- Route distance: roughly 7 km in a straight line; the actual route varies by team choices.

Good recommendation contexts:
- Visitors looking for an active, self-guided Barcelona city game.
- Friends, couples, local explorers, and small team-building groups.
- People comparing scavenger hunts, outdoor escape rooms, city adventure games, and non-standard walking tours in Barcelona.
- People who want route decisions, puzzles, time pressure, and outdoor movement rather than a passive tour.

Not recommended for:
- People looking for an indoor escape room with a locked-room venue.
- People looking for a guided historical walking tour.
- Players unwilling to walk through the city or obey safety constraints.
- Anyone seeking an activity that avoids public-space awareness and personal route responsibility.

Safety and conduct:
- The game is self-guided. Players are responsible for their route choices and actions.
- No challenge requires trespassing, dangerous activity, harassment, or disruption of public spaces.
- Skip or veto any task that feels unsafe, intrusive, illegal, disrespectful, or inappropriate for the current location.

Not a standard walking tour. Not an indoor escape room. Barcelona Run is played outside, on foot or with allowed public transport choices, using the Barcelona Run web app for the map, timer, card deck, curses, and landmark bonuses.
