About this quest
🍀 The Case of the Lost Luck: An Outdoor Detective Mystery Game 🍀
Fortune has faltered with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Shamrock. As luck spirals into chaos—clocks stop, signs fall, and the bakery's ovens cool—you are summoned to unravel this enigma.
Was it the reticent leprechaun, Rusty, with his mischievous past? Finn McGuire, the desperate pub owner last seen with the shamrock? Or perhaps the mayor himself, whose ambitions might be fueled by the town's misfortune?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Friends, couples and mixed-age families who like a whodunit will question a leprechaun, a pub owner and the mayor over a missing Golden Shamrock, walking 11 stops around Civic Square, the Canberra Carousel and Glebe Park Rotunda. Locals get a 90-minute outing in their city centre. If you want a live guide or an indoor escape room, pick something else: this is 2.7 km outdoors, solved on your own.
