Inked Scavanger Hunt

  • Free
  • Family and kids

These school holidays pick up a free map from Mary Martin Bookshop in Southgate to go on a free scavenger hunt based on the award-winning graphic novel Inked by Karen Wasson and Jake A Minton.

Sid and Otto have travelled all the way from Rone for a Melbourne city adventure! Sid is keen to check out the visual art scene while Otto is only interested in where he might perform opera in front of his adoring audiences. Join Sid and Otto as they look for clues around the Southbank area.

The treasure hunt begins and ends at Mary Martin Bookshop and is aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 12 (although all are welcome to take part). The route takes around 45-minutes to complete

All children who complete the scavenger hunt receive a special Inked badge.
