City of PAE Christmas Trail
Join Crispy Shawn the Christmas Prawn and all his friends for the 2025 PAE Christmas Trail.
This year you can step into a world of colour, character and cracking good jokes to celebrate the silly season with a playful, interactive, augmented reality trail.
Think technology like Pokémon Go but the creativity and imagination of artist Luku Kuku creating characters and stories especially for us in PAE!
How It Works
At nine locations across PAE you’ll discover a stack of GIANT presents, visit each location from 7 December to 25 January to discover seven different characters – each one a playful nod to the unique ways we celebrate in PAE.
Each present uses Augmented Reality (AR), all you need to do is scan the QR code located on the giant presents with your apple or android phone to reveal a character, grab its special code letter and enjoy a fun and interactive laugh with your new best mate. Find all seven characters and their code letters across PAE, to spell out a code word. Once you’ve got the code word, visit your local library and let the friendly library team know the word and they’ll give you a prize to commemorate your adventure across PAE.
Whether you’re up for a one-day treasure hunt, a trek across PAE, or you visit your local site weekly, we’ll make sure all nine locations rotate through the characters, so everyone in PAE can meet the full cast of characters, discover the code word and play along.
The PAE Christmas trail is a fun way to celebrate and make memories together – begin your adventure today!
Please note lighting conditions and time of day may affect your AR experience. For best results, visit during daylight hours.
