Night falls over Melbourne, and you step out of Flinders Street Station with one thing on your mind: Esmeralda. Your niece - long believed gone - is rumored to have been seen in a city café by none other than Grimalkin, your black cat and loyal companion. 

As a young vampire of just 200 years, you’ve learned to live in the shadows, walking among humans, feeding only once a year - on Halloween, of course. Now, under the safety of moonlight, your quest begins. Follow clues across Melbourne’s historic streets, unravel ghostly secrets, and chase the truth through puzzles, hidden spots, and strange encounters. 

Walk, explore, and piece together the mystery in this thrilling urban adventure, made to be shared with friends, family... or familiars.

Storyline

You disembark the train and fill your nostrils with the fresh air. You walk outside the grand old entrance of Flinders Street Station and look up at the impressive façade. Oh, the human smell in these enclosed spaces! It’s maddening. 

You’re a vampire, quite new in vampire age at a young 200 years old, but also one of the good ones. Indeed, you only drink human blood once a year, at Halloween. We must all celebrate somehow, right? 

Now that the sun has set, you were at last able to get back into the city and continue your search. A few days ago, your black cat Grimalkin came from her night stroll saying she saw your dead niece Esmeralda in a café in town! You need to elucidate this mystery...

We had a great time wandering Melbourne tonight learning about some of its more interesting and unspoken histories. We both loved the mix of history and the fictional story that led us on our journey. Thanks so much to the creators for a great adventure.
