About this activity

A smartphone-based exploration game that turns Málaga's historic centre into an interactive puzzle hunt, blending sightseeing with riddles, photo challenges, and GPS navigation to uncover lesser-known stories and hidden gems even locals miss.

Secrets of Málaga starts on the Plaza de la Constitución, beside the Fuente de Génova, and becomes a self-guided walking tour of the old centre. The route leads to Málaga Cathedral and on to the Teatro Romano at the foot of the hill. Each stop holds a question, and answering it explains what is in front of you. Along the way it plays like a scavenger hunt through Málaga, with something to find at every stop.


The game is made for friends, couples, families and colleagues who like walking with a puzzle to solve. One ticket covers a team of one to four people on a single phone, so larger groups form several teams and buy a ticket each. Solo players do fine. There is no guide and no fixed start time, so you can start early or leave the walk for the cooler end of the day.


How to play

Getting started in Málaga takes only a few minutes:

  1. Book the Exploration Game
  2. Check the instructions email
  3. Download the Loquiz app
  4. Start playing whenever you like


The tasks combine riddles, observation questions and photo assignments that only work on location. Around the Arco del Pasaje Chinitas, the Museo Picasso, the Casa Natal de Picasso and the Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso you gather facts and stories about the painter who was born here, the Roman and Moorish layers underfoot and the life of these squares.


Several teams playing at once makes it a contest, with points per answer and a leaderboard at the finish. Companies book it as a team outing and it works equally well for a day with friends. Pause for a drink and continue whenever you want, ending back among the streets of central Málaga.

Insider tips

  • ★Start early morning (before 10 a.m.) to avoid crowds at popular landmarks and have better photo opportunities for task completion.
  • ★Bring a fully charged phone and have a backup power bank; GPS and app use drain battery faster than normal browsing.
  • ★Team up with 3–4 people per device to share the mental load of puzzles and make the competitive element more engaging.
  • ★Read clues carefully—many 'secrets' require you to notice architectural details or plaques that casual visitors overlook.

Good to know

  • •Intermediate difficulty level—expect lateral-thinking puzzles and riddles, not just walking.
  • •Book a date/time slot but start whenever suits you; no fixed departure or guide required.
  • •One ticket per group of up to 4 people; groups larger than 4 need additional tickets.
  • •Entirely self-guided; no physical accessibility support or guide assistance on-site.
