Real streets.
Playable stories.
City Fable turns Australian city streets into self-guided mystery trails. Walk to real locations, unlock story chapters on your phone, and solve the case together - no tickets, no guide, no fixed schedule.
What is City Fable?
City Fable is a catalogue of GPS-based outdoor mystery games set in Australian cities. Each trail is a self-contained story with original characters, a real setting, and a crime to solve.
You play on your own phone using the City Fable app. As your team walks to each location on the trail, the app unlocks the next chapter - story beats, clues, and puzzles tied to what is physically around you. The city is the game board.
One licence covers a full team of up to six players. There is no guide to follow, no time slot to book. You start when you are ready and play at your own pace.
