The Valencia scavenger hunt starts at the bullring by the North Station and leads to City Hall, the Central Market and La Lonja de la Seda. Via Plaza de la Virgen you reach the cathedral, then the University of Valencia, Plaza de Alfonso el Magnánimo and the Mercado de Colón, finishing at the Puente de las Flores over the Turia Gardens.

The route covers about 3.5 km, roughly 43 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.

Why explore Valencia with a city game

Valencia’s old town mixes Gothic and modernista Spain. La Lonja de la Seda, the late-Gothic silk exchange, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cathedral keeps a chalice venerated as the Holy Grail, and the Central Market and Mercado de Colón are fine examples of modernista architecture. After the 1957 flood the river Turia was diverted, and its old bed became a long green park crossed by bridges such as the Puente de las Flores.

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.

  • Start in the morning to see the Central Market at its busiest, or in the late afternoon to avoid the summer heat.
  • 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 horchata at the Mercado de Colón, or walk on into the Turia Gardens after the last stop.
