Secret tours will be held across the Sydney CBD this weekend with $10,000 worth of vouchers up for grabs for the first 2,000 people to solve the riddles and unlock the clues.

First 2,000 to solve these riddles get a $5 voucher towards a restaurant. There're 5 different routes, and 43 fun riddles to crack together.

Note that secret city trails normally costs money to participate (from when I clicked on other cities around the world), so there's the added benefit in addition to the $5.

Hopefully a fun family activity! Enjoy!

Update (11 May 21) from @BryRoo:

There's still 1,500 vouchers up for grabs.

Additionally, all trails in Sydney have become free for the next 6 months!

  $5 isn't even enough to buy a coffee in the city let alone pay for their smashed avo on toast lol

  It sounds like quite a fun time though, so I think the real "prize" is while doing the activity

    good to do something different once in a while.

    The real prize is the friends you make on the way.

      my husband was about to go, then we decide to avoid too many single female "make friends".

  More of a competition than a deal

  You need to position this as a free city trail tour that's normally $5, plus added bonus of the competition rather than the other way around

  I'm guessing this is one of those fake "free" things where they pressure you into "donating"?

    AssociatedBryRoo @ Secret City Trails on 01/05/2021 - 09:05

    No tour guides to tip as its self guided ;-)
    The $5 coupon pops up on your phone when you finish the 10-12 riddles of the walk. The Project is Funded by aTransport NSW initiative to bring people back to the CBD and support local businesses. Have fun trying them out!

    I definitely agree with you.

  Have a feeling if you actually know the answers to the riddles, you don’t have to do the walk…

    Yes! You can technically use the website and answer the riddles of the trails from anywhere - I played one of their London trails from my sofa and used google street view to help solve the riddles!

  Thank you! A good way to burn some calories, solve some riddles, and potentially learn about the history of the city. Like an escape room, except your room is the whole city.

  Great way to spend a couple of hours. We did the first 2 trails, and got a hot nutella (free) and chocolate ice-cream (50c) after discounts. From Perth, just passing thru Sydney on our way around Australia, so great timing. Visited some cool places we wouldn't have known about. Would've been a great Ozbargain if it was just the free scavenger hunts around Sydney, the $5 vouchers make it even better!
