If you have purchased a Mystery Adventures Experience, you can request:

A refund of any self-guided experience (excluding experiences with accommodation) up until 3 business days (excluding public holidays) before your experience date.
A refund for any self-guided experience with accommodation up until 7 business days before your experience date.
A partial refund for any guided experience up until 7-business days before your experience date. If an initial deposit has been made, the deposit is non-refundable, regardless of when you cancel.

Any requests for refunds after the above times will not be refunded or only partially refunded due to service and supplier costs already incurred.

You cannot receive a refund if you have booked a Mystery Adventures Experience using a Gift Card. Instead, you will receive a Mystery Adventures Account Credit which can be used until the expiry of the original date of your existing Gift Card.

If Mystery Adventures cancel your Mystery Adventures Experience, you can opt to receive a refund (providing the original experience was not booked with a Gift Card) or receive a Mystery Adventures Account Credit. If you select a Mystery Adventures Account Credit, you only have 14-days after this period to request a refund instead. After the elapse of 14-days, no change of mind will be granted, and your Mystery Adventures Account Credit will remain.

Refunds of Gift Cards:

If you have purchased a Gift Card, you can request a refund within 24 hours of the initial purchase. After the elapse of 24 hours, no refunds will be granted for change of mind.

Guarantees and Warranties Required By Law:

The Change of Mind policy above includes your rights under Australian Consumer Law regarding guarantees and warranties for our products and services, which cannot be excluded by law.

You should contact Mystery Adventures with any issues with a Mystery Adventures Experience. Upon receiving your query, Mystery Adventures will endeavor to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. However, if we cannot resolve your issue, we will provide a remedy per your statutory consumer guarantee rights and terms and conditions. You will be entitled to a refund per your statutory consumer guarantee rights if there is a significant failure of due skill and care with your Mystery Adventures Experience or if the experience is not found fit for the purpose described at the point of sale.
