About this experience
Play a city game in Lisbon’s medieval district and experience its narrow alleys, fado music, and breathtaking lookout points. Follow clues and solve puzzles to unravel Alfama’s past, as you explore one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon.
+ Enjoy a fun and interactive city discovery game
+ Discover amazing places in the old town
+ Learn about fado, the musical spirit of Portugal
Discover the city’s fascinating history and famous attractions as you solve clues around Lisbon. Explore the Alfama district by playing a fun quest with your friends, partner, or family. Each clue will give you direction from one place to another, so you won’t need a map, a GPS, or a guide.
Solve clues and guess the answer to unlock the secret story of each place. Play as a group and solve the clues together, or split into teams and compete against each other. The city discovery game will take about 1.5 hours to complete, but there’s no time limit so you can go at your own pace.
