Family Event: The Thylacine Diaries

Can you solve The Thylacine Diaries?

Discover the story of the extinct Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian Tiger, how it became extinct, and how this story has shaped the way humans protect other species to this day.

See if you can finish our new treasure hunt and immersive adventure for the Grant Museum. Inspired by escape rooms and scavenger trails, search the museum for hints and clues to see what is inside our conservationists' safe.

Approximate time taken to finish the game: 20-40 minutes.
