You set off from Plaza de España with the Atlantic breeze nudging your notes and a phone full of clues. Cobblestones click underfoot, palm fronds murmur above, and the city’s wide bay keeps one eye on you as you follow cryptic prompts: decode a cipher on a tiled façade, photograph a suspect’s telltale detail, and follow a trail of small, deliberate clues toward Balthasar’s last known steps.

Operated by City Game · Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife
You set off from Plaza de España with the Atlantic breeze nudging your notes and a phone full of clues. Cobblestones click underfoot, palm fronds murmur above, and the city’s wide bay keeps one eye on you as you follow cryptic prompts: decode a cipher on a tiled façade, photograph a suspect’s telltale detail, and follow a trail of small, deliberate clues toward Balthasar’s last known steps.
Santa Cruz is a port city shaped by volcanic geology and maritime trade; its layout reflects 19th-century expansion and a blend of Canarian, Spanish and colonial influences. Streets open onto public squares and modernist buildings; the market stalls at Nuestra Señora de África hum with local produce and the scent of spice. That contrast—old stone and Atlantic wind—gives the game texture: puzzles use architecture, plaques and public art as story beats.
Practically, the experience is self-paced and designed for easy walking (about 2 hours). After booking you’ll receive instructions and download the Loquiz app; play any time on your chosen date. Work solo or in teams up to four per device, choose your language, and expect a mix of logic puzzles, photo challenges and light role-play. Bring a charged phone, comfortable shoes, and a small bottle of water; sun in summer can be strong and winter afternoons may carry sea-spray chills.
This city game is less a race than an urban scavenger hunt—think detective work that asks you to read place as evidence. It’s ideal for families, groups of friends, or travelers who want to learn the city by doing, not just by looking.
You’ll receive an email with instructions and a link; download the Loquiz app, enter the code provided and start from any public point in central Santa Cruz on your chosen date.
Written guides are available in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Dutch—select your language in the app before you begin.
One ticket covers 1–4 people per device; larger groups can purchase additional tickets to split into teams and compare progress.
The game is primarily on sidewalks and plazas but includes cobblestones and some uneven surfaces; it’s marked as physically easy but not fully wheelchair-optimized.
City Game operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
