Will you take up the challenge and see if you can solve the nuggets of clues left along the way? A 3-KM route awaits with clues planted along the streets of Sydney’s Chinatown, famed for delicious Yum Cha brunches, cream puffs, fruit and vegetable markets to curio, fashion and jewellery shops. Streets named Hay, Dixon, Sussex, Goulburn make up the boundaries of this 100-year-old gem of a district. A part of the AFT International Sports Fitness Festival, the walk takes place on Saturday 21 September 2024 in collaboration with City of Sydney’s Sydney Streets Haymarket where selected streets of Sydney’s Chinatown will be closed off to traffic for a “bloc party”!

What can you expect from the Move8 VR Walk-a-Hunt?

1. Walk in-person and unravel the clues and missions on-site in Sydney’s Chinatown, or
