Zaragoza: Self-Guided Scavenger Hunt & Walking Tour App

Summary

Wander Zaragoza’s streets, solve clues, find city secrets and laugh along the way

You’ll wander Zaragoza’s streets solving riddles and snapping creative photos while finding city highlights like San Felipe Square and the Stone Bridge. Go at your own pace using an easy app—pause for coffee or get competitive with friends. You’ll leave seeing Zaragoza in a way that sticks with you long after the last clue.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway across Plaza San Felipe before I realized how much I’d started looking at Zaragoza differently. My friend Ana was squinting at her phone, muttering about a statue we were supposed to find. The app had just pinged us with another riddle—something about a lion and justice—and suddenly we were peering up at facades I’d walked past a dozen times but never really noticed. There was this old man on a bench watching us fumble around, grinning like he knew the answer but wouldn’t give it away. The air smelled faintly of roasted coffee from somewhere nearby, which made me want to stop for a break, but Ana insisted we keep going.

The scavenger hunt tour in Zaragoza is funny that way: you end up zig-zagging through alleys and squares you might otherwise skip. We got stumped by one clue near the Stone Bridge—ended up arguing if the answer was hidden on a plaque or tucked behind some graffiti. (It was neither; turns out you have to look up.) At one point, Ana tried reading something in German because the app lets you switch languages, which just made both of us laugh harder. You can take as long as you want; nobody’s rushing you except maybe your own curiosity.

I liked that there wasn’t a guide hovering over us—just our phones, some gentle nudges from the app, and whatever locals happened to cross our path. One little kid pointed out the Cathedral of the Savior when we looked lost (I think his mom was proud). Sometimes we’d pause for photos because the app throws in these goofy challenges—“make your best lion face”—and I still have those pictures saved. It’s not fancy or dramatic but it felt real, like actually being part of Zaragoza for an afternoon. I still think about that old man’s grin sometimes.
