About this quest
Forget every ghost story you've heard about this city. This Halloween, ten restless spirits are loose on its streets. 👻 No history book knows their names. No tour guide has heard of them. Most are just lost souls. One is lying to you. 💀
A hooded Oracle needs a ghost hunter. Every spirit is stuck on unfinished business: solve its mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles (some only the street itself can answer), then name the Evil One and destroy it before it finds you. 🕷️
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at Brisbane City Hall, this 2.3 km trail takes in Queen Street Mall, the Queen Victoria Monument and the City Botanic Gardens, with ten ghosts to catch and ciphers to crack in around 90 minutes. Friends, couples, families with older kids and escape-room fans who would rather solve than listen will enjoy it. If you want documented local hauntings or a live guide, pick a guided night walk instead.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the ghost hunt start and where does it go?
The walk starts at Brisbane City Hall and follows a trail of restless spirits past Queen Street Mall, the City Botanic Gardens, the Queen Victoria Monument and Little Door. It covers about 2.3 km on foot, and you can start whenever it suits you.
Is it like an escape room around Queen Street?
In a way. Each spirit has unfinished business and a mystery to solve, using ciphers and riddles, some of which only the street around you can answer. Solve one and it gives up a clue, and the clues lead you to name the Evil One. Queen Street Mall is one of the stops.
How long does it take?
Plan on around 90 minutes for the 2.3 km route, a little longer if you linger at the stops. You can pause the game and continue later, so a break for food or a drink does not cost you your progress.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy a spooky story and can handle riddles and ciphers. Most of the ten spirits are lost souls, but one is lying to you and must be named and destroyed, so very young or easily scared children may find it too much.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
There is no fixed start time and no guide to meet, so you begin whenever you like. One ticket covers your whole group, playing together on phones up to the number of devices stated for the quest.
Is Ghost Hunt in Brisbane self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does Ghost Hunt in Brisbane start and finish?
It starts at Brisbane City Hall, 64 Adelaide St, Brisbane City QLD 4000, Australia and finishes at Point 12, 257 Albert St, Brisbane City QLD 4000, Australia. The route is approximately 2.3 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
What is included with Duo and Fellowship?
Duo provides access on 2 devices. Fellowship provides access on up to 5 devices, so each included player can follow the experience on their own phone.
