Exploring with the game and clues

Ruth_R, May 2025

We wanted to do something a little bit different than just a regular tour so this was a cute little game tour that fit the need. As we reached each checkpoint we were given some interesting information about it as well as had to solve a clue. It was just a different way to explore the city. There was only one spot that we had a little bit of difficulty but that was because the whole square was under construction and it changed how the clue would be answered.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for playing Ghosts of Madrid and sharing your thoughts! We’re glad you enjoyed the puzzle-style tour and have updated the clue in the construction zone for smoother solving. Hope to see you again for another adventure in Madrid!
