Find the pages before he does.

I wrote that story down by hand, the first time, before any printer could smooth it. That first draft was never found.

Start the mission

It begins
Born in this city around 1490. Treasurer of a fleet that sailed for Florida in 1527 with some six hundred men.
It goes wrong
I hid its thirteen pages in my city. Tonight a dealer in stolen papers, the Collector, has found the trail. At midnight he hands my draft to a buyer, and it is gone for good.
Your move
My first page waits at the old town hall on the Plaza de la Asunción, just north of here.

Secrets of Jerez de la Frontera is what happens when a walking route stops telling you things and starts asking. Your own phone, your own pace, the streets themselves as the board.

Your position drives the whole thing: each location unlocks a riddle, a puzzle or a photo task as you reach it. To solve them you have to read Jerez de la Frontera itself rather than a screen, and that is why you walk away knowing things the average local does not.

Catedral de Jerez de la Frontera, Real Iglesia De San Dionisio Areopagita and Plaza del Arenal come up along the way. The stretches between the stops are where most of the looking gets done, at things that are hidden only by being ordinary.

Torre Octogonal del Alcázar and Casa-Palacio de González Del Villar are on the route as well, and the group stops walking past things somewhere along the way and starts reading them.

A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Jerez de la Frontera, With Riddles Instead of a Guide

Think of it as a self-guided walking tour that asks you questions. You get the same thing a walking tour gives you, a route through Jerez de la Frontera and the stories behind what you are looking at, but nobody is talking at you and nobody is waiting for the group to catch up. You walk, you look, and you work things out. The difficulty is intermediate, which in practice means most groups solve most things and argue productively about the rest. Expect riddles, code-breaking and a fair number of photographs you would not otherwise have taken.

Had great fun playing secrets of Haarlem!

Looking for a Scavenger Hunt to Do in Jerez de la Frontera?

Right here. Organising it means booking a date, open the play link from your email and then starting when it suits you. Nothing to print, nothing to plant beforehand, no clues to invent: the route through Jerez de la Frontera and everything on it is already built, about two hours across 3 to 4 km. One ticket covers up to four people on one phone for €19.95.

An Outdoor Scavenger Hunt That Works for Any Group in Jerez de la Frontera

Teams. A corporate scavenger hunt that needs no facilitator, no room booking and no scheduled start. Buy one ticket per four people, send the teams into Jerez de la Frontera on the same route, and compare who found what. Running several groups at once is what turns it into a competition.

Adults. As a scavenger hunt for adults it has real bite, this is not a printable list of things to spot. The difficulty is intermediate, the riddles reward looking at what is in front of you, and the two hours hold up for a group that came to be entertained.

Families. Children walk it without trouble and are usually the fastest at the photo tasks. The riddles are the part you solve together, which is what makes it work for a group with a wide spread of ages.

Couples and friends. No umbrella to follow, no group to stay with, no fixed pace. Stop where you like, take as long as you like, and finish knowing things about Jerez de la Frontera that most residents never learned.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Secrets exploration game work?

It runs in the browser on your phone. After booking you get a link, walk to the starting point in Jerez de la Frontera and begin. The game reads your location, gives you that spot's riddle, puzzle or photo task, and unlocks the next one when you have it.

Is this a walking tour or a game?

Both, deliberately. On distance and route it is a walking tour of Jerez de la Frontera; on content it is a puzzle. The history arrives through the riddles rather than through a guide, and there is nobody to follow.

What do we need to bring?

Just a charged phone and comfortable shoes for 3 to 4 km. You get a link when you book and open the play link at the first stop; nothing to print, nothing to plant beforehand, nothing to pick up anywhere.

How long does it take?

Two hours is typical, over a 3 to 4 km route. There is no clock and no scheduled departure, you fix the day when you book and start whenever you want on it.

How many people can play on one ticket?

Between one and four people share a single phone on one €19.95 ticket. Beyond four, take a second ticket, two groups on the same route can race each other, which is the better way to do it anyway.

Is it hard?

The difficulty is intermediate. The riddles need looking and lateral thinking rather than local knowledge, and nothing is so obscure that a group gets stuck for good.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, the 3 to 4 km is no obstacle and the photo tasks are where younger players get ahead. The riddles sit at intermediate, so families tend to solve them as a group, which is the intended way round.

Do we need to book a date?

Not a slot, just a date. When you start on that date is entirely up to you, and there is nowhere to assemble and nobody to find.

What happens if it rains?

You decide when to play and you can pause whenever you like. If a shower comes over, step inside somewhere, wait it out and pick up where you left off, you pause whenever you like and there is no clock running.

Will we actually learn something about Jerez de la Frontera?

Yes, and not as a side effect. The riddles are made from the history and the characters of Jerez de la Frontera and from details most people never notice, so the learning is the solving. Anyone who would rather follow a story can take one of the other city games in Jerez de la Frontera.

Wir (Mein Mann, unsere 9-jährige Tochter und ich) haben heute ganz spontan das Spiel "Moordmysterie Düsseldorf" gebucht und gespielt. Die Buchung verlief schnell und reibungslos. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht! Die Story, die Rätsel, das Konzept, die Route, die Gestaltung der App... richtig gut!!! Das Spiel würde ich vor allem Familien mit Kindern empfehlen. Für Erwachsene waren die Rätsel (meiner Meinung nach) zu einfach. Aber trotzdem wegen der schönen Route durch Düsseldorf, der Story, den lustigen Anweisungen zwischendurch eine schöne Aktion, die man zusammen machen kann.

I had a fantastic experience with CityGame! The concept is creative, engaging, and a great way to explore a city in a completely new way. The games are well-designed, combining puzzles, storytelling, and adventure so you’re constantly discovering something interesting around every corner. What I especially love is how CityGame turns a normal walk through the city into an interactive experience. It’s perfect for friends, families, or team outings, and it makes sightseeing much more exciting than the usual tours. Everything was easy to use, the challenges were fun and clever, and it really encouraged us to look closer at the city and its hidden details. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore!

This is an interesting way to conduct a self-guided Amsterdam city tour. It used the GPS on your phone to guide you to stops on a route. There are mini quizzes once you arrive at the stops on the path. The quizzes draw your attention to features in front of you or to a brief history of the place. In many cases, we visited a spot that would not have been obvious as a regular passer by. The tour as a whole was interesting to us as newcomers, but I would have liked more information on many locations we visited - a few links outside of the app for each place would have been helpful. Beyond that, the interface was a bit clunky and sometimes awkward to navigate. We definitely don't regret trying this out and feel like we got our money's worth on the experience.
