Outdoor Things to Do in Brisbane

Brisbane is Queensland's riverside capital, and Questo turns it into a self-guided outdoor escape game you play on your own phone. Pick a quest, follow the clues, solve puzzles, and let real stories about the city unfold step by step as you walk.

The quests cover a wide range of moods. Some dig into Brisbane's colonial and convict history, some are puzzle trails through the old streets, and others are relaxed explorations along the river and through the central parks. You set the pace and the route is yours, with no guide and no fixed start time.

Along the way you pass the landmarks that define the city. Queen Street Mall and King George Square sit at its heart, Brisbane City Hall and its clock tower look over the square, and the Old Windmill in Spring Hill is the oldest building still standing in Brisbane. The City Botanic Gardens and the South Bank parklands frame the water, while Story Bridge ties the two banks together.

Two local favourites are worth building into your day. Streets Beach at South Bank is Australia's only inner-city beach, a free lagoon with lifeguards in the middle of town. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs, just across the river, are the spot locals pick for sunset, with the skyline glowing over the water. They suit couples after a different kind of date, families keeping kids curious, friends out for the day, or anyone exploring solo. Grab your phone, pick a quest, and start whenever you like.
