What people are saying about Melbourne

This was a great activity for me and my son. We found that a lot of things to do in Melbourne appear to be closed on mondays and Tuesdays so we were not sure what to do. This was our 1st visit to Melbourne and navigating round was very daunting. This tour gave us an hour and a half of fun whilst visiting lots of great landmarks. There was also the opportunity to have a sneaky beer along the way. Would definitely recommend and the price is less then a schooner. Will definitely use the app again.

This street art scavenger hunt was super interesting. We saw some real hidden gems, Melbourne has such talented artists! The Adventure Clues game was super easy to use and great to play as a challenge. When you play you learn about the street arts. Recommend for sure!

Great fun, kept the kids on the move around Melbourne for 4 hours. Minor errors at left turn at art society (should be a block earlier) and the eagle has gone. Good fun, worth doing and getting into lame ways of mlb. Same program around criminal world could be cool.

Was our first experience with VR and it did not disappoint! We went as a family day activity, (kids aged 10 & 12) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were fabulous.

Better than I imagined. Staff helped guide us with subtle hints if we felt too stuck on the puzzles. It was awesome fun!!!
