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.

The mission: Your story in Barcelona
You are T. F. Specter, the famous writer, specialised in mystery and ghost stories.
You haven’t written anything since your last bestseller, more than a year ago. You feel blocked, so you decide to take a trip to Barcelona to find some inspiration.
According to urban legend, there is a “ghost path” in the Gothic Quarter, full of mysterious and restless spirits. Intrigued, you decide to look for them, despite the possible danger. If you survive, you’re sure that you’ll write the best book ever...
