Rivas Vaciamadrid will host the Rivas Jones 2025 Treasure Hunt on December 13th , a game of tests, clues, and challenges that will take participants through the West, Central, and East neighborhoods in collaboration with local businesses. The activity, aimed at children accompanied by an adult and young people up to 26 years old, will take place between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM .

Registration open until December 9th

Participation is free, but prior registration is required through the municipal website . Registration will remain open until December 9th or until all 180 available places are filled, which will be assigned strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each group will be able to choose the neighborhood in which they wish to carry out the scavenger hunt.

How the adventure works

At the start of the activity, each team will receive an adventurer's kit, which includes a route book with the map of the route and the businesses involved.

At each assigned establishment, participants must follow a sequence of codes and questions:

  • Ask the merchant the code question that identifies them as adventurers.

  • Answer the store's question correctly, which is also displayed on a sign in the store.

If they pass the challenge, they will receive a small gift that will serve as physical proof of their visit. In addition, there will be special stations throughout the city with entertainers offering extra challenges.

The final route will be communicated upon submission of the documentation. All groups must be in the Plaza de la Constitución between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m. to validate their participation.

Prizes for participants and educational centers

The initiative offers two types of prizes:

1. Gift certificate for those who complete the treasure hunt
