Over deze quest

"Secrets of Sydney: Hidden Secrets of the Queen Victoria Building" is an exhilarating outdoor escape game that plunges participants into the heart of Sydney's rich history. 

Players step into the shoes of a contemporary Sydney businessman, whose routine life is upended when the ghost of Mei Quong Tart, a Chinese businessman from the late 1800s, suddenly appears before him. 

As players unravel the narrative, they'll discover that Mei was tragically murdered within the walls of the iconic Queen Victoria Building. 

His restless spirit now seeks a champion to decipher the building's concealed riddles, the keys to setting his soul free. Traverse the historic corridors, delve into forgotten tales, and decode the mysteries to help Mei find the peace he so desperately craves.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Sydney combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 11 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.
