The Chest of Three Keys
The corsair's urban testament
📱 1 to 10 phones · 1 team per phone · Independent codes
Before the cathedral bell tolls, the soul treasure of the greatest corsair of the Canaries awaits discovery.
A UNESCO World Heritage city. A story no one has told you.
Visitors to La Laguna come for its colourful alleys, its bars and its university buzz. They leave without having scratched the surface. Behind every volcanic stone facade hides an episode of the true history of the Canaries — and at the heart of it all, one man. Amaro Pargo. Corsair. Merchant. Man of faith.
A game, a guided tour and a city guide — all in one
You're not just buying an escape game. You're carrying a living city guide — historical anecdotes, forgotten legends, key monuments, hidden architecture — unfolding step by step as you walk.
At each stop, places ordinary guides miss — secret façades, sculpted crests, alleys steeped in history.
Every riddle is rooted in a real historical fact or local legend. You leave with dozens of stories to tell.
Learn to read buildings — flamboyant Gothic, Baroque, Art Deco — like a real art historian, while having fun.
Walk through the city like a novel's character — every alley becomes a stage, every square a theatre.
A voice walks with you at every step, tells the story of each place, reads clues, adds a cinematic feel.
Keep access to the guide & game for 1 year. Come back any time, share it with friends.
« You will not leave this city the way you entered it. »

« "La Laguna resembles no other city. It is shrouded in mist like a secret. Its basalt stones have absorbed centuries of plots, riches and prayers — and they have not yet said everything." »— — On the trail of Amaro Pargo, corsair and mystery of Tenerife
The man the Canaries forgot to introduce
Amaro Pargo was not the pirate of adventure novels. He was infinitely more complex: a corsair commissioned by the Spanish Crown, a businessman whose fortune stretched from Cuba to Cadiz, and a deeply religious man.
He was born and died in La Laguna. He knew every stone, every alley, every shadowy corner. And according to legend, before dying, he hid something — not gold, but something far more precious.
The UNESCO city is your treasure map. Its monuments are your clues. Its history is your compass.
The Route
5 stages through the city
The gameplay: AR, camera, hidden clues
At each stop, open your phone camera: an augmented reality character appears on the façade and speaks your language. Hunt the clue — it materializes as golden letters on the real wall or floats in front of you. When you find it, the phone vibrates, an AR chest opens and reveals your answer fragment. 8 stops, 8 clues to find with the camera, 1 final code.
The stops on your route are a surprise. You'll discover them one by one, guided by your phone, starting from the meeting point.
