Barcelona, Spain

Your Mission:
Grab a map and sharpen your wits in a race against time. The clock is ticking and in under 120 minutes you have to outsmart the competition and get through the maze-like streets of the Gothic Quarter as you hunt for the hidden treasure. Only the team with the best problem-solving skills and truest sense of direction will succeed and be the first to uncover the treasure chest and break open the bottle of Cava that lies inside.

Your adventure begins in the shadows of the soaring spires of the Cathedral Seu, steps from the city centre where Barcelona was first settled over 2000 year ago.

Each team is armed with a map, a compass, and a set of clues in this “AMAZING RACE” type challenge. Each clue will take you closer to the finish line and the chance to secure the drinking rights to the Cava. How you split your group is entirely up to you. Will it be a battle of the sexes? Family vs Family? Rookies vs Veterans? One thing is sure, victory never tasted this good.

Exciting and educational, this “tour like no other” offers the best way to capture the essence of this great city. You will discover the historical sites, hidden plazas, and beautiful narrow streets of one of the most unique places on the Mediterranean coast.

Rich with history and culture and famous for its stunning architecture, Barcelona will wow even the most jaded of travellers with its old-world beauty and cosmopolitan charm.

Difficulty of Mission:
With 3 different levels of difficulty to choose from, you can decide if the hunt will be of a more friendly nature or a true gauntlet-throwing situation.

Tools:
Each team is equipped with a Treasure hunt kit consisting of a map/compass/clue book as well as the phone number of your mission leader just in case you can’t find you way back to home base.

Geographic Location:
The Gothic Quarter in Barcelona houses many historic sites such as the Cathedral Seu/ Plaza Jaume/Plaza San Felipe Neri/the Roman Columns & more.

Price:

Hey! I tried the treasure hunt and it was amazing! We did a Belgian vs. others countries battle and Belgium won, of course! It was a very good way to discover the city and to have fun at the same time in Barcelona.
Thank you and have fun!
Chloé.

This activity is great! especially in a city like Barcelona it made it look more adventurous & exciting, i felt like i was in an episode of survivor except that this was among the historic buildings and alleys of the Medieval Gothic quarter in Barcelona´s city center! a fun experience indeed!
