Me lo he pasado muy bien con mis amigos. Te hace recorrer el parque desde una perspectiva más divertida y te da datos interesantes por el camino.

Nos costó entender la historia del scape room. Pero ha estado guay. Las pruebas son chulas. Y recorres sitios poco conocidos o visitados del Retiro

Estuvo sencillo. Algo que no nos gustó fue la respuesta de México con J.

The mission: Your story in Madrid

ALERT: Mission Briefing for Aurum Investigation Unit. Your target is the rogue alchemist syndicate, Azogue. They are currently infiltrating Madrid's Retiro Park to unearth the Quintaesentia, a mythical elixir of youth and absolute power hidden centuries ago by the Alchemist of King Felipe IV. 

As our elite field agents, you must deploy immediately. Track their digital footprint, solve the Alchemist’s puzzles, and lock down the vault containing the elixir before Azogue claims it for themselves.
