Overview

Night descends on Melbourne, and so does your mission. You are a young vampire - just 200 years old - drawn back into the mortal world by a whisper: your niece Esmeralda may still be alive. With only your loyal black cat Grimalkin and the cover of darkness, your hunt begins.

This self-guided quest leads you through Melbourne’s shadowy alleys, gothic landmarks, and ghost-haunted corners as you chase clues, solve 10+ puzzles, and unravel a supernatural mystery. Using your phone as your guide, you’ll explore iconic and hidden locations tied to the city’s eerie past and your immortal legacy. Discover history, fantasy, and imagination intertwined beneath the moonlight.

What makes this tour unique? It’s a gothic, story-driven adventure that turns Melbourne into a vampire’s playground, blending mystery, lore, and puzzle-solving in an unforgettable format.

Perfect for families, couples, and groups looking for something unusual and unforgettable.
