A narrow street in La Latina, sun warming the flagstones, and a phone buzzing with a new clue — that’s the opening scene of this self-guided exploration game through Madrid’s historic core. Players move at their own pace, piecing together riddles that point to plazas, hidden façades, and shrines that most walking tours merely pass by.

History
Madrid transformed from a medieval market town into Spain’s capital in the 16th century; many Old Town streets preserve buildings and public squares shaped by Habsburg-era urbanism and later civic changes.
Conservation
Stick to paved paths, avoid chalking or affixing items to historic walls, and support local businesses rather than leaving waste — small actions help protect fragile urban heritage.
