About this activity

This adventure tours is one of the standout things to do in Valladolid, Spain. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>This investigation begins on the Plaza Mayor in Valladolid, in front of the town hall, and heads into the streets behind it. Along the way you pass the Casa de Cervantes, the church of San Benito and the unfinished front of the cathedral. It is a detective game on foot, with Valladolid standing in for the scene of the crime.</p><p><br /></p><p>The centre of Valladolid is flat and the distances are short, so the walking suits families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues without much preparation. Teams are up to four people sharing one phone, and a larger party takes extra tickets and plays as separate teams. On your own the case works just as well. No guide comes with it, and you are not tied to a departure time.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Four steps come before the first clue in Valladolid.</p><ol><li>Book the City Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>The case is the murder of Balthasar.
