You lift your phone at ANZAC Square and the first clue arrives like a dare — a line of text that sends you down a heritage stair, across a river-view promenade and into the small lanes that most visitors miss.
This self-guided, clue-driven trail threads around central Brisbane, using 17 prompts to move teams through civic landmarks, laneways and riverfront vistas before finishing at a pub on Eagle Street Pier. ANZAC Square itself anchors the route with its 20th-century memorial, while the Brisbane River, which carved the city’s bend through alluvial plain and sandstone, shapes the views you’ll pass.
Expect stretches of pedestrianised mall, sandstone steps, and broad riverwalks with plenty of café stops — the city’s compact scale keeps distances short but engaging. The trail mixes modern glass towers with older civic buildings, and you’ll notice local culture in everything from public art to lunchtime foot traffic.
Practically: the provider estimates 2.5–3 hours; plan on roughly 3–5 km of walking with minimal elevation. The game pauses its clock after every correct answer so teams can savour sights without rushing, but one clue requires a single flight of stairs (alternate answer provided). Public transport hubs and plenty of cafés make logistics easy, and a mobile connection is required to receive clues.
Bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone and a small charger, and pick a start time that avoids the midday summer heat. The trail suits curious walkers who like puzzles and city history and rewards a careful eye as much as a quick stride.
