What to expect
You'll download the app before starting, then launch it whenever suits you—morning, afternoon, evening. The GPS directs you to specific Brisbane locations where you read narrative snippets, answer questions, or unlock clues tied to historical figures and events. It's part walking tour, part scavenger hunt: you're moving through real streets and encountering actual sites, but the app adds a narrative layer and puzzle structure. Expect to cover a few kilometres at an easy pace, with flexibility to linger, grab coffee, or come back the next day and resume mid-adventure.
