The experience

About this quest

Journey back in time through the mesmerizing streets of Granada, guided by an ancient tome teeming with enigmatic maps and arcane symbols. 

This outdoor escape game sets you on a quest for a legendary golden key, believed to unlock chambers concealed within a palace crafted by regal lineages of yore. Rumors whisper of unimaginable treasures guarded within. 

However, the road to riches is paved with challenges: seek the elusive Astrologer, elude the dread of the evil eye, and navigate the intricate labyrinths leading to the very heart of the regal abode. Will you unearth the secrets that have been shrouded in mystery for centuries?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples, friends and families with older children who enjoy escape rooms will get a puzzle-led walk of about two hours. It covers 3.4 km from Granada Cathedral through the Arabic market, the Albaicin and Paseo de los Tristes, ending at the Alhambra's Puerta del Vino, and plays more like a treasure hunt than a history tour. If you would rather ask a live guide questions, or want something short and indoors, choose another option.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • Explore the Alhambra palace

  • Discover the ancient Moorish neighbourhood of the Albaicin, and the final resting place of the Catholic King and Queen that reclaimed Granada and ended Muslim rule on the Iberian peninsula during the Reconquista.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a self-guided walk through medieval Granada?
Yes. This phone-led game follows a story about a legendary golden key and royal treasure. It takes you past the Cathedral, the burial site of the Catholic Kings, an old Albaicin church and plaza, the Moorish House of the Gold Oven and the Gate of the Pomegranates, with a puzzle at each place.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Granada Cathedral and finishes at Puerta del Vino, inside the Alhambra area. It is not a loop, so you end up across town from where you began. Along the way you pass Café 4 Gatos, a lookout facing the Alhambra, Bridge Espinosa and Plaza Nueva.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers 3.4 km on foot. You can pause the game whenever you like, for example at the tapas bar quarter, and continue later from the same point.
Is it suitable for children?
It suits families with older children who like puzzles and escape rooms. The game involves following clues, reading the story and solving riddles over about two hours of walking, so very young children may lose interest or tire before reaching the Alhambra gates.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers the whole group playing together on one phone. There is no fixed time slot or guide to meet, so you can start whenever you are ready. The game recommends not playing at night, so plan to start in daylight.
What is Medieval Granada: Secrets of Dynasties and Royals?
It is a fictional medieval adventure set among Granada’s historic streets. An ancient book, an astrologer, royal dynasties and a legendary golden key form the puzzle-led story.
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.
