Exciting, cosy and a super location.

Nice mystery. And actually more challenging than expected... 👍 Super nice and cozy location. We got taken some pictures ☰ It is recommended to solve the mystery in the evening. We were out at 23:00 when there were no people... We will definitely try it in other cities as well.

Dear Jeppe, thank you so much for the fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the mystery and found it to be a fun challenge. 👌 It sounds like you captured some amazing photos out there! 📸 🤩 Your tip about doing the mystery around 11 PM to avoid the crowds is actually brilliant—there is definitely a special, immersive atmosphere in the city at that time. 🤌 We would love to have you try our mysteries in other cities too! Since you are already looking for your next adventure, you can check out all our home page. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you on another hunt soon! Best regards, Rasmus Solve A Mystery

Not like everything else!

It’s a great way to explore while doing something different from the usual tourist activities. Everything ran smoothly, and it kept us entertained the entire time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a bit out of the ordinary!

A Scam!!!

It's a scam!! I've been here for over half an hour and still no. He sent me the QRCODE to enter!!! What a disappointment

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the frustration you’re experiencing. If you haven’t received your QR code after 30 minutes, something is clearly not working as it should. Please check the following quickly: * Your spam/junk folder in your email * The email address used at checkout (small typo errors happen) * Any confirmation email from us that may contain the QR code or a download link If you still can’t find it, please contact us directly with your booking name and time, and we will resend your QR code immediately and make sure you can get started as soon as possible. We understand the disappointment, and we’ll do everything we can to fix this for you right away.

Scam for a booklet

The activity is completely misleading. It seems that you are going to do a group activity, and/or guided and nothing further from the activity. They give you a booklet, very expensive by the way, so that you can walk around Madrid solving puzzles. You are not going to learn anything, it is child's play that is not worth paying for. Print your tracks at home, it's cheaper than this scam

Operator response

Hi We are so sorry to hear that you haven't been satisfied with your mystery hunt. We really appreciate your feedback as this help us improve. We understand you found the price too high, what price do you think is a fair price for the people of Madrid? Our experiences are sold per person, similar to other city walks, tourist tours, and escape rooms. Regarding the provided materials, we have a slogan called "minimum waste," which means that we care about nature and the resources we use. That's why we carry the Swan and environmental labels, which plant trees to offset the resources we use for printing. Therefore, we provide one set of papers for every four participants instead of giving everyone individual papers. We have conducted tests and surveys that show that four people sharing a set of papers is optimal for everyone to be able to see them and be equally engaged. If the group is larger, fitting amounts of material will be provided. We hope that as a group, you can share the papers and help protect the environment. We hope for your understanding. As for the level of difficulty we often hear our mysteries are to the more complicated side, maybe you are an amazing investigator and your level is more than beyond impressive. But please let us know what part of the mystery made you feel like it was a children's game – this way we can adjust the difficulty level. Thank you so much for your feedback. Best wishes Rasmus from Solve a Mystery

Mystery Hunt FTW

As an avid Mystery Hunt user I was thrilled to try this new mystery. Although some of the tasks were hard we did solve it in the end. I can recommend this to all true crime fans. It was kind of like an outdoor escape room.

Best citywalk I have ever tried!

This citywalk was different to any other city walk I have tried. First of all it was self-guided, which allowed for perfect flexibility for my travel plans, and it was a puzzle game mixed with history and true crime which made it much more fun to any other city walk. If you have not tried Solve A Mystery's self-guided mystery hunts before, please do yourself a favor a try it.
