Meyers Place Bar
Originally known as Nicholas Lane, Meyers Place connects Little Collins and Bourke up at the top end of town. Selected as one of the pilot projects for the city's new Green Your Laneways campaign, the laneway's grey walls have been brought to life by green galleries, including a giant Mike Makatron mural, 'Jungle Funk'. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Sited in Parliament Gardens, Coles Fountain is a striking counterpoint to its historical garden setting. Its stainless-steel tubing forms a geometrical frame some three metres high, from which water cascades into a shallow pool below. To 'enter' the C-shaped fountain is to be virtually encircled by a curtain of water. It is set on finished bluestone paving, which reflects the geometry of the fountain. The plaque reads: 'A gift to the people of Victoria from G.J. Coles and Coy Limited'. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

In recognition of its local, national and international significance, it was added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2004. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Royal Exhibition Building
Entitled “Never Enough”, the mural of RONE delivers one of his signature portraits combined with text that was painted by Wonderlust. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Questo games - family fun that helps you see what you may not have known existed
Another good Questo quest but a couple of the puzzles were made difficult by a change in street art not reflected in the game and changed in street sign. creators should keep track of changes.
Response from the operator: Thank you for playing another Questo game and for pointing out the changes in the street art. I am sorry those outdated clues made the puzzles difficult, and we want to learn more about exactly which spots changed so we can update our route. Please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can fix this and offer you a free quest for your next family adventure!

Cool, but long and lots of walking.
Good art and artist info. But it took hours! The estimated time they state is very inaccurate. Also it’s a lot of travel, so not awesome for young ones. And some of the murals have been altered or graffitied over so the clues/challenges don’t work. But a fun idea and concept.
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We’re glad you liked the concept and art and we totally get how the time and travel can be tough, especially with little ones. We’ll work on improving the experience and hope to make it more enjoyable next time!

Some one should check if everything is still correct
Didn't finish it was hard to keep up. The third one had a different answer than what was in the clue. Pick a cool day.
Response from the operator: Oh no, sorry to hear you had a bit of a challenge! 🕵️♂️Let us know more about this at care@questoapp.com. If you ever feel like giving it another shot, perhaps on a cooler day, we'd love to have you back for more adventure. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. Happy exploring! 🌐🚀

Fun way to explore Melbourne’s laneways
A fun way to explore more of Melbourne, away from ‘tourist’ areas. The instructions are easy to follow and the challenges doable. We also learnt a lot about street art and artists.
Response from the operator: We are grateful that you had fun exploring Melbourne. We thank you for sharing the positive experience with us. Hope to see you play more games with us.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game cost?
+
Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game?
+
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 Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game?
+
Around 1 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melbourne Street Art Quest: Self-Guided Urban Story Game 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. 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 Melbourne?
+
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 Melbourne?
+
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.
