About this tour
Hunt for a hidden fortune through Barcelona's medieval quarter with nothing but a briefcase of clues and an old-school map. This offline escape game takes your group on a 2–2.5 hour puzzle trail past the Picasso Museum, Santa Maria del Mar, and Mercat del Born in El Born. No apps, no phones—just teamwork, lateral thinking, and the thrill of cracking codes on foot. You control the pace, so pause for coffee or browsing when you like.

What to expect
You'll collect a briefcase at the start, then use a printed map to guide yourselves between puzzle stations scattered across El Born's cobbled streets. Each stop presents a different type of challenge—logic puzzles, ciphers, spatial riddles—that unlock the next location. The beauty is you're free to dawdle: grab a cortado at a plaza, browse a vintage boutique, then pick up where you left off. The clock allows 2.5 hours; most finish in 90 minutes. Teams of six or fewer stay unified; beyond that, you can split into competing squads racing toward the same safe. It's genuinely old-school fun—no battery anxiety, no screen fatigue, just your brains against the puzzle.
