Frequently asked questions
Does the route pass the Kiss of Freedom in Barcelona?
Yes. The Kiss of Freedom is one of the stops, reached in the Gothic Quarter after the Cathedral of Barcelona and just before the Bishop's Bridge. The app tells you the story of each place and sets a puzzle based on what you see there.
Is this a romantic walking tour of Barcelona without a guide?
It is a self-guided romantic walk played on your phone. The app leads you from place to place through Ciutadella and the Gothic Quarter, with a love story and puzzles along the way. There is no guide and no group to join, so you can start any time.
Where does it start and finish?
It starts at Arc de Triomf and finishes at Plaça Reial, so it is not a loop. Along the way you pass the Cascada Monumental, the Born Cultural Centre, the Picasso Museum, the Cathedral, the City Hall and the Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take about 3.5 hours, walking and puzzles included, covering around 4 km. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a coffee or a meal, and continue later from where you left off. It is best played during the day, not at night.
Can we play as a group, and is it fine for kids?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the same route. The quest is tagged kid friendly, so children who enjoy clues and can manage a 4 km daytime walk can join in alongside the adults.
Is Romantic Barcelona designed for couples?
Yes. It is a story-led city game for couples and close companions, using the Gothic Quarter, Parc de la Ciutadella, the Kiss of Freedom and Plaça Reial as part of a shared adventure.
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.
