In the 1850s, a booming Barcelona was confined by medieval walls and its claustrophobic maze of narrow streets

Ildefons Cerdà would ultimately be responsible for designing the Eixample district, which gives the city famous its famous grid pattern. In our original game, you'll follow in his footsteps as you discover must-see attractions such as the Gothic Quarter, Palau de la Música, Casa Batlló and Plaza Catalunya.

Your objective is to solve puzzles along the route, using a set of essential engineering tools and by finding information hidden in Barcelona's buildings and streets.

Each team will be given a bag containing a map, a book with all the tasks you need to complete, the instruments you need to solve each task and a notebook in which to write down your discoveries.

Will you be able to find all the secrets that Cerdà hid in his work? This activity lasts a maximum of two hours, and each participant takes away a souvenir if they solve all the puzzles. Large groups will be divided into teams of around six people.

My colleagues and I really enjoyed our team-building day, especially the treasure hunt. Everything was well organized and went according to plan, even though there were so many of us.
