Objectives

  • Promoting historical memory.
  • To raise awareness of key facts surrounding the bombing of Gernika.
  • To highlight places of interest in Gernika related to the bombing.
  • To respectfully share history using play as a tool.
  • To meet the witnesses who lived through the bombing of Gernika and give them the importance they deserve.
Steps
  • The game starts and ends in front of the museum.
  • Certain locations will be marked on the map; at some of these, there will be several boxes or objects.
  • Each group will have its own boxes. The location of the boxes differs from the padlock codes, so each group will have to focus on their own and copying what
    other groups are doing won’t help them.
  • Each group’s boxes will be identified by number and colour.
  • Inside and outside the boxes, there will be various objects and clues. These will only be used once. Sometimes you will need to use these objects at the place where you found them; at other times,
    however, you will need to use them later on.
  • The entire route must be completed within a set time limit, for which stopwatches will be provided to track the time remaining until the end.
