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 and graffiti fans, couples and families with older children can spend about two hours walking Melbourne's mural laneways by day, from Hosier Lane to AC/DC Lane. Along the way they solve puzzles set in the walls while a story unfolds about a runaway teen searching for a lost godmother. If you want a live guide to ask about the artists, or 4.8 km is too far for your group, choose a different outing.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Melbourne graffiti walk start, and which walls does it visit?
It starts at 3 Hosier Ln. The 14 stops include the AWOL mural, the Keith Haring Mural, the Chopper Lane dog mural, the painted public toilet, the Sovereignty mural, Meyers Place, Coles Fountain and the graffiti of AC/DC Lane, with Hosier Lane itself along the way.
Is this a guided graffiti tour of Melbourne?
No. It is self-guided and played on your phone. The app leads you from wall to wall, tells the story behind each place and sets a puzzle in what you see. You start whenever you like, with no group to join and no guide to wait for.
Is it suitable for kids aged 10 and 12?
Yes, that age fits well. The quest is tagged kid friendly and recommended for families, and it suits older children who enjoy spotting details in murals and solving clues. Plan for about 4.8 km on foot over roughly two hours, which suits children used to a long walk.

Allow about two hours to cover the 4.8 km route at an easy pace. You can pause at any point, stop for food or a rest, and continue later from where you left off. It is best played during the day, when the murals are easiest to see.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
There is no time slot to book, so you start whenever suits you. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, so friends or family can follow the story and solve the puzzles together on their own phones.

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.
