The Perth scavenger hunt starts at the Spanda sculpture on Elizabeth Quay and heads past the Talbot Hobbs Memorial to the Bell Tower on the Swan River. You continue to St George’s Cathedral, Perth Town Hall and the Royal Perth Hospital Museum, then St Mary’s Cathedral and the Perth Mint, and finish at the Notting Hill bench in Queens Gardens.
The route covers about 3.3 km, roughly 42 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Perth’s centre mixes riverside spaces with buildings from its colonial and gold-rush days. The Bell Tower houses the Swan Bells, including historic bells from London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Town Hall was built by convict labour, and the Perth Mint has been refining Western Australian gold since 1899. Two cathedrals and green Queens Gardens complete a walk that is easy to follow on foot.
A game makes you look closely at plaques, towers and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a flat white whenever you like.
The Perth scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours. That includes about 42 minutes (3.3 km) of actual walking; the rest is solving riddles and listening to stories. You can pause at any time and continue later or on another day.
