Granada: Outdoor Escape Room Game with iPad & AR Clues

Summary

Granada’s gardens & old Realejo come alive in this outdoor puzzle quest

You’ll follow GPS clues through Granada’s gardens and winding Realejo streets using an iPad loaded with AR puzzles. The outdoor escape room game includes a gadget briefcase and is fully accessible for strollers or wheelchairs. Expect laughter, unexpected moments with locals, and that odd feeling of being inside a story while exploring real history.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is the click of the gadget briefcase — heavier than I thought — and then the way our guide grinned as he handed over the iPad. We were standing just off Plaza Nueva, right where you can smell churros drifting from a café, but suddenly it felt like we’d stepped into some kind of storybook. “You’ll need to find the crystals,” he said, and honestly, I didn’t know if he was joking or not. There was this weird excitement in my stomach, like when you’re about to open a present you didn’t expect.

We set off toward the Alhambra gardens, following clues that popped up on the screen with little bursts of color and sound. The air was cool — not cold — and I kept noticing how the light shifted through leaves overhead, dappling everything gold-green. My friend tried to pronounce “Realejo” properly (Li laughed when I tried; I definitely butchered it), and we got sidetracked watching an old man feed pigeons near a fountain. At one point, the iPad made this strange chime and showed us an AR creature hovering by a stone wall; it startled me so much I actually jumped back. So yeah, not my most graceful moment.

The best part? It didn’t feel like we were racing against time or stuck inside four walls — just wandering Granada’s historical corners with a purpose, but also free to pause and watch kids chasing each other or poke our heads into tiny alleys. When we finally pieced together the last clue near Realejo, there was this quiet satisfaction (and maybe a little relief). Our guide reappeared right on cue, clapped us on the back, and asked if we’d found all the crystals. I still think about that strange mix of old stones and new tech — how it made me see Granada differently for a couple of hours.
