Malaga Highlights Exploration Game and Tour

Unlock the city's hidden stories through clues, culture, and a touch of 19th-century intrigue.


This Malaga city exploration game combines the curiosity of a treasure hunt with the depth of a guided tour, letting you uncover the layered history of Andalusia's most vibrant coastal city at your own pace. Using only your phone, you will decode clues, reveal local legends, and walk through streets that shaped modern Malaga.

The experience centres on the 19th century, a period when Malaga's society was sharply divided along class and cultural lines. As you move through the city centre, you will encounter the complex relationship between established local communities and the nomadic Roma people who called this region home.

From the atmospheric Casa del Guardia Tavern, one of the oldest in Malaga, to the quiet solemnity of the Santiago Church, the route threads together landmarks that are both well-known and frequently overlooked. Each stop adds a new layer to a narrative crafted by professional writers.

The format is deliberately accessible. There is no guide to keep up with and no fixed group dynamic. You set the rhythm, revisit clues at your leisure, and absorb the city on your own terms.

Tour Highlights

Walk through Malaga's historic city centre, visiting Constitution Square and surrounding streets steeped in 19th-century history.

Use your smartphone to receive clues, unlock location-based stories, and progress through the experience at your own pace.

Discover the Casa del Guardia Tavern, one of the oldest surviving taverns in Malaga, and learn about its role in local social history.

Visit the Statue of Hans Christian Andersen, a surprisingly personal monument with a connection to the folklore of the region.

Explore the Santiago Church and lesser-known religious and civic sites tucked within the city's historic quarter.

Learn about the historically strained relationship between Malaga's settled communities and the Roma people during the 19th century.

Engage with a format that blends a city tour, outdoor escape game, and treasure hunt into a single cohesive experience.

Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion)

Your starting point is the beating heart of Malaga's old town. The square has served as the city's main public gathering place for centuries and provides the first clues of the game.

Casa del Guardia Tavern

One of the oldest taverns in Malaga, this atmospheric spot has been serving local wine since 1840. The clues here draw on the social hierarchies that defined 19th-century Andalusian life.

Statue of Hans Christian Andersen

This distinctive monument raises questions about the connection between the Danish storyteller and the folklore traditions of southern Spain. Your phone will help you uncover the answer.

4
Santiago Church

Built in the 15th century, the Santiago Church is one of the oldest in Malaga and carries deep ties to the city's layered cultural identity. The game uses the site to explore themes of community and exclusion.
