Why explore Seville with a city game

Seville’s cathedral, built on the site of a mosque whose minaret survives as the Giralda, is one of the largest Gothic churches in the world and, with the Alcázar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 13th-century Torre del Oro guarded the river port that grew rich on trade with the Americas, the Royal Tobacco Factory inspired the opera Carmen, and Plaza de España was built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition.

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.

  • From May to September start early in the morning or after 6 pm: Seville’s afternoons are among the hottest in Europe.
  • Start the escape game in daylight; its puzzles rely on details on the façades.
  • Pack a power bank and wear comfortable shoes; the game runs on your phone.
  • Finish with a rowing boat on the Plaza de España canal, or head back to Santa Cruz for tapas after the hunt.
