About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 511benitab0 contributionsCool, but long and lots of walking.Good art and artist info. But it took hours! The estimated time they state is very inaccurate. Also it’s a lot of travel, so not awesome for young ones. And some of the murals have been altered or graffitied over so the clues/challenges don’t work. But a fun idea and concept.Written 4 January 2025
- 422louises0 contributionsFun way to explore Melbourne’s lanewaysA fun way to explore more of Melbourne, away from ‘tourist’ areas. The instructions are easy to follow and the challenges doable. We also learnt a lot about street art and artists.Written 1 October 2022

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As a tourist, I liked that it toured us around the city to nice places we didnt know was just walking distance.
However, me and the group of people playing did not bother to read the stories.. We just wanted to answer the puzzles and discover new places.
Maybe the app can ask for a choice if player wants a reward at the end (higher price) to offer a reward at the end, like a bottle of beer? or discount at some restaurant, or 5$ voucher off? It would make the game definitely more rewarding as players look forward to the prize

My husband and I found the app Questo through this purchase and fell in love. It is so much fun, and a great way to see new areas of a city, whilst also learning. We were able to stop when we found things that interested us (for a beer or coffee) and continue at our own pace.

We loved the exciting nature of the game. The quiz questions were also fun and made you think.
This would be a good game for those that are interested in Melbourne's history.

After paying for this experience we downloaded the app as asked which then said we needed gems to complete the experience? This was not outlined that there would be further costs after purchasing the initial tour. We tried many things to get past this and in the end just gave up. Trying to navigate your site to get someone to talk to about this was a nightmare and same in the end just gave up. Really disappointed

We picked this for something different than our usual date night - we were also trying to avoid the pub for a change! It was an amazing way to learn some history, see different locations and get our steps in all in one!

Super fun! I like how you can go at your own pace and the history behind the locations. The story of the vampire was also interesting and kept us entertained.
