Follow a route from Valencia’s historic centre through the Jardín del Turia and towards the City of Arts and Sciences. Along the way, discover monuments, bridges, sculptures and green public spaces while solving interactive challenges inspired by the Mediterranean Sea.
Decode Poseidon’s messages, collect five essence stones and learn about marine ecosystems, climate change and Valencia’s relationship with water.
Mission
The Mediterranean Sea is losing its ancient magic, and Poseidon needs your help. Warming waters, disappearing species and environmental threats are placing his kingdom in danger.
Poseidon has scattered five essence stones across Valencia, each holding a memory of what the sea once was. Start at Torres de Serranos and follow his trail through the Jardín del Turia towards the City of Arts and Sciences.
Solve ecological riddles, decode hidden messages and collect all five stones before the sea loses its voice forever. Bring them together near L’Oceanogràfic, complete the final ritual and restore the balance of the Mediterranean Sea.
