Overview
If you're looking for a great excuse to get back out and explore the city, here it is: Xplore Melbourne is a free self-guided, augmented reality scavenger hunt that's kicked off this week, inviting you to rekindle your love of moseying around the CBD.
Running now until January 2022, the experience will see you scanning QR codes and tracking down clues at ten locations throughout the city, to unlock various artworks, musical treats, giveaways and other fun treasures.
With a flick of your smartphone, you'll be able to bring to life the vibrant works you encounter, by artists like Adnate, Meggs, Dvate and Kit Bennett. AR-fuelled performances featuring the likes of Cry Baby, Srisha, KrookLetter and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are also waiting to be unearthed along your journey.
Along with the creative treasures, Xplore also offers the chance to collect some sweet giveaways and prizes as you go, including high tea at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, Docklands staycations, jewellery, NGV double passes, Collins 234 gift cards and more.
