The best experience
I was never a fan of scavenger hunts until today! I never normally do things like this but gave it a try as had a spare weekend in Sydney.

Very good time
I’ve been living in Sydney for twenty years. But I never got to know this amazing side and history of my city. Definitely recommend to other people to visit.

The best choice I could made
It was a fun adventure without the need of a guide. Was a good way to see the best of Sydney with my friends. Adventure Clues was a great choice!

To any mysterious history lover out there
This adventure is equally fun for both history buffs and mystery lovers. Which is a perfect combo for my team. Could do with a slightly clearer route.

Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues?
+
Included: Use of Web app. Not included: No guides included. This is self guided tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues?
+
outside customs house Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Explore Sydney's Secrets In A Series Of Fun Cryptic Clues?
+
