The Mystery of the Colonel's Ghost

Re-discover Adelaide and find the hidden message Colonel William Light designed into his city

“The Mystery of the Colonel’s Ghost” is a historic urban game with the design of the city of Adelaide at its base. The game revolves around the first Surveyor-General of South Australia, Colonel William Light and his vision to design a city.

So, come on a treasure hunt through the streets of Adelaide where solving puzzles will lead you to a hidden message that Light ‘designed’ into Adelaide. The game will not only let you explore the history of Adelaide, but you will rediscover the city you may already know from a very different perspective.

GETTING STARTED

• Before you begin download the treasure map and print it (optional).
• Remove the decoder tool from the left side of the map.
• Ensure your phone is charged up and location services are on.

HOW TO PLAY

Use your phone, map and decoder to solve puzzles and earn symbols at the places you visit. Collect 5 sets of symbols and draw them in the table on the map. Each symbol must be selected from the symbol list below the map. At the last location a clue will be given to help you use the symbols to find Light's secret message!
