Overview

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played outdoors, in the real world. You will explore Santiago de Compostela across 12 iconic locations while following a mystery story of a boy who lost his memory. At each location, you'll be solving a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on various elements such as monuments, graffiti, and facades. The game is mainly focused around the Old Town area of Santiago de Compostela and includes the most important sights and many local legends and historical facts that simply cannot be found in a guidebook or a browser search.

Starting from Praza do Obradoiro, the stops are spaced an average of around 250m apart, with each location taking around 10 min to complete. The route also passes through Statue of King Alfonso II of Asturias, Praza de Cervantes, the Cathedral and Palace of Fonseca.

DISCLAIMER: You will explore by yourself using the Questo app on your phone. No physical guide and no strangers will be involved. The full route covers approximately 2.7 km and takes around 1h 58min to complete. You can play it any day, at any time. Languages available: EN, DE, ES, FR.
