Operated by City Game · San José, San José Province
Fogged breath on an early-morning Avenida Central, the city’s hum becomes a soundtrack as a notification pings and the game begins.
Players follow a trail of cryptic messages, snapshots, and digital characters that turn San José’s plazas, side streets and façades into clues. The route threads past landmarks—bustling markets, the ornate Teatro Nacional, and pocket parks—recasting familiar urban features as puzzle pieces. The city dares you to read its signs differently: a fountain’s angle becomes an alibi, a mural a cipher.
San José grew from an 18th‑century settlement into Costa Rica’s political and cultural center during the 19th‑century coffee boom; the game borrows that civic texture, using colonial-era boulevards and modern blocks alike. Geology here is subtle—soft volcanic soils underlie the downtown grid—so expect city sidewalks rather than rocky trails. Culturally, the route moves through neighborhoods shaped by commerce and migration, offering small glimpses of daily life rather than curated tourist moments.
Practical details are straightforward. The self-guided experience runs about two hours, primarily on flat pavement with intermittent stairs and busy intersections; estimate 2–3 km of walking. Book one ticket per group (1–4 players per device), check your email for Loquiz app instructions, and start at your chosen time. Bring a charged phone, comfortable shoes, sun protection and a reusable water bottle. Urban navigation and common-sense safety—watch traffic, stay aware at night—make the game smooth. This is an easy, story-driven way to explore San José with a playful, investigative edge.
After booking you'll receive an email with instructions and a link to download the Loquiz app; follow those steps and open the app at your chosen start time to begin.
One ticket covers a group of 1–4 players sharing a single device; larger parties should purchase additional tickets so subgroups can play independently.
The game runs on city sidewalks and includes some stairs and uneven pavements; accessibility may vary by block—contact the operator for specific route details.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled date; cancellations within 24 hours are not refundable.
