Melbourne's Fitzroy & Treasury Gardens: Self Guided Exploration Game

This is a self-guided exploration game played along the tree-lined paths of Melbourne. You will explore 12 different locations while following the story of the gardener, a retired craftsman building a miniature village in cement, seeking the final piece to complete his hidden world. At each location, you will solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues around on statues, monuments or facades, and receive the instructions for the next chapter. The game happens mainly in the Fitzroy Gardens and Treasury Gardens, mixing real historical facts with local legends. Perfect for history buffs, puzzle fans and curious travelers.

Starting from The Robert Burns Memorial, the stops are spaced on average 150m apart, with each location taking around 5-10 min to complete. The route passes through local landmarks & attractions such as Victorian Emergency Services Memorial, Cooks' Cottage and Athena Temple.
