Escape the Inquisition in Madrid: Self-Guided Exploration Game
Overview of the tour in Madrid
Madrid is stalked by remnants and nightmares of the Spanish Inquisition — you just need to pierce its thin modern veneer. Unveil the city’s darkest secrets playing this game, and you will never see Madrid the same way again.
Following in the footsteps of Juana Picazo, a folk healer persecuted and arrested by the Inquisition, revisit beloved landmarks like the Plaza Mayor, the San Miguel Market, and La Latina, explore beautiful streets that have seen centuries of history, and save her life.
Highlights
See historic details in and around the Plaza Mayor that are hiding in plain sight
Walk the streets of La Latina, Madrid’s mecca for tapas
Learn about the darkest periods of Spain’s history
Try a new type of experience, the perfect mix between a tour, an outdoor escape game, and a treasure hunt.
Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you answer the questions, solve the challenge, or guess the answer, the secret story of each place is unlocked.
The city game will take you about 1.5 hours to complete, but there’s no time limit which will allow you to go at your own pace.
This activity includes:
- Plaza de Oriente
- Royal Basilica of Saint Francis the Great
- San Miguel Market
- Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición
- Plaza Mayor
