Over deze quest

You’ve broken your chains, now run. Set in the heart of Sydney Harbour, this immersive quest drops you into the boots of a 19th-century convict making a desperate escape from Cockatoo Island. 

Once a prison for the colony’s most feared criminals, the island’s crumbling tunnels, towering guard posts, and eerie work yards hold both danger and the clues you need to break free. Solve puzzles, follow a trail of secrets, and walk through real history with every step. 

Whether you’re with friends or family, this is a journey of discovery, connection, and adventure. Can you outsmart the guards and find your way back to freedom before it’s too late?

Hoogtepunten

  • Follow in the footsteps of convicts as you make your way around the historic sites on the island.

  • Uncover the island's secret tunnel that served as an air-raid shelter during World War II.

  • Discover the solitary confinement cells that were hidden until 2009.

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Sydney

You’re a prisoner who has been taken to the penal colony on Cockatoo Island to serve time for your crime. But you manage to escape! 

Hide from the guards as you make your way around the historic sites of Cockatoo Island, trying to find a way back to the mainland.
