The Tenerife scavenger hunt takes place in Santa Cruz, the island’s capital. It starts in García Sanabria Park and leads to Plaza 25 de Julio with its tiled benches, Plaza Weyler and the Teatro Guimerá, then to the African Market and the Church of La Concepción. Via Plaza del Príncipe, Plaza de la Candelaria and Plaza de San Francisco you reach Plaza de España by the port.
The 10 stops cover about 3.5 km, roughly 48 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife grew from a small port founded in 1494 into the island’s capital, and its centre is a relaxed mix of shady squares, colonial churches and lively markets. The Church of La Concepción keeps the cross associated with the town’s founding, the city famously repelled Admiral Nelson’s attack in 1797, and every year it hosts one of the world’s best-known carnivals.
A game makes you look closely at carvings, signs and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories that follow explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a coffee or a snack whenever you like.
The Tenerife scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours: 10 stops and about 48 minutes (3.5 km) of actual walking, the rest is riddles and stories. You can pause at any time and continue later.
