Barcelona, Spain

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 3 more

Roman walls, Gothic shadows and a bridge that isn't what it seems — the Barri Gòtic keeps its secrets close.

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

• Face the Catedral de Barcelona and its cloister of thirteen geese
• Look up at the Pont del Bisbe, the neo-Gothic bridge with a hidden skull
• Dive into the Mercado de la Boqueria, Barcelona's riot of colour and flavour

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

Two thousand years of city, one afternoon of clues.

What to expect

Starting at Plaça de l'Àngel in the Ciutat Vella, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and vanish into the Gothic maze. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Catedral de Barcelona rises first, gargoyles and all — and riddles want to know why exactly thirteen white geese live in its cloister.

Then the Pont del Bisbe arches photogenically over Carrer del Bisbe. Trivia reveals it's younger than it looks, and darker too: find the skull and dagger hidden in the stonework.

The Mercado de la Boqueria ends the route in full colour — fruit pyramids, jamón curtains and juice stands begging for a break.

Around two hours in Europe's densest historic quarter. The leaderboard crowns the Gothic champion.
