Quarteira FAQ

Is the Qarteira Adventure Hunt an escape room?

Adventure Hunt Quarteira is not an escape room but it is a fun experience with similar challenges and is enjoyable for people who enjoy escape rooms. Everything takes place outside, at your own pace – there is no race against the clock. In fact, we encourage people to take a break for a drink or something to eat and enjoy the lovely surrounding that the Adventure Hunt is set in. The real similarity is that the puzzles require a degree of teamwork and lateral thinking.

Is Adventure Hunt a walking tour of Quarteira?

Adventure Hunt Quarteira takes you around the town’s highlights and ‘hidden gems’. Along the way, you’ll learn some interesting facts about the town’s history, culture and local inhabitants. But it’s not a substitute for a guided historic walk as the emphasis of an Adventure Hunt is on fun and creativity.

Is the Quarteira escape room experience suitable for families?

Yes, it’s great for families as the puzzles are designed to be mostly solvable by children of 8+ years.

Are the clues complicated?

This is a really difficult question! What we can say is that out of the 10 initial test groups, no single clue was found to be difficult by all groups. Every group did find a couple to be quite challenging, but they were almost always different clues from the other groups.

So we can assure you that you are not faced with any impossible puzzles.

How do I win?

Having fun is winning so there is no need to be too focused on the score. That said, Adventure Hunt has a scoring system, with each clue offering a maximum of 20 points. Collect as many points as you do your Adventure Hunt and compete with friends and other groups.

Can we compete against another group?

Live scores are available within the Adventure Hunt App. You will be able to see the scores of everyone doing the same hunt as you on the Clue Completed page. We encourage a 10-minute break between groups.
