This one is fairly simple, ideal for beginners.
I bought this one like a year ago because it was half price, but only did it in August 2025 for the first time. All steps were still current and we had was no issues with any of the clues - I was weary we may not get the last one, as the MCA charges entry now, but you can have access to the terrace without charge.
Overall, it felt too short for me - almost to the point I think this one should be free. The clues were simple, yet rewarding when answered correctly. I would recommend this one to someone who hasn't done an "outdoor escape game" before or people who don't want to walk much or don't have much time to spend. Even then, I would not pay full price for this one.
This is a fantastic way to introduce not only yourself to some of Sydney's history, but also to a user friendly and informative and fun way to explore the city. You can just breeze through it all, but my advise is to take the time to truly explore each step along the way. I myself would start at the Southern end of Hyde Park and explore the ANZAC Memorial, especially if you are able to be there for 11am and the Last Post. It's emotional. Hyde Park Barracks has free admission and self guided audio tour. It's FANTASTIC. Completing the tour in The Rocks is also great as it can lead directly into another tour of that area.
This tour truly wets the appetite to complete more tours and see more of wonderful Sydney
The puzzles are fun and the clues are great, especially as there are differing levels of clues and differing levels of hints. Informative tour. The company went above and beyond to ensure we were able to get this product in time. Great service.
With up to date guide photos and interesting narrative, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience with my wife. Recommend sharing a wireless earbud each then you can enjoy it simultaneously
It went well until Martin Place, which we walked up and down 4 times before discovering the thing we were looking far had actually been covered up for some renovation work! Ah well, I guess we got some exercise!
We did have a little trouble when the item in Nurses walk was "a few steps away" - well, 50m at least.
Nevertheless, a pleasant walk.
We took our two boys (age 7 and 2) to the Rocks last weekend on this tour and it was loads of fun. It was exciting getting the little package in the mail and my 7 year old loved looking through the booklet and downloading the app to get ready for our tour. When we got there most of the puzzles were pretty easy to work out and easily accessible with a pram (except for clue 7 which had some stairs). Great fun!
We enjoyed the walking tour very much and learned a lot along the way . The puzzles were fun too !
One of the best things to do in the city and learn about it’s history. the tour is extremely user friendly. highly recommended
We did the Rocks puzzle tour with our kids 13, 10 and 9. It was a great way to see the Rocks and we all had heaps of fun!
Fantastic!
Perfect length of time, distance and commentary.
My husband and I are Sydney siders and often look for ways to play tourist in our own city. Although we know the city well, we were impressed with how much of the city you got to explore. We were even surprised about some history that we didn’t know. We thought it was great. If you’re a visitor, you’ll think it’s excellent!
You don't know what you don't know about your own city, and this tour proved the old saying.
A couple suggestions: 1) Add the War Memorial in Hyde Park to the start of your tour 2) Give yourself time to do the (free) audio tour of the Hyde Park Barracks. I'd suggest an hour minimum
Clear, concise and informative. It was a excellent choice of route which takes in the highlights of Sydney.
Picked up flyer on a whim and checked it out. I love doing puzzles and thought it would be a nice way to learn some Sydney history. It was even better than I had hoped. Puzzles were a good mix from somewhat obvious to brain crunching which is what I was envisioning. Now I know much more history about the Harbour and rocks area. Thank you.
I did this tour on my own, and was amazed to discover so much about Sydney in a short time, despite having living here my whole life. The puzzles were tricky too which I liked!
This audio tour was very informative and the description of the various areas was brought to life by first person anecdotes. We would recommend it to others.
The rocks area has so much history, we particularly enjoyed visiting the alleyways and little streets. Had a tasty coffee from the French bakery.
Luckily my wife and I found this tour before we explored the Rocks area, was really interesting hearing about the area otherwise we would have probably missed a lot of things
Thanks for suggesting this escape game to us, we had a great time! Been to Sydney many times but still saw a few new places and had fun doing the puzzles
Was great to get out, learn about our cities history & the puzzles got the kids thinking. Brought our dog along & it was suitable for him too, with no spots he couldn’t access.
This was an excellent free quick tour of Sydney that I would recommend for single travelers and couples. The puzzles were fun too.
What a great little find this app was. We are from Sydney and learnt a little bit at each stop that we didn’t know previously. We would recommend this app to others and will be doing the other tours as well.
The audio tour is the best way to experience the old town area! Without the tour, you miss out on learning much of the history and significance of the different spots. It was easy to listen to, and I loved that I could do it at my own pace and was able to linger in my favorites places. We stopped and had lunch halfway at a lovely little french cafe / patisserie (go there!). Would highly recommend it to others visiting The Rocks!
