Fierce Nights & Neon Lights – Kings Cross Sydney Scavenger Hunt

About this experience

Transport yourself back to the gritty streets of the 1920s and 30s underworld, an era dominated by defiant crime lords and ladies who ruled over King's Cross. By solving the 13 cryptic clues in this infamous area, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Kate and Tilly Devine who peddled their questionable ‘business’ in The Cross. Watch out for the notorious Razorhurst gangs who sloshed ale and slashed, and take a detour past ‘blood alley’.

You will receive your link to play via email or SMS once you have completed the booking. Head over to the starting location and begin your adventure.

You also have the option to hop into a mysterious-lit speakeasy bar that we recommend along the way – so If you like rich and risqué history coupled with a martini, then tell the girls to slip on their flapper dresses and the guys to slide on their fedoras. Prepare for an adventure to be remembered… or forgotten.
