Laneway art, a grand old station and a street named for a rock band — Melbourne hides its best stories between the grid lines.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Melbourne on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Spot the Majorca Building, Spanish romance in the laneways
• Meet under the clocks at Flinders Street Station, as Melburnians do
• Rock down AC/DC Lane, the loudest little street in Australia

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.

The world's most liveable scavenger hunt.

What to expect

Starting at the State Library Victoria on Swanston Street, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and dive into Melbourne's famous grid. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Majorca Building glows Spanish-blue in Degraves-side laneway country, a 1920s romantic among the coffee windows. Riddles order a flat white and begin.

Flinders Street Station follows — the mustard-yellow icon where 'meet me under the clocks' has arranged a century of rendezvous. Trivia checks the timetables of history.

Then AC/DC Lane cranks the volume: street art, stickers and rock pilgrimage in one narrow strip, Cherry Bar legends included.

Around two hours of arcades and alleys. The leaderboard is announced — for those about to win, we salute you.
