What to expect
The Explorial app supplies clues and riddles; crack each one to learn where to walk next. You'll weave through Madrid's centre, ticking off recognisable monuments alongside tucked-away plazas and local spots most visitors skip. Expect roughly two hours of ground-covering, though you can linger at any point without losing the plot. The puzzles aren't taxing—they're designed to engage curiosity rather than stump you—and the app provides hints if you're stuck.
Good to know
Bring a fully charged phone and comfortable walking shoes. Public transport nearby offers shortcuts if fatigue sets in. The experience suits all fitness levels, though those with spinal issues or pregnancy should skip this. Service animals are welcome.
