Do I need to book a specific start time?

You choose a start date when booking, but you can begin the game whenever you want on that day. There's no fixed departure or guide—you're fully self-guided.

What happens if my phone runs out of battery?

A portable phone charger is strongly recommended since the game relies on GPS and your screen for 2 hours. Consider charging before you start or carrying a power bank.

Can I do this alone, or do I need a group?

The game is designed for both solo players and groups. One ticket covers 1–4 people, so you can play solo or with friends/family without needing extra tickets (unless your group exceeds 4).

Is this game suitable for children?

It's intermediate difficulty and best suited for teens and adults. Younger children may struggle with riddles and the length; adult guidance is recommended if bringing kids.

Will I see famous Córdoba landmarks like the Mosque-Cathedral?

The game focuses on Córdoba's historic centre, including sights such as Puerta de Almodóvar and the Synagogue. Some major landmarks may be near the route, but the game emphasizes hidden corners and lesser-known spots tied to the narrative.

What language is the game in?

Language availability wasn't specified in the tour details—confirm with the supplier before booking, especially if you need languages beyond Spanish or English.

About this activity

Explore Córdoba's medieval heart through an interactive self-guided GPS game that weaves philosophy, history, and mystery into a 2-hour urban adventure. Solve riddles, complete photo challenges, and uncover hidden corners of Spain's golden-age city while piecing together a narrative inspired by the lost writings of the philosopher Averroes.

Córdoba breathes in layers of stone, shadow, and orange blossom. Beneath the arches of memory, Averroes walks again, the great philosopher searching for a lost book once feared, burned, and scattered by those who could not bear its questions.

Now its fragments whisper through the city, hidden near gates, courtyards, and quiet corners where reason still lingers. Follow the traces of ink through Córdoba’s soul and help restore the words that were meant to endure. The truth is out there, just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
