Play on Embers:

Central Route: many years ago, a beautiful story called “Grandpa Peak's Gift” was written to show children and families the heritage of Arucas and this is a tribute that we want to pay him. To do this, the park elf will accompany them along the route, where they will have to overcome a series of objectives such as searching for objects with augmented reality, taking and sharing selfies or answering questions, until they complete all the missions.

Coastal route and surroundings: you will find a lot of interesting information and you will be able to participate in my treasure hunt. The treasure hunt consists of collecting the coins on the 3D map - to get them simply touch them - and then throw them into the chest at the assigned points of interest playing AR LAUNCH. These points will be “capturable”, that is, they will be the property of the players who have thrown the most coins into them. Will you be able to get them all?

Each Point of Interest has photographs, texts and the possibility of rating and posting a review to help other travelers.
