Secrets of Madrid opens on the Puerta del Sol and turns the streets of the old centre into a self-guided walking tour. The route makes its way to the Plaza Mayor and later to the Congress of Deputies a few streets east. Each stop comes with a short text about the place you have arrived at. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Madrid, with something to find at every stop.
The game is meant for couples, families, groups of friends and colleagues, and works fine for one person. A single ticket covers a team of one to four on one phone; larger groups buy additional tickets and walk as separate teams. No guide goes ahead of you and there is no set departure, so the afternoon in Madrid runs to your own clock.
How to play
From the Puerta del Sol onward the game runs on your phone alone.
- Book the Exploration Game
- Check the instructions email
- Download the Loquiz app
- Start playing whenever you like
Between the points you work through puzzles, riddles and photo tasks that decide the next stretch of the route. Some want a close look at a doorway or a plaque, others a photograph from a particular spot. The Teatro Español is one of the buildings you are brought to, and the game explains what you are looking at.
Several teams playing at once turns it into a competition, with all the scores on one leaderboard afterwards, which is why it is used for team-building. Stop for something to drink and carry on when you like. You finish with a far better sense of how central Madrid is laid out.
