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 Queens Gardens, this 2.1 km CBD loop passes King George Square, Post Office Square and the MacArthur Museum as you question suspects over a missing golden shamrock. Friends wanting a playful outdoor outing, or families with older kids who enjoy a whodunnit, get around 90 minutes of clue-solving. If you want a guide sharing serious Brisbane history, choose another tour.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this a crime or detective game?
Yes, it is a light-hearted outdoor detective mystery. The Golden Shamrock has vanished and you weigh up three suspects: Rusty the leprechaun, pub owner Finn McGuire and the mayor. You collect clues and solve puzzles at each stop to work out who took it. It is a fictional case, not a tour of real crimes.
Where does the treasure hunt start and finish?
It starts at 1 Queens Gardens and finishes back at Queens Gardens, so you end where you began. On the way the route passes King George Square, the Anzac Square Arcade Building, Post Office Square, MacArthur Museum Brisbane and the Brisbane RAAF Memorial.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for a walk of about 2.1 km through the city centre. There is no set time slot, so you start whenever you like, and you can pause the game, take a break and continue later.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. Everyone follows the same story and puzzles on their phones, which makes it work well for friends, couples or a family outing without needing to join other players.
Is it suitable for children?
The story is playful rather than dark, with a leprechaun, a bakery whose ovens go cold and a town whose luck has run out. Children who can follow clues and walk about 2 km tend to enjoy it most with an adult helping on the puzzles.
Is Lucky Treasure Hunt: The Golden Shamrock 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 Lucky Treasure Hunt: The Golden Shamrock in Brisbane start and finish?
