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 walk a 2.5 km loop from Sants Station past his mosaic by La Rambla, Casa Joan Miró and the park with Women and Bird, solving a treasure hunt in about two hours. Visitors who already know the centre also get Sant Antoni market, Teatro Goya and the Arenas. If you want his paintings indoors or a guide to question, a museum visit suits you better.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see Joan Miró's work in Barcelona on this walk?
The route passes the Joan Miró mosaic near the Mercat de la Boqueria and La Rambla, stops at Casa Joan Miró, and finishes at Joan Miró park with the Women and Bird sculpture before returning to Sants Station. The game tells the story of each place as you go.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts and ends at Sants Station, so it works as a loop. In between you head along Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes towards La Rambla and Plaça Universitat, then back through Sant Antoni and past Arenas de Barcelona to the park near the station.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan on about two hours to cover roughly 2.5 km, including time to read the stories and solve the puzzles at each stop. You can pause the game whenever you like, for a coffee at a market for example, and continue later from where you stopped.
Do I need a museum or attraction ticket?
No attraction tickets are needed. The quest is built around Miró's public works and the streets around them, so everything is seen from outside, and you start whenever suits you without booking a time slot. One ticket covers your whole group, each player on their own phone.
When is the best time to play?
Weekdays during working hours are recommended, as La Rambla and the Boqueria market get very crowded at other times. The whole route is outdoors, so check the weather and bring a layer or umbrella if rain is expected.
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.
