A little clarity before you go

Frequently asked questions

Where does the treasure hunt start and finish?
It starts and finishes at Plaza de las Flores, so the 1.7 km route is a loop. In between, it leads you through the plazas and passages of the Casco Antiguo, including Plaza del Reloj, Plaza Begines and Plaza Doctor Arce.
Does the route pass Plaza del Reloj in Estepona?
Yes. Plaza del Reloj is the third stop, reached after Plaza de las Flores and Plaza Augusto Suárez and followed by Plaza Begines. The app guides you from stop to stop, so you do not need a separate map to find it.
How long does it take?
Most players take around 70 minutes, including the walking and the puzzles, over a distance of about 1.7 km. You can pause the game at any point and continue later if the children need a break.
What age is it suitable for?
It works best for children of about 5 to 10. They play as a dragon who lost its fire in a big sneeze and collect 10 magic bricks to build a tower, solving riddles and observation challenges. The game plays in English, Spanish and French.
Can we play as a family group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together. There is no time slot to book and no guide to meet, so you start whenever you like. The route is open 24/7, but it is better played during daylight hours.
How can I explore Estepona’s street art in a playful way?

Trade a standard walking tour for a creative game. The Magic Blocks turns murals and flower-filled lanes into living puzzles. Each clue you solve unlocks another splash of colour and a hidden corner of town.

I’m planning a surprise date—what makes this special for two?

Start with a late-afternoon coffee on the seafront, then wander through narrow alleys hand-in-hand, cracking clues together. The mix of art, mystery and soft evening light feels intimate and different from a regular dinner date.

Could this be fun for a mum with curious kids?

Yes. Kids love spotting whimsical paintings and chasing after the next clue. The route is safe, flat, and packed with easy snack stops. It’s like a giant, open-air storybook you read by walking.
