Adventure Hunt Portimao
A New Accessible Portimao Escape Room Experience. Challenge Yourself!
Portimao Escape Room Experience
Adventure Hunt is a new way to enjoy a stroll and have some fun in the Portimao sun.
Adventure Hunt is a new outdoor escape room experience in Portimao. It is similar to escape rooms and scavenger hunts. Each puzzle uses items in plain sight. They might be murals, statues, buildings or landmarks. The questions are designed to make you think and pay attention, making for a fun group activity.
Les Application Chasse à l'aventure vous aide à naviguer entre les énigmes sans vous demander simplement de suivre un point sur une carte. Des indices peuvent être utilisés si vous avez besoin d'aide pour résoudre l'une des énigmes. L'application est disponible sur Android et iPhone.
The trail is around 2km long (with 20 clues) and follows the ‘Rota Acessível’ (Accessible Route) a concrete path around the town. Recently decorated by various artists with the help of the non-profit association POIS!, the path is intended to ‘impregnate the city with happiness’ and its bright colours and patterns, and non-cobbled surface, make it a joyful experience to use.
The Adventure Hunt showcases the best of Portimao from its beautiful palm tree-lined promenade, dotted with contemporary sculptures, through the cobbled streets of the old town with its majestic squares, and down to the port area, from where you can take a boat taxi to nearby Ferragudo and local beaches, or learn more about the town’s canning history at the museum.
There are plenty of interesting places to stop at along the way, including museums and historical buildings, as well as some great souvenir shops (with locally-produced crafts) and a good mix of traditional and contemporary restaurants and cafes – serving everything from stewed chicken gizzards to Michelin Star tasting menus.
This Adventure Hunt is ideal for wheelchair and pushchair users, and anyone with reduced mobility. Most of the Accessible Route is level although there is a slight incline leading up to the church square. The Adventure Hunt also takes you down a short, cobbled lane and crosses a few cobbled sections to rejoin the Accessible Route.
The Hunt starts and ends on the waterfront. There is plenty of parking along the promenade, or if you are visiting by public transport, many of the local buses stop around here. The train station is about 5 minutes away by car.
The Portimao Adventure Hunt is set in the seaside town of Portimao.
To ensure that everyone is actively participating, a group size of 2-4 individuals is advised. If your group is larger, consider dividing into two different groups. This hunt is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French and Dutch.

Portimao FAQ
Is Adventure Hunt Portimao an escape room?
Adventure Hunt Portimao 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.
La véritable similitude réside dans le fait que les puzzles requièrent un certain degré de travail d'équipe et de réflexion latérale.
Is Adventure Hunt a walking tour of Portimao?
The Adventure Hunt in Portimao takes you along the beautiful promenade and around the narrow streets of the old quarter, showing you some places that you were possibly not aware of. However, it is not a replacement for a historical or guided walk as the focus is on having fun rather than learning.
Is This New Portimao escape room experience suitable for families?
Oui, Adventure Hunt est idéal pour les familles. Choisissez l'option Famille lors de votre réservation si vous avez des enfants de moins de 8-12 ans.
les indices sont-ils compliqués ?
C'est une question vraiment difficile ! Ce que nous pouvons dire, c'est que sur les 10 groupes de test initiaux, aucun indice n'a été jugé difficile par tous les groupes. Chaque groupe en a trouvé quelques-uns assez difficiles, mais il s'agissait presque toujours d'indices différents de ceux des autres groupes.
Nous pouvons donc vous assurer que vous ne serez pas confronté à des énigmes impossibles à résoudre.
Comment gagner ?
S'amuser, c'est gagner, il n'est donc pas nécessaire de se focaliser sur le score. Cela dit, Adventure Hunt dispose d'un système de notation, chaque indice donnant droit à un maximum de 20 points. Collectez autant de points que vous le souhaitez dans le cadre de la chasse à l'aventure et affrontez vos amis et d'autres groupes.
Pouvons-nous rivaliser avec un autre groupe ?
Les scores en direct sont disponibles dans l'application Adventure Hunt. Vous pourrez voir les scores de tous ceux qui font la même chasse que vous sur la page de l'indice terminé. Nous encourageons une pause de 10 minutes entre les groupes.
Veuillez nous contacter si vous avez plusieurs groupes. Nous pouvons mettre en place une configuration spécifique afin que tous vos groupes puissent démarrer sur des indices séparés en même temps.

About Portimao
Portimao is the largest city in the Western Algarve, with a rich cultural and industrial heritage. From its origins as a small fishing village during Roman times, by the 16th Century, it was a thriving port town that needed defending from pirates with fortresses on either side of the estuary. Although these fortresses can be seen today, many other historic and religious buildings were devasted by the earthquake and tsunami in 1755.
By the 19th Century, Portimao was once again a prosperous city, with a thriving fish canning and processing industry, as well as shipbuilding. At this time, most of the city’s inhabitants worked in these industries, some as young as 14.
Today, the port still plays an important role in the city’s economy and there are some great boat trips that you can take across the estuary to Ferragudo or even upriver to Silves. To learn more about the city’s fishing history, the Portimao Museum has some fascinating displays and you can also visit an artisanal cannery in nearby Parchal.
Taking a few steps back from the beautiful promenade, you can explore the narrow, cobbled streets of the old quarter, with some quirky craft shops and plenty of interesting local eateries. If you enjoy people watching, there are some lovely cafes in the city’s main plazas. Or, just part the port is the modern, colourful marina with neighbouring Praia da Rocha that boasts one of the longest sandy beaches in the Algarve.
Accessible Portimao
This Adventure Hunt in Portimao was designed with accessibility in mind. Utilising the Accessible Route means it is easier for those using wheelchairs, pushchairs, or with reduced mobility to enjoy the Adventure Hunt and a visit round Portimao. There are a few small sections of the hunt that do leave the Accessible Route but these have been kept to a minimum. This includes the smooth incline up to the main square, travelling down one cobbled lane, and crossing a few cobbled sections to rejoin the route. There is also no time limit or race against the clock to complete your Adventure Hunt. This allows people to take as many breaks as required and we encourage people to do so to enjoy the lovely surrounding that the Adventure Hunt is set in.
Cruise stopover in Portimao
With the starting point of the Adventure Hunt being only 500 metres from the cruise terminal, it’s also an ideal shore excursion for cruise passengers. Start whenever you like (no advance booking is required), take as long as you like – stopping for coffee, lunch, or a visit to the museum along the way – and then head back to the terminal in plenty of time for dinner on board the ship. Have fun solving puzzles with your family or partner or challenge some fellow cruise passengers to a competitive Hunt. It’s a unique and fun alternative to a more traditional guided city tour and a great way to see both the highlights and the ‘hidden gems’ of the city.
