The experience
About this quest
Enter a city full of secrets...
An old manuscript. A secret society. A forgotten past.
Every discovery pulls you deeper in the mystery, revealing secrets long buried.
Be part of THE Alicante adventure game, hidden within the city's streets. Solve ancient riddles and uncover cryptic messages that The Secret Society of The Light left for you.
But remember: Where the Light guides you, Darkness follows…
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples, friends and families with older children who like riddles will spend about two hours decoding cryptic messages across 1.6 km of Alicante, from The Oracle past the Town Hall to The Basilica. It plays like an outdoor escape game on your phone, with audio stories, rather than a sightseeing tour. If you want a live guide to answer questions, or someone in your group struggles with slopes and uneven ground, choose something else.

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at The Oracle and finishes at The Last Guardian, passing stops such as The Surfing Statue, The Beast of Town Hall, View from Above and The Basilica. The route is a loop of about 1.6 km, so you end up back near where you began.
How long does it take?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The distance is only 1.6 km, but the riddles take time and the terrain is varied with some elevation. You can pause and continue later, so there is no need to rush.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged family friendly and suits older children who enjoy riddles and cryptic clues. Very young children may find the puzzles and the two-hour length hard going. The route is outdoors with varied terrain, so bring a hat, sunscreen and enough water.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together. There is no set time to book: start whenever suits you, and pause and pick up again later if you need a break. Make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a power bank.
