Scavenger Hunts: What to Look For

The Western Suburbs listing under scavenger hunts is Adelaide Gaol Tours at Thebarton, which runs guided tours of the old Gaol rather than a clue-based hunt. Volunteer guides from the preservation society lead every tour, and profits go to the buildings' upkeep.

Tour styles for a work or club group:

Group History Tours for 10 or more last about 90 minutes and suit all ages.
History tours can add morning or afternoon tea or a talk on a chosen topic.
The torch-lit Ghost Tour takes up to 20 through the Sally Port, remand cells, Hanging Tower and Murderer's Row.
Murder and Mayhem focuses on the darker characters.
Paranormal Investigations run around four hours for a maximum of 12.

Tours start from $30 per person.

The Gaol held prisoners from 1841 until it closed in 1988.
The society has guided visitors since 1989.
It is a volunteer-run not-for-profit licensed to tour the heritage site.
45 hangings took place there, and many of those executed are buried inside the walls.

What a corporate group should know at Thebarton

Ghost and Murder and Mayhem tours carry explicit adult material; under-16s must be with an adult and pay full price.
The Twilight Tour keeps ghost content mild.
Larger numbers are arranged directly with the society.
Ask whether a tour can be shaped into a team challenge, as no hunt format is listed.
