You tap Start and the city answers: cobblestones click underfoot, shopfronts glance closedly, and a coastal breeze tugs at your coat as the clock in the app begins its countdown.
The Walter Case sends you through Barcelona’s artery of streets — from the Roman grid beneath the Gothic Quarter to wide Eixample avenues lined with modernist façades. The plot folds history into motion: investigating a blackmail scheme that suddenly threatens the city with a two-hour deadline, you move like a private detective interrogating façades and corners. The route reveals civic squares that once hosted markets, medieval alleys that still reveal Roman foundations, and the layered urban fabric where Catalan culture meets contemporary street life.
Expect varied surfaces: paved plazas, narrow alleys, and occasional stair descents. The game is adaptable — you choose suspects, routes, and search locations — and built for groups up to six using only a smartphone. It’s family-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, and works well with public transportation should you hop between neighborhoods.
Practical guidance: allow roughly 2–3 hours, start in daylight to read plaques and façades, and carry a backup battery and local transit card. Wear comfortable walking shoes and keep a small bag for water and snacks. Respect private property and local businesses as you search; the experience is more about observation than intrusion.
This is a tactile, urban scavenger hunt that rewards curiosity — the city supplies the clues, you supply the logic.
The listed duration is 150 minutes (about 2.5 hours); actual time varies with pace, group size, and how many optional routes you take.
