Witchcraft & Wizardry — POSTPONED

Overview

UPDATE: MARCH 24, 2020 — Due to concerns 'regarding the current Coronavirus outbreak', CluedUpp has postponed all its upcoming events until Friday, April 17 at the earliest. Events after this time will be looked at on a week-by-week basis. We'll be sure to keep you updated on further information. To find out more about the status of COVID-19 in Australia and how to protect yourself, head to the Australian Government Department of Health's website.

If you think you'd be up for a hands-on challenge that's part Sherlock Holmes and part The Boy Who Lived, round up your best sleuthing mates and get ready to put your puzzle-cracking skills to the test. The game maestros at CluedUpp are coming to Melbourne to host their next adventure experience: a self-guided, app-based magical mystery adventure called Witchcraft & Wizardry.

Hitting town on April 11, 2020, this one sees teams of two–six players escaping into a fantasy world, unleashing their wizarding skills, defeating dark magic and helping to "save the realm" by deciphering clues as the puzzle trail leads them all over the city.

To play, you'll need access to a smartphone and, of course, a witty team name — and some banging costumes won't go astray, either. You'll arrive at the game's secret start location between 10am and 1pm on the day of play, then get stuck into following the clues.

Your team will take championship glory if you're the fastest to crack the puzzle, though there are more sweet prizes to be won for categories like 'best fancy dress' and 'best K-9' (yes, it's also dog friendly).

Tickets are just $67 per team.
