Unleash the Adventure!
Es Mercadal Treasure Hunt
Embark on an Epic Adventure: Welcome to the Es Mercadal Treasure Hunt!
Easy
In 1301 King James II of Mallorca ordered the establishment of a market in the centre of Menorca between Mahón and Ciutadella. This is how the town of Es Mercadal was founded, and from where it got its name.
Lace up your boots and get ready to traverse cobblestone streets (okay, maybe not cobblestoned, but we're creating a vibe here!) and winding alleys (there are plenty of these) as you uncover the secrets hidden within these ancient streets.
​
For those with a thirst for exploration and a spring in their step, this hunt is tailor-made for you! Whether you're a seasoned explorer or a newcomer to the thrill of the chase, our treasure hunt promises excitement and discovery around every corner.
​
Before you embark on this grand adventure, be sure to follow these steps to get essential tips and guidance:
Arriving by car? We recommend you park in the car park at Carrer de la Verge del Toro (just off the ME1 near the windmill restaurant), to start your quest.
Now, onto the instructions:
First things first, equip yourself with the essentials: download the treasure map and gambit answer sheet before you embark on your journey. And don't forget to bring along your trusty mobile or tablet with internet access – your portal to the thrilling world of our treasure hunt.
​
Set your sights on the starting point marked on the map and follow the trail of orange arrows, answering gambits as you go. With each riddle solved and challenge conquered, you'll inch closer to victory!
​
At the journey's end, gambit 13 marks the culmination of your quest. Complete your gambit answer sheet and unlock the final puzzle, where the true treasure lies – the satisfaction of a quest well-earned. Though physical treasures may elude your grasp, fear not! Every gambit is at your fingertips, with their approximate locations conveniently marked on the treasure map.
​​
And here's where your adventure takes on a noble twist: while this treasure hunt comes to you at no cost, should you find yourself captivated by the thrill of the chase, consider making a donation to one of the island charities listed at the end of your journey. It's a small gesture that makes a world of difference in preserving the magic of Menorca for generations to come.
