About this tour
Navigate Barcelona's medieval core on foot with nothing but a treasure map, cryptic clues and period props to guide you. Over two hours, your team of 2–5 decodes historical riddles woven through a 3km loop, unearthing stories of secret societies and lost artefacts tucked into the city's architecture. No screens, no app—just your wits against the city's mysteries.

What to expect
You'll receive a backpack containing your toolkit: a hand-drawn treasure map, old books, locked boxes requiring lateral thinking, and a lending phone for occasional hints. Your team spreads across Barcelona's narrow medieval streets, stopping at specific landmarks to interpret clues carved into the environment or embedded in your props. Expect to puzzle through historical layers—deciphering which society hid what treasure, when, and why. It's cerebral rather than athletic; pram-friendly routes exist throughout. Two hours passes quickly; groups either race or savour the stories.
Good to know
Strollers and buggies navigate the route. Service animals welcome. Public transport nearby if you need breaks. Suits any fitness level. Teams of 2–5 work best; larger groups split to maintain engagement and competition.
