The experience

About this quest

Look for clues and solve puzzles to discover the charm of Ciutat Vella: the central district of Valencia, and its historical, cultural, and gastronomic heart. Wander down magnificent streets as you explore Valencia's most famous attractions, and hidden gems that only locals know about!

Along the way, you’ll see cool street art and the biggest food market in Europe, learn the legend of the symbol of Valencia and find out what the expression: “to stay by the Valencian moon” means.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts and ends at Plaza de la Virgen (Plaça de la Mare de Déu) in Ciutat Vella, Valencia's central district. The route is a loop, so you finish back where you began, which makes it easy to plan the rest of your day around it.
Does the route include the Silk Exchange (La Lonja de la Seda)?
Yes. The Silk Exchange is one of the stops, reached after the Central Market and before Plaza del Negrito. As at every stop, the app tells you the story of the place and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan for about an hour of play over roughly 3 km. The route passes La Estrecha, the National Ceramic Museum, City Hall, the Central Market, the Silk Exchange, Portal de Valldigna, the House of Cats and Serranos Towers. It is best played during the day.
Is it good for kids?
It is recommended for families. Children of school age who can walk about 3 km and enjoy looking for clues in streets, street art and buildings tend to get the most out of it. Younger children may need help with the puzzles.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No time slot is needed. You start whenever you like on your phone, with no guide or group to meet, and you can pause and continue later. One ticket covers your whole group.
What makes Time Travel Hero a fun way to see Valencia?

Instead of just ticking off landmarks, you’ll step into a sci-fi mission: travel through time, chase down a lost relic, and uncover stories behind places like Plaza de la Virgen, Serranos Towers, and the Mercat Central. It turns sightseeing into a game of discovery with surprises.

Is this quest good for a date night?

Yes. Evening light in Ciutat Vella makes the old streets glow, and solving puzzles together under fairy-light lamps adds sparkle. It’s playful, romantic, and gives you moments to laugh, pause, and explore hidden gems.

Can kids or teens handle this adventure?

For sure. The game is rated “easy” difficulty. Kids who like mysteries and exploring will get into finding portals, spotting the narrowest building, or hunting for street art. And you can always slow down for ice cream stops or breaks.
