Perguntas frequentes

What’s a fresh and fun thing to do in Madrid with toddlers?

Walk through Retiro Park, check out street artists around Puerta del Sol, and try one of the easy Questo games made for kids—lots of bright clues and no scary stuff. You control the pace, so stop for ice cream whenever.

Is there a mystery or detective quest in Madrid I can play tonight?

Yes. There are quests in the historic centre that let you chase clues through alleys, historic buildings, and plazas. Great if you want something spontaneous and different this evening.

Want a memorable date idea in Madrid?

Try a twilight walk in La Latina or Malasaña, then dive into a story quest with the city lights as your backdrop. Solving puzzles together, stopping for tapas—you’ll remember the laughs and surprises.

Are these games good for groups of friends or coworkers?

Definitely. Split into teams, compare who solves clues first, explore hidden corners you wouldn’t go solo. It’s way more fun than just dinner or standard sightseeing.

Will I see Madrid’s major landmarks or mostly hidden spots?

Both. Some quests lead you through iconic places like the Royal Palace or Catedral Almudena, others take you through off-beat alleys, murals, and quiet plazas locals love but visitors often miss.
