Offered in: English

Play our interactive discovery game and solve puzzles in Sydney's Rocks precinct. The start point is conveniently located a few minutes walk from the cruise ship terminal at Circular Quay.

You will be given cryptic clue riddles to solve and answer on your phone. These guide you from one hidden spot to the next, and reveal the route you will follow as you explore this iconic part of Sydney.

This self-guided experience can be enjoyed by yourself, or with a small group of friends (1-5 players).

We will send you a link to a website to play the game on any mobile device (e.g. iPhone, Android). No app download is required — it is entirely web-based and user-friendly.

This tour was the winner of Transport for NSW's City Innovation Challenge in 2021.
