You answer the clues, you discover the secret sights and hidden gems, and it’s your team that competes for top spot on our leaderboard.

Brisbane Scavenger Hunt Ideas: Parties, Corporate and Group Activities
Planning a hens or bucks night and want to do something fresh, exciting and new?
Or have you been put in charge of organising a corporate team-building activity and can’t bear another one spent in the office?
We hear you, and we have good news for you.
CityDays’ Brisbane scavenger hunts are perfect for groups of all sizes. For bigger groups, we recommend separating into teams to make sure that everyone can get involved - plus, the competitive element gets quite spicy when there’s more of you.
We also offer a bespoke service for corporate groups who want to go above and beyond for their employees or workmates - just get in touch with us and tell us what your requirements are. We love a challenge!
A Scavenger Hunt in Brisbane the CityDays Way
No waiting in line, no hassle, no guide, no strangers.
Your enjoyment is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we create trails that help you explore a city, have some fun and get the most out of a day out.
Take Your Time or Race Ahead: We have an opt-in competitive element to our games. That means that if you answer the clues in record time, submit the best photo or take part in any of our other challenges, your team will be in with the chance to win fun prizes.
However, these are totally optional and if you want to take your time exploring the sights or nipping into cosy shops, rest stops or attractions along the way, by all means do!
Stop and Smell The Roses: We want you to experience the best of Brisbane. That’s why we recommend pubs, cafes and bars that you can use as rest stops along the way if you want to. If you’re raring to go or have other commitments in mind, that’s fine too. You’re welcome to pause the game at any point and resume it when you’re ready.
Timings Are In Your Hands: Babysitter or train cancelled? No problem! Our games can be played at any time, although we do recommend playing during daylight hours (it’s hard to spot clues in the dark and your safety is a priority for us).
All you need is a phone, comfy shoes and a sense of adventure: really, that’s it. If you have a good bunch of people around you, all the better.
How Our Treasure Hunt in Brisbane Works
Our treasure hunt in Brisbane is self-guided and designed to show you the good stuff, cut out the boring stuff, and get you interacting with your surroundings.
How do we do that?
Well, we put the activity back in your hands. We curate our trails so they take you around a city’s most interesting streets, landmarks, history, and introduce you to its famous figures. The only catch is - it’s up to you to solve our puzzles, riddles and clues to take you from each one to the next!
Look up, look down, look left, look right!
We don’t support littering, so we haven’t left any physical objects anywhere for you to find. Instead, we’ve made use of existing buildings, curious city quirks, sculptures, pieces of street art and even street furniture as clues.
We’ve found this to be the best way to ensure that our clues stay put (wouldn’t be a treasure hunt if somebody walked off with the clues, would it?!).
