Mystery City Games are a mix between a scavenger hunt, escape room, and a self-guided walking tour.

It’s a bit like the Da Vinci Code or National Treasure – it’s about using clues hidden in the architecture of the city to solve a mystery. You can play competitively, but you can also relax and go your own pace, enjoying shops or cafés along the way.

It should definitely be included in your ‘top 10 things to do in Sintra’! No app or phone is needed – we think treasure hunts are more fun with real treasure maps, locks, and beautiful pieces.
