CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Step into the covert world of a citywide detective mystery, where your mission is to expose a powerful secret society that has manipulated leaders and shaped world events from the shadows for centuries.
A whistleblower has surfaced with explosive information, drawing you into a high-stakes game of deceit and discovery.
Your task: follow the clues, crack the codes, and stay one step ahead before their next grand scheme unfolds.
Will you be the one to unmask the society and reveal the truth?
Oh… and when you do, don’t forget to say thank you.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
From Salamanca Place, a 2 km loop passes Tide Gauge House, Princess Park, The Rose Garden and Kelly Steps as you trail a secret society through codes. Friends, couples and families with teens who enjoy escape rooms and murder mysteries get around 90 minutes of outdoor puzzling at their own pace. Young children may lose track of the conspiracy plot, and anyone wanting a live guide should look elsewhere.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this something we can do in Hobart tomorrow without booking a time?
Yes. There is no set time slot and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever suits you, tomorrow, this weekend or on a free afternoon. Head to Salamanca Place, open the game on your phone and begin. You can also pause and continue later.
Where does the game start and finish?
It starts at Salamanca Place and loops back there at the end. Along the way the clues lead you to Tide Gauge House, Princess Park, the Rose Garden, Kelly Steps and Salamanca Square, so you finish close to where you began.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for about 2 km of walking, depending on how quickly you solve the codes. Kelly Steps is one of the stops, so expect a set of stairs. You can pause at any point and continue later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is aimed at adults and works well for families with teens, who can take on the codes and clue-following themselves. The secret society story and code-breaking may be hard going for younger children, who would need an adult to lead the puzzles.
