This game gets Aussies who are sick of going to the same places to find new places to explore
You can use all our Getting Lost Games in Australia (or anywhere around the world), but we reckoned you may like one that's made especially for Australia.
The Aussie Edition has all our favourite Getting Lost misdirection cards from our Adventurers Edition that you need to get you finding new places in your backyard (things like turn left, follow a blue car, head in the direction the wind is blowing) plus we’ve put in some extra, uniquely Aussie misdirections featuring koalas, billabongs, thongs, skinny lattes and tinnies.

Each kit contains 30 “misdirection cards” which give you random directions to find new places. You'll find the hidden gems that don't always show up in the trip guides and support local businesses on your way. You'll find yourself enjoying the journey as much as the destination and all having a laugh together as you navigate using our generic misdirection cards. Wondering what kind of adventure you may have? Check out 9 year old Hunter's adventure with his family around NSW with the Aussie Edition as his guide.
Please note, this is a family friendly, largely direction based version and doesn't have the same cards as the Girls Road Trip - if you are looking for an 18+ activity and direction based game to play with the girls choose this one - it too can be used all around the world.
Our cover art for the Aussie Edition is done by 14 year old Aussie artist Benji Gladman.
As with all our games we rely on landmarks like roads, signs and shops to guide you. We do not recommend that this game (or any of our games) are played in very remote areas where you are unlike to find these things.
We'd like to thank our epic Getting Lost community (and special thanks to Sarah, Janie, Nesbitt, Shelley, Cheryl, Amy and Alison) to create some uniquely Aussie directions with things like koalas, billabongs, thongs, skinny lattes, tinnies and eucalyptus trees featuring in this special edition.
Our cards measures 91mm x 55mm. They have misdirection cards on one side and NZ and Australian locations (known as our inspiration cards) on the other side. All these locations can be found on our blog so its perfect for a little holiday inspiration and dreaming.
Want to customise your game? You can add one of our suitcases in your favourite colour. Our suitcases fit 45 cards and are great for combining packs and taking them out and about.
Please remember to play the game responsibly and make sure that you stay safe and able to get yourself back home at all times. If you have any other questions please e-mail us at cat@gettinglost.co.nz
We launched our New Year by Getting Lost. It was perfect. So much giggling and for a whole morning the kids didn’t fight. From finding swings to singing like the Von Traps we had an awesome morning. And ended up in a little town (went in the direction that the wind was blowing to a town that started with the same letter as the youngest player) that we would never have visited otherwise.
We had a fun day out but my husband kept changing the order of the cards to suit himself while I was driving. He said there were to many turn right cards so we would have gone around in circles. I'll have to try it again one day
Far too few cards and not very interesting content for the price of the product. Very disappointed.
Thanks for the review and feedback Alison. We get that it's not for everyone and you are welcome to return to us for a refund.
We've never had a bad review from someone who's actually played the game so I do suggest giving it a try and seeing if you still feel the same way. I can also see that you've bought both the Aussie and Adventurers Edition are essentially the same game and are just directions so you may want to swap to our Road Trip Edition that has more 'imaginative' directions and activities. Refund or exchange just let us know and we're happy to help you out.
We love using these cards whether we only have an hour or the whole day, they lead you on some really crazy trips that always end with us enjoying the family time together.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review. Here's to many more adventures!
Package came sooner than I thought and in good condition. I have had a look at the cards and yes I am sure my wife and I will have a number of great adventures using the cards.
Thanks so much for the review! Happy adventuring.
