About this quest
Step into the legend of The Lost Conquistador’s Treasure, an escape-game walking tour through Panama City’s Casco Viejo.
Guided by the burned pages of a conquistador’s diary, you’ll chase ten hidden seals across plazas, churches, ruins, and sea walls. Each landmark reveals a fragment of the expedition’s fate, leading you closer to Alvarán’s long-lost trove.

Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples and families staying in or near Casco Viejo who like puzzles will enjoy chasing ten seals from Plaza Herrera to Plaza de Francia, past churches, ruins and the sea wall. The conquistador treasure story and medium-difficulty puzzles fill about 80 minutes over 1.6 km. Anyone hoping for a live guide to quiz on Panama's history, or an indoor plan for the midday heat, should choose something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a treasure hunt in Panama City's old town?
Yes. This is an escape-game style walk through Casco Viejo. Guided by the burned pages of a conquistador's diary, you search for ten hidden seals across plazas, churches, ruins and sea walls, and each landmark reveals part of the expedition's fate and leads you toward Alvarán's lost trove.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Plaza Herrera and finishes at Plaza de Francia, so it does not return to the start. In between you pass Iglesia de la Merced, the Church of Saint Joseph, Plaza de la Independencia, Casa Góngora, Plaza Bolivar, the National Theatre, Arco Chato and the Paseo Esteban Huertas sea wall.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Most players take about 80 minutes, walking and puzzles included. The route covers around 1.6 km through Casco Viejo. You can start whenever you like, with no group to join and no time slot to book, and you can pause and continue later if you need a break.
Is it good for kids, and can we play as a group?
It is tagged family friendly and also works well for couples. The puzzles are medium difficulty and solved in the real world, so school-age children who enjoy riddles will get the most out of it. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route.
What should we bring for the walk?
The whole route is outdoors in Casco Viejo, so wear a hat and sunscreen and carry enough water. The game runs on your phone, so make sure it is fully charged before you start or bring a power bank along.
