Lisbon City of Spies: A Team Adventure Spy Quest 🕵️

City of Spies: A Team Adventure Spy Quest 🕵️

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
2.5 hours. 3–4 stops. One spy story unfolding across Lisbon.
Grab your friends, or borrow a few strangers.
Your cover story? Sightseeing.
Your secret objective? Mischief.
You'll solve clues, take on unexpected challenges, work together, and discover that not everyone may be playing for the same side.
Less walking. More doing. More talking. More moments you'll still be laughing about afterwards.
Come solo, with a friend, or with your whole crew.
Just don't assume everyone on your team is playing the same game.

🕵️ What to Expect

Everyone starts together with an opening mission that gets things moving.
You'll have some time to meet the other participants and get oriented before teams are formed about 30 minutes into the experience.
Then the real mission begins.
You'll move through a few locations around Lisbon, taking on a mix of clues, challenges, unexpected tasks, and moments that require everyone to work together.
Expect:
🔎 Clues that make you look at the city a little differently
🤝 Challenges where everyone has a part to play
📸 A few opportunities to create evidence along the way
😂 Moments that will probably become inside jokes
🕵️ And somewhere along the way, someone may have a secret agenda...
You won't know exactly what's coming. That's part of the fun.

❤️ The Point Isn't Sightseeing

This isn't a traditional walking tour.
And it's not about being the smartest person in the group.
The experience is designed to get people talking, laughing, cooperating, and doing something memorable together.
You don't need to know Lisbon inside out.
You don't need to be a puzzle genius.
And you definitely don't need to be outgoing.
Just show up ready to participate and have some fun.
The goal is that by the end, you know the people on your team a lot better than when you arrived.

🚶 Much Less Walking

We heard the feedback from our previous Meetup loud and clear.
This version has been redesigned with shorter walks between stops and much more of the experience happening at the locations themselves.
It's an adventure through Lisbon, but it's not a walking tour.

👥 Who Is This For?

Expats and locals who want to meet new people
Solo adventurers
People new to Lisbon
People who want to make more friends in the city
Friends looking for something different to do together
Anyone who likes games, challenges, and a little mystery
Coming alone?
Perfectly fine.
You don't need to know anyone beforehand. You'll meet everyone during the opening part of the experience before teams are formed.
Coming with friends?
Also great. You'll still have opportunities to meet and interact with other participants.

🎟️ Launch Price: €10

The launch ticket is €10 per person.

A Few Things to Know

👥 Teams are formed approximately 30 minutes into the experience, not immediately at the meeting point.
📱 Your phone is an important part of the quest. Please arrive with it fully charged.
🔐 Some information is intentionally kept secret. That's part of the fun.
🚶 There is walking between locations, but considerably less than in our previous version.
☀️ The experience takes place outdoors, so dress appropriately for the weather.
Most importantly, don't worry about coming alone.
A big part of the experience is meeting people, becoming a team with people you may not know yet, and seeing what happens when you throw a group of strangers into the same mission.

Ready?

Come meet some new people, explore Lisbon in a completely different way, and see what happens when a group of strangers gets thrown into the same mission.

You might leave with a new group chat.
