Secrets of Algeciras Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour

Secrets of Algeciras starts on the Plaza Alta and turns the streets around it into a self-guided walking tour. From that square your team follows a trail of questions through the lanes, along the facades and across the smaller plazas nearby. Each answer adds something to what you know about this corner of Algeciras. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Algeciras, with something to find at every stop.

The game is for friends, couples, families and colleagues who prefer being outside to sitting down. One ticket covers a team of one to four people on a single phone, so larger groups split into teams and buy a ticket for each. Solo play works too. There is no guide and no fixed departure time, which is useful in a port town where the light and the heat change the day.

How to play

Getting under way on the Plaza Alta takes a moment:

1. Book the Exploration Game
2. Check the instructions email
3. Download the Loquiz app
4. Start playing whenever you like

The tasks combine riddles, observation questions and photo assignments that only make sense in the right spot. You will be reading tilework, doorways, signs and street corners, and the game fills in facts and stories about the people who have passed through Algeciras and the way the town faces the strait.

Playing with more than one team turns the walk into a contest, with points for each answer and a leaderboard at the end. That makes it a practical choice for a team outing as well as for a day out. You can break off for a drink and pick the route up again later, finishing where your walk began.
