Development
Misadventure in Little Lon is the first independent game venture by Melbourne animation studio 10tickles Animation & Design. Co-owners Andy Yong and Emma Ramsay a husband and wife team, taking their experience with commercial augmented reality projects, they decided to develop a mobile app incorporating their fondness for Melbourne and true crime.

History consultant Micheal Shelford has researched extensively into what life was like in Little Lonsdales street back in 1900s. For more that a decade of reading pages stored at the public record office of Victoria, he has brought to light notorious characters and funds his research by taking walking tours.

The first game idea in the series was submitted to receive grants funding from City of Melbourne and Film Victoria, after quick rounds of reviews, the app/game was approved for support and soon after the recipients started development in late 2017.
