THE GAME

A Treasure Hunt Built for Teams

Participants work together to solve a sequence of clues and complete humorous challenges that unlock the next location—every solved riddle pushes the team closer to the final prize.

THE CITY

Historic Sights as Puzzle Backdrops

The route threads through Sevilla’s city center so teams repeatedly encounter emblematic monuments and are asked to identify images, answer trivia and take photos of landmarks as part of the game.

THE FORMAT

Clues, Chats and Photo Challenges

Clues and tasks are delivered during the outing and monitored staff communicate with teams via a messaging app; challenges range from mini-puzzles and trivia to light physical or silly photo tasks.

Over roughly two and a half hours you’ll move through the city center in a fast, playful rhythm: receive a clue, collaborate to decode it, complete the assigned challenge (sometimes intellectual, sometimes physical), then sprint—or stroll—to the next point while collecting photos and answers that narrate Sevilla’s history.
