Niemeyer curves, modern art and deep green shade — Ibirapuera Park is São Paulo at play.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through São Paulo on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Circle the Auditório Ibirapuera, Oscar Niemeyer's bold red-tongued landmark
• Explore the stories of the Museu Afro Brasil and its powerful collection
• Pass the MAM, the modern art museum tucked beneath the park's marquee

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

The city's favourite park, turned into a game board.

What to expect

Starting at Praça Armando de Sales Oliveira in Vila Mariana, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head into Ibirapuera's greenery. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Auditório Ibirapuera appears first: Niemeyer's white wedge with its scarlet canopy. Riddles explore how the architect shaped the park for São Paulo's 400th birthday.

At the Museu Afro Brasil, trivia honours a collection spanning five centuries of Afro-Brazilian art, memory and resistance.

Then comes the MAM, the modern art museum sheltered under the park's sweeping marquee, with sculpture-garden clues on the side.

Two relaxed hours cover it, with plenty of shade for thinking. The final ranking decides who owns Ibirapuera — at least until sunset.
