FRIDA CROUTON'S FINAL COURSE
An Interactive Dining Experience
DIFFICULTY: 
NORTHCOTE VIC
Following the death of the famous chef Frida Crouton, you have been summoned to her final dinner. Yet this is no ordinary wake! Frida’s estate is to be divided between you and her other heirs… however nothing will be given freely.
Across three courses, you must solve cleverly integrated puzzles hidden within the food, drinks, and environment itself — earning each dish, unlocking each clue, and ultimately competing for your share of the inheritance.
Designed over three years, this is one of the world’s first fully integrated puzzle dining experiences — where every bite, every detail, and every decision matters.
