Ghosts of Sydney: The Lost Son

Standard/Tier1

Your first day as a guide at Sydney’s Hyde Park Barracks ends, but the building isn’t ready to let you go. As you lock the door, a cold touch stops you—a ghostly woman in a long white dress appears, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Help me find my son,” she pleads.&nbsp;Against your better judgment, you follow her into the shadows of the city’s past. What begins as curiosity becomes a chilling journey through Sydney’s most haunted corners, where every puzzle reveals the story of lives long gone. Walk historic streets, uncover clues, and connect with the forgotten voices of the city.&nbsp;This is a real-world mystery best shared with friends or family. The past is calling—will you answer?
