Can you see it glittering and sparkling on the horizon? Melbourne is the city of gold miners in Australia. From 1850, countless adventurers tried their luck here as hunters for the rare precious metal. What glitters and sparkles in the city today, however, are not gold nuggets, but the calm waters of Port Phillip Bay and the striking steel and glass skyscrapers in the city center. On a scavenger hunt in Melbourne, you can explore this unique backdrop up close and face tricky challenges together as a team.
The Melbourne region is home to over four million people. This makes the city the second largest metropolis in Australia. Accordingly, it has a lot of culture, culinary delights and sights to offer. On a scavenger hunt in Melbourne, you are right in the middle of urban life. Take your tickets to the central starting point, log into the app and plunge into the big city adventure! Now you decide who will be your game master. He or she will receive GPS-accurate navigation via the app so that you can get to the stations safely. On the way there, you will encounter numerous points of interest. Many of them are comparatively young, as the city only experienced real growth in the mid-19th century. However, this does not mean that Melbourne has no early history. Archaeologists have been able to show that the region has been inhabited by indigenous people for around 30,000 years. You can find out more about their culture and traditions at the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Center, for example.
The city of Melbourne as it exists today dates back to its foundation in 1835. One special feature was that - unlike many other Australian cities - it was not designed as a penal colony. Instead, Melbourne was a city to live in from the very beginning. You can still see this today when you stroll through the city centre as part of your Melbourne scavenger hunt and enjoy the wide paths and various green spaces.
When it comes to impressive sights, Melbourne has plenty to offer. One of them is St Paul's Cathedral. The cathedral looks like a building steeped in history from continental Europe. This was exactly the plan when it was built in the late 19th century. The same can be said of Parliament House, where the parliament of the state of Victoria meets. With its neo-Gothic style, it could also be located in England if it weren't for the palm trees that surround it. The climate here on the coast is pleasantly mild. However, the weather is considered diva-like and can surprise with sunshine, storms and rain on the same day. However, especially in the European winter months, when it is summer here in the southern hemisphere, outdoor activities are almost always possible - ideal conditions for an exciting scavenger hunt in Melbourne.
As a young city, Melbourne naturally also has many modern landmarks to offer, such as Federation Square, where art and culture are at home. We recommend the Ian Potter Centre, which is dedicated exclusively to Australian art. Around Federation Square you will also find numerous cafés and bars for a break on your Melbourne scavenger hunt. To ensure that you also get to see the many other sights, the route for your urban adventure is specially designed so that it takes you past many of them. The stations where you will face tricky challenges are located nearby.
Were you able to master all the tasks as a team and also solve your individual bonus tasks correctly? Then you can look forward to receiving plenty of points - you've certainly earned yourself a place at the top of our leaderboard. Now you can celebrate in style afterwards. If you prefer the stylish ambience of a Victorian café, then the Hopetoun Tea Rooms are the place for you. Here, you'll be served tea like in centuries gone by - in combination with a modern selection of cakes and pastries. Or are you more in the mood for a BBQ on the beach? You'll find plenty of places to do that here too, for example on the popular St. Kilda Beach. With a view of the water, you can reflect on your experiences on the scavenger hunt.
