Itinerary and highlights

A gripping murder has shaken The Rocks… and only you can uncover the truth. Step into Sydney’s oldest neighborhood as a detective, following clues and twists that bring local legends and suspects to life.

During this self-guided walking adventure, you’ll explore The Rocks at your own pace, solving 10–15 puzzles that reveal hidden details about historical streets, secret corners, and eerie tales. Using your phone, you’ll follow a built-in map, track new leads, and crack riddles linked to iconic sites. Each challenge unlocks story fragments that pull you deeper into the mystery. Along the way, you’ll “interview” colorful characters, examine evidence, and determine who killed star travel blogger Bella Wanderlust.
