The experience
About this quest
Barcelona, dusk. You are T. F. Specter—renowned author of ghost stories, now haunted by writer’s block. In search of inspiration, you wander the shadowy alleys of the Gothic Quarter, where ancient whispers and restless spirits await.
According to local legend, a hidden ghost trail runs through this part of the city. Many have felt it. Few have followed it. Fewer still returned unchanged.
Will you brave the path and uncover the stories waiting in the dark?
This quest invites you on a mysterious walking adventure through one of Barcelona’s oldest neighborhoods. Solve real-world puzzles, follow eerie clues, and explore unforgettable corners of the city. Share the chills with friends or family, and turn fear into memories. Just... don’t lose your pen—or your way.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ghosts of Barcelona quest based on a real ghost trail?
The game uses the Gothic Quarter’s atmospheric alleys and local ghost-story tradition as its setting, but its central hidden-trail narrative and T. F. Specter character are fictional.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
