Barcelona: Ghosts of the Gothic Quarter Self-Guided Puzzle Game
Description
Barcelona, dusk. You are T. F. Specter, a writer of ghost stories haunted by writer's block. Someone whispered about a hidden ghost trail in the Gothic Quarter, where ancient spirits still wander. If you survive, you will write the best book of your life. This self-guided ghost quest takes you on a 50-minute walk through the shadowy heart of Barcelona. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow the trail at 10 stops through the Gothic Quarter: from the Roman tombs of Via Sepulcral Romana and the cursed bell tower of Santa Maria del Pi to the haunted fountain on La Rambla, and the legendary skull beneath the Pont del Bisbe. Solve eerie puzzles and uncover the dark legends hiding in plain sight. Best after dark, when the Gothic Quarter reveals its true character. Explore 3 kilometres of Barcelona's most atmospheric streets at your own pace. Do not enter the venues. Perfect for thrill-seekers and history lovers. No prior knowledge of Barcelona required.

The plot is boring, but this is not the point. It took us on a really interesting evening walk around the old town of Barcelona. Very happy! Definitely do after dark ;)
Thanks for the candid review! While I'll definitely let our writers know that the plot could use a little more excitement, I'm thrilled the game still did its main job: taking you on a really interesting evening walk through Barcelona's old town. You're totally right—exploring the Gothic Quarter after dark adds the perfect spooky vibe to the experience. We hope to guide you through another city (maybe with a punchier storyline!) soon.
Very interesting, you walk through the city without realizing it and discover a lot of streets and details that you didn't know, calmly, at your own pace
I'm glad to hear that you found the experience very interesting! It sounds like the adventure allowed you to discover new streets and details in the city at your own comfortable pace. Exploring the unknown at your leisure is such a wonderful way to experience a place. Here's to more delightful discoveries with Questo at your own rhythm!
"We had a great time; we were expecting a mystery game, but it turned out to be more of a sightseeing tour. However, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We got to explore places and discover details in our city that we had never seen before."
Delighted to hear you had a great time exploring! While the experience might have varied from your initial expectation, I'm glad you enjoyed discovering new and fascinating aspects of your city.

Disproportionate price for what it offers, it is a good game of clues to learn more about some corners but it can be greatly improved

The game is fun and full of interesting information about the legends of the city. It can get really spooky! Also, as you walk by different parts of the city center, like Ramblas or Barrio Gótico, you get to see many stores, restaurants and buildings that you wouldn't otherwise get to know! A truly fantastic experiencie!

Some of the puzzles didn't make sense without the hint, and the dagger in the last puzzle seemed to have been behind some construction scaffolding.
