The experience
About this quest
The alleys of Melbourne echo with color, rebellion, and hidden voices. You’re a runaway teen, tracing the memory of a godmother who once believed in your art - before life pushed you both into silence. With no leads, you leave your mark across the city’s walls… until something extraordinary happens. A mural moves. A figure speaks.
The characters in Melbourne’s street art have come to life, and they hear your thoughts. Through vibrant graffiti, secret paths, and clever clues, they guide you on a journey to reconnect with what you’ve lost. Walk, solve puzzles, and discover the city in ways you never imagined.
This is more than a quest - it’s a story of identity, hope, and finding your way back through the paint-splattered streets of Melbourne.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Street art fans, couples and families with older children spend 2.5 to 3 hours walking 4.8 km of Melbourne's mural laneways, from Hosier Lane to the Ceramic seats, solving clues in the paintings as a runaway teen's story unfolds. Choose something else if you want a live guide to question, have small children who tire on long walks, or need an indoor plan.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a guided graffiti tour of Melbourne?
It is self-guided. Your phone leads you through the graffiti laneways, including Hosier Lane, Meyers Place and the murals on Little Smith Street, telling the story of each wall and setting a puzzle in the art in front of you. There is no guide and no group to join.
Is it suitable for kids aged 10 and 12?
Yes, it is tagged kid friendly and recommended for families, and it suits older children who enjoy spotting details and solving clues. The walk covers 4.8 km over about 2.5 to 3 hours, so very young children may find it long.
Where does the street art walk start and finish?
It starts at Hosier Lane and finishes at the Ceramic seats, so it is not a loop. Along the way you pass 14 stops, including Coles Fountain, the painted public toilet, the Keith Haring mural and the AWOL mural.
How does an exploring app quest like this work?
You play on your phone. The app guides you from place to place, tells the story behind each mural and gives you a puzzle to solve using what you see. You can start any time, pause along the way and continue later.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the same route. There is no time slot to book, so you can start whenever suits you, though the quest is best played during the day when the murals are easy to see.
Is Walls That Speak: Melbourne's Street Art 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.

Melbourne street-art context
A legal and illegal art form that continually changes
Melbourne’s laneways became internationally known for murals, paste-ups, stencils and graffiti created by many different artists. Some works are commissioned and protected; others are temporary, contested or replaced. This quest treats the streets as a changing public canvas and uses a fictional art story to encourage close looking without attributing unsigned work to famous artists. Playable languages: English.
