About Our Games

Mystery City Games are a mix between a scavenger hunt, escape room, and a self-guided walking tour.

It’s a bit like the Da Vinci Code or National Treasure – it’s about using clues hidden in the architecture of the city to solve a mystery. You can play competitively, but you can also relax and go your own pace, enjoying shops or cafés along the way.

No app is needed – we think treasure hunts are more fun with real treasure maps, locks, and beautiful pieces. 

In 1856, Barcelona was suffocating inside its medieval walls. An eccentric urbanist Ildefons Cerdà’s design was chosen for the expansion of the city. What secrets has the eccentric architect hidden in his plans? Explore the city and solve puzzles in this outdoor escape game to find out!
'- Meet the Game Master to pick up a backpack containing all the materials you need to play: treasure map, book, and beautiful tools
- Follow an ancient treasure map as you explore the city, discovering unmissable sites and monuments in the town.
- Solve escape room-like puzzles as you explore the city's main attractions and have fun with your friends or family on a holiday, bachelorette party, or weekend away. If you only have one day in town, this is the way to see it!
