For visitors to Évora
Two urban exploration games turn the streets and hidden corners of Évora’s historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, into a board full of puzzles. You play as a team, at your own pace, with no guide and no strangers.
The games
Each team plays independently, with an iPad and a kit of objects and gadgets. The puzzles are analogue, digital or augmented reality. A game master, the person who runs the game, follows along remotely and can always be reached.
Spy mission
Spider Technologies has created a mind-control virus and W.I.S.E., an international intelligence organisation, needs agents. The mission: obtain the antidote and stop Spider Tech before time runs out.
For anyone who loves spies, technology and gadgets.
2 to 5 players per team · up to 150 min · PT · EN · ES
Fantasy adventure
Since the dawn of time, magic portals protected by guardians have linked our world to a parallel world. One guardian has fallen into a magical sleep and evil creatures are invading our world. The mission: solve puzzles in enchanted places and gather crystals to seal the portal again.
For anyone who loves magic, legends and fantastic creatures.
2 to 5 players per team · up to 180 min · PT · EN · ES
