What to expect
You'll spend two-and-a-half hours walking the Born district with a private guide who hands you a bespoke puzzle set and explains the ground rules. From there, your group tackles brain-teasers and hunts for physical clues scattered around real locations tied to Picasso's time there. Each puzzle unlocks the next location; each location reveals fresh enigmas. You'll pass neighbourhood landmarks and quieter spots most tourists miss. The walk totals roughly 4km at a moderate pace, with thinking time built in. Your guide doesn't solve puzzles for you—they keep you on track and validate answers.
