Historic Hunts Turns Local History into a Walking Game

Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Riddle-driven GPS treasure hunts guide players between real landmarks, where each arrival unlocks a piece of local history.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The routes combine riddles with on-location confirmation: players walk to a suspected landmark, let the phone verify the arrival, and may be asked to read or photograph what they find. The homepage lists six routes ranging from five to eight marks, including a roughly 4.8-kilometre Mooloolaba hunt and several Sydney trails. A built-in simulator lets visitors move through stops and imitate GPS before committing to the walk.
