Palma de Mallorca: Escape from Castle Bellver
Description
The year is 1805. You are Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, and after seven years in Castle Bellver, you have escaped. But freedom is not yet yours, you must sneak back inside to find a map leading to the port and a ship off the island. Navigate 14 stops from the castle through the Bellver Forest, past a chapel, down through Santa Catalina's streets and market, to the harbour. Decode Latin inscriptions, count Roman guardians, crack passwords, and read a sundial to learn your escape date. Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start at Castle Bellver's parking area. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace. Every stop reveals Palma's history: Europe's only circular castle, a forest hiding a witch's legend, a 900 sq metre hotel mural, and a Civil War memorial debated under Spain's memory law. Best in the morning. Perfect for couples or history lovers visiting Mallorca. About 3 hours, 14 stops from castle to harbour.

We randomly tried this outdoor escape game while exploring Mallorca and it was such a fun surprise. Solving riddles while walking through the city made the experience much more interactive than a normal walk. It led us to interesting places and the story kept us curious until the end. Definitely recommend if you want to explore Mallorca in a different way.
Thanks for the fantastic review! I am thrilled to hear that our outdoor escape game was such a fun surprise during your trip to Mallorca. It is wonderful to know that solving the riddles and following the story made your walk more interactive and kept you curious until the very end. Helping explorers discover interesting places in a completely new way is exactly why we created Questo, and we are so glad it added to your trip. We would love to have you solve another mystery with us wherever your travels take you next!
I recommend visiting Palma. You have a beautiful view.
Muito obrigado pela recomendação! Fico muito feliz que tenha aproveitado a vista incrível de Palma enquanto jogava a nossa missão no Castelo de Bellver. É realmente um cenário maravilhoso para explorar. Espero que você descubra outra cidade conosco em breve!
Very disappointed. The castle was closed due to stormy weather, which I understand was for safety reasons. However, as the closure happened within 24 hours of my booking, no refund or alternative date was offered. Since the castle is closed on Mondays, there was no chance to rebook either. Poor customer service and disappointing policy for something completely outside visitors’ control.
Hey, sorry for your experience, but your review is misleading. We would be happy to offer you a quest in return. However, we need you to contact us at care@questoapp.com and tell us more about what happened, and what quest you want to play next.
It was interesting. Without the Questo I wouldn’t probably go to the castle. It wasn’t very clear in the beginning, but it get’s better with experience…
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear the quest brought you to the castle and that it became clearer as you went along. Your feedback on the beginning is really helpful—we’ll keep improving the instructions so it’s smoother from the start.
