Why explore Spain with a self-guided city game

A self-guided city game lets you explore a Spanish city on your own timetable, without a guide or a booked slot. You book online, enter the booking reference in the World City Trail app and start when you are ready. Stop for tapas and carry on later; the ticket has no time limit.

The scavenger hunt makes you look closely. At each stop a riddle sends you searching for a detail on a façade, fountain or bridge, solved by observation and logic, no prior knowledge needed. Then come the stories and local legends, with audio narration and tips for local food. It suits families, couples, friends and team outings.

The outdoor escape game hides a puzzle at every attraction, with up to three hint levels, for friends and team building. The audio walking tour simply tells the stories. No entry tickets are needed: every stop is seen from outside.

  • In summer, start in the morning or late afternoon; the midday heat in Seville, Granada or Madrid can be intense.
  • Start the escape game in daylight: the puzzles depend on details you need to see.
  • Book one ticket per player so everyone can follow on their own phone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best city in Spain for a scavenger hunt?

For a first visit, Madrid or Barcelona: each links the main sights in a 3-hour walk. Toledo packs three cultures into 2.9 km, Seville suits sunny Andalusia, and Palma is the pick on a Mallorca holiday.

Can I do a scavenger hunt in Spain with kids?

Yes. The riddles are solved by looking and thinking, not by knowing history, so children can join in. Choose a short route such as Tarragona (2.4 km), Granada or Málaga (2.5 km each) and take breaks whenever you like.

Do I need to book a time slot?

No. There is no fixed start time and no guide to meet. Your booking reference arrives by email straight away; enter it in the World City Trail app and start on the day and at the hour you choose.

Which languages are the Spain games in?

All Spanish games are available in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish, and all except San Sebastián also in Dutch. The Barcelona and Toledo games are also in Portuguese. You choose the language in the app.

Can I play more than one city with the same app?

Yes. One World City Trail app works for every city; you simply enter a new booking reference for each game. Your personal Trail Map collects every city you finish and the kilometres you walked.

Is a self-guided tour better than a guided tour in Spain?

A self-guided tour gives you more freedom: you start when you like, avoid the hottest hours, stop for lunch and change the order of the stops. The scavenger hunt adds a riddle at each stop, which keeps children and teenagers interested.
