Tarot-themed scavenger hunt comes to Royal Mile

Fringe-goers will have the chance to take part in a Tarot-inspired scavenger hunt on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in the last weekend of the Fringe

The event promotes The Aquatic Melody, a contemporary Chinese musical being staged at theSpace @ Surgeon’s Hall from 21–23 August, 9.40pm.

Starting outside the Fringe Shop on the High Street between 4pm and 7pm each afternoon ahead of the shows, players will meet costumed characters, complete mini-games, and collect Tarot cards before facing the final “Fool’s Challenge.”

Successful participants can win prizes, with extra rewards available for those who share photos online using #TheAquaticMelody and #EdinburghFringeFestival.

The 40-minute show blends Hong Kong pop, Japanese city-pop, Latin rhythms and modern choreography, telling the story of a mermaid’s dark romance through magical realism.
