The experience

About this quest

The game will focus on a treasure hunt based on Joan Miró, the famous Catalan painter and sculptor. 

The player will be in a race against time to recover the legacy of this artist, whilst learning a lot of interesting things – not only about the artist but also about the city. 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Art lovers and Miró fans can trace the painter across the city in a race-against-time treasure hunt, from Women and Bird in Joan Miró park to his mosaic past the Boqueria. Couples and friends get close to two hours of street-level puzzles over 2.5 km. If you would rather study his paintings indoors with a guide to ask, a museum visit suits you better.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see Joan Miró's work in Barcelona on this walk?
The route takes you to Miró's Women and Bird sculpture in Joan Miró park, past Casa Joan Miró, and finishes at the Joan Miró mosaic after La Rambla and the Boqueria market. Along the way the story also covers the city itself, at places such as Arenas de Barcelona and Mercat de Sant Antoni.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Sants Station and finishes at the Joan Miró mosaic, the last stop after La Rambla and Mercat de la Boqueria. It is a one-way route of about 2.5 km, passing Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Sant Antoni, Teatro Goya and Plaça Universitat on the way.
How long does it take, and do we need to book a time?
Plan on close to two hours, walking and puzzles included. There is no set start time and no guide to meet, so you can begin whenever suits you. You can also pause, take a break near Mercat de Sant Antoni, and continue later.
Do we need tickets for any attractions or museums?
No attraction tickets are required. The game is played in the streets, using public works, buildings and markets along the route. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so friends or a couple can solve the puzzles side by side on the walk.
When is the best time to play?
Weekdays during working hours are best if you want to avoid large crowds, which matters most on La Rambla and around the Boqueria near the finish. The quest is played outdoors, so dress for the weather and bring water for the 2.5 km walk.
How does Joan Miró connect to this Barcelona quest?
The fictional mission is built around recovering Miró’s legacy. As you follow the treasure hunt, the game uses the artist and Barcelona as its cultural starting point.
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?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
