The call comes through your phone: a blinking list of scavenger items, a remote host available by chat, and the harbour breeze nudging you toward The Rocks. You step onto old sandstone cobbles with an app as your map and the city's pulse as your timer — this is Sydney reframed as a city-sized survival playground.

History
The central area you’ll traverse sits on Gadigal land of the Eora Nation and later became one of Sydney’s earliest European settlement zones; traces of this layered history appear in The Rocks’ sandstone and street plan.
Conservation
Stick to public paths, avoid littering, and follow signs around heritage buildings; digital games in sensitive areas should minimize impact by keeping teams on established routes.
