Context
The urban pub quiz in Madrid takes place in the vibrant neighborhood of Lavapiés, a culturally rich and lively district in the city center. This two-hour experience takes advantage of Lavapiés’ diverse selection of iconic bars to create a fun, interactive journey blending entertainment and exploration. The area is packed with bustling terraces, where music, laughter, and animated conversations fill the air.
The Experience
Participants begin at a traditional bar with a welcome tapa to break the ice. Using the Gynkana Big mobile app, they solve urban challenges and riddles that guide them to the next bars. At each stop, they enjoy included drinks—tapas, wine, or soft drinks—while progressing through the game. The route ends at a third bar after completing team-based challenges that encourage communication and cooperation. For those choosing the full package, the experience continues with a themed dinner, unlimited drinks, and a night of dancing at a nearby club, extending the celebration.
For Whom
This activity is designed for adults over 18 with the ability to walk short distances between bars. It’s ideal for small groups of friends looking to combine fun, socializing, and local food and drink in a dynamic urban setting. It is not suitable for individuals with limited mobility unless prior arrangements are made, nor for those who prefer different drink options or require supervision during the event.
