About this activity

Solve puzzles and uncover Murcia's artistic soul in this GPS-guided exploration game set around the historic city centre. Follow the story of Francisco Salzillo, the revered baroque sculptor, as you navigate sacred landmarks and hidden corners while piecing together clues about his lost chisel—an immersive blend of escape game mechanics and cultural discovery.

Sunlight washes over Murcia in warm gold, settling gently on quiet plazas and ornate façades. In the stillness, a presence lingers. Francisco Salzillo, master sculptor of sacred figures, walks beside you like a memory made real. His voice is soft, almost carried by the breeze, as he speaks of what he has lost. His chisel, the very instrument that shaped sorrow, grace, and faith into wood, has vanished. Without it, the stories he once carved feel distant, unreachable. You wander through Murcia’s living gallery, where every corner holds a trace of devotion. Churches whisper with centuries of prayer, statues seem to breathe beneath shifting light, and the city reveals itself in quiet detail.  In practice it plays as a self-guided scavenger hunt and walking tour through Murcia in one.


Salzillo guides you not with urgency, but with reverence, inviting you to see what others pass by. In every carved figure, every shadow and curve, the path unfolds. Somewhere among these echoes, his chisel waits. When it finally appears, resting among the very forms it once brought to life, time seems to pause. Gratitude fills the silence as Salzillo takes it back, not just as a tool, but as a piece of his soul returned. And as his presence fades into the artistry around you, Murcia feels different. Softer. Alive with memory. You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
