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.

Veel Gestelde Vragen
Is this suitable for teens or older kids?
Mostly yes—if they like ghost stories and are okay with darker themes. The story is eerie (vampires, missing niece, grave-robbery history), but not horrifying. Best perhaps with company and in evening hours.
What’s the vibe if I do this on a date?
Romantic + thrilling. Walking with someone special down shadow-ed laneways, sharing clues, pausing for a dramatic view of the Princess Theatre or Parliament House glowing in the dark—it builds a memorable shared adventure.
Is this quest better after dark?
Yes—night adds mood. The shadows, empty streets, and dim lighting make ghost stories creepier. If you want goosebumps, do this after sunset so the feel hits harder.
What historic artifacts or installations will I cross by?
You’ll see things like the Forgotten Songs art installation in Angel Place, the Tank Stream Plaque, Brown Bear Lane mural, and the Robert Brough Memorial Fountain—all woven into the plot.
Looking for something spooky and dramatic under the city lights?
Yes. This quest starts at Flinders Street Station, then leads you through Melbourne’s atmospheric lanes at night—mystery cafés, haunted theatres, whispers of ghosts. If the moon is out, this feels like stepping into a gothic novel.
