Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with children of about 6 to 12 who love pirates, and playful couples or friends, will chase clues through the old centre past the cathedral, Casa de Colón and Teatro Pérez Galdós, linked by a fantasy tale with a touch of magic. It plays in English or Spanish. If you want documented history and a live guide to question, this light-hearted treasure hunt is not the one.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
You're sitting in a beautiful square in Las Palmas and notice one of the tiles beneath your feet is moving. Intrigued, you lift it and, to your great surprise and excitement, you find a rusty chest containing a treasure map.
It's none other than the map of Ali the Canary, the most famous pirate of the 17th century! He was born in this city, and that's why he's hidden his most valuable treasure in Las Palmas.
To find it, you must overcome trials, riddles, and traps that only a great adventurer can triumph over. Are you ready for it?

Frequently asked questions
How does the game work?
It is a treasure hunt style exploration game played on your phone. A fantasy tale with a little magic leads you from stop to stop through Las Palmas city centre, with audio stories and clues to solve at places such as the Museo Canario, the Catedral de Santa Ana and the Gabinete Literario.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The walk starts and finishes at Plaza de las Ranas, so you end where you began. It covers about 1.7 km and takes around an hour, visiting nine stops including the Casas Consistoriales, CAAM, Mercado de Vegueta and Casa Museo Pérez Galdós before looping back.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged family friendly and written for adventurous children as well as free-spirited adults. Children of roughly 6 to 12 who enjoy pirates and secret maps usually get the most from chasing the clues, while younger ones will need an adult to listen and solve alongside them.
Can we play it in Spanish?
Yes. The quest is available in both English and Spanish, so you can choose the language that suits your group. The audio stories and clues follow the same route through the city centre in either language.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
There is no set start time, so you can begin whenever suits you. Once downloaded you can pause and resume as you like, and play it again as many times as you want, which helps if you are fitting it around a cruise stop or a beach day.
Who is the Las Palmas pirate quest for?
The playful story suits free-spirited adults, adventurous children and anyone who enjoys a clue-led treasure hunt. A fantasy tale and secret-map theme connect the city-centre exploration.
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.
