If you're unsure what to do with your kids, we have a suggestion: let them enjoy the unforgettable experience of a live-action role-playing game with the company Despertalia: Shadows Over Madrid.

This isn’t just an urban treasure hunt where boys and girls must solve puzzles throughout the adventure—it’s also an opportunity for children to develop their imagination and theatrical skills through role-playing. Plus, they’ll visit iconic locations like the Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, Retiro Park...


 Role-playing games for young children



Sounds fun, right? Optionally, kids can dress up to better embody their roles: monsters, mummies, ghosts, witches... Each character has unique abilities to use during the game to solve puzzles and dramatised scenarios. Challenges must be tackled as a group, achieving two key goals: providing the tools to explore Madrid’s historic sites and fostering teamwork.


 Activities for children's groups



How does the activity work?

The activity lasts 180 minutes—plenty of time to solve the challenges and complete the itinerary. At the start, each child receives a character sheet with a customised description (witch, mummy, ghost...) and their abilities, plus an ID. The guided route begins at the Temple of Debod and ends in Retiro Park.

At each stop, kids participate in a dramatised scene. Since everyone plays a specific character, they’ll interact and have a blast—it’s the perfect chance for them to enjoy time with friends while doing something completely out of the ordinary.
