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.

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. From the moment you meet your guide — who will explain the rules and make sure everything runs smoothly — you’re thrown into a playful but competitive race across Barcelona’s streets. The goal? Outsmart your rivals before time runs out.

The game involves strategic decision-making and using your surroundings to your advantage. You’ll explore both well-known landmarks like the Gothic Quarter or Plaça de Catalunya and less-traveled alleys and hidden corners. The experience is designed to bring out your problem-solving skills while offering a fast-paced, energetic game that keeps everyone engaged.

The Itinerary and Key Stops

Because the game is dynamic, the exact route varies, but you can expect to navigate through Barcelona’s central neighborhoods, with real-time updates guiding your moves. The game’s unpredictability adds to the fun — you might find yourself racing through Las Ramblas, ducking into small plazas, or darting around iconic buildings like Casa Batlló or Sagrada Família.

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.
