Exploring Barcelona in a New Way: The Hunt City Adventure
Imagine spending a day in Barcelona not just sightseeing but actively playing a game that takes you through its lively streets, intriguing alleys, and famous landmarks. For $282 per group of up to 7 people, you get to experience a dynamic urban adventure designed to outsmart and outmaneuver your opponents while uncovering the city’s secrets. Led by an engaging guide, this live-action chase offers a fresh view of one of Europe’s most vibrant cities, blending entertainment with exploration.
What we really like about The Hunt is how it combines physical activity with mental challenge. You’re not just following a map — you’re outsmarting rivals, using your surroundings, and reacting to surprises that keep the game unpredictable. Two standout aspects are the real-time updates and live tracking — which make the experience seamless and immersive — and the chance to explore hidden corners that typical tours rarely reach. That said, it’s worth noting that participants should be comfortable with moving quickly and navigating the city’s streets.
This adventure is ideal for groups of friends, families, or even colleagues looking for something memorable and energetic. Keep in mind that it’s not suitable for travelers with mobility issues or heart problems, given the physical aspect. If you’re after a fun, competitive way to see Barcelona beyond the usual tourist spots, this might just be the perfect choice.

What Is The Hunt and How Does It Work?
The Hunt is a team-based urban adventure where participants become either Hunters or Hunted in a live, real-time game.

Outsmart your rivals before time runs out.
The game involves strategic decision-making and using your surroundings to your advantage.

The guide plays a crucial role, providing clues, tips, and updates that keep the game moving. They ensure you understand the rules and help maintain the flow, making it accessible even for first-timers.
