About this quest
🍀 The Case of the Lost Luck: An Outdoor Detective Mystery Game 🍀
Fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock. As luck spirals into chaos—clocks stop, signs fall, and the bakery's ovens cool—you are summoned to unravel this enigma.
Was it the reticent leprechaun, Rusty, with his mischievous past? Finn McGuire, the desperate pub owner last seen with the shamrock? Or perhaps the mayor himself, whose ambitions might be fueled by the town's misfortune?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting and ending at Adelaide Magistrates Court, this 2.1 km loop passes the Three Rivers Fountain, Chinatown and the Norman Street Murals while you work out who took the Golden Shamrock, in around 90 minutes. Friends, couples, mixed-age families and locals wanting a group outing will enjoy it. Anyone hoping for a live guide to answer questions, or for an indoor escape room, should pick something else.
