A playful peek into Can Picafort’s secret world
If you’re looking for a family-friendly activity that combines a walk through Can Picafort with storytelling and scavenger fun, the “The Sweet Magical Creatures” game by Fun And Secrets might just be worth your while. For around $15 per group, up to six people, you’ll spend about two hours exploring the town with a clear focus on adventure, riddles, and storytelling rather than traditional sightseeing. It’s designed to entertain children aged five to thirteen while offering parents a chance to relax and enjoy the stories.
What I appreciate most about this experience are the inventive stories about magical creatures and the interactive element of riddles and songs that keep kids engaged. The fact that the activity is guided through an app with audio stories in multiple languages—English, Spanish, German, and French—adds a modern, accessible touch that makes it easy to follow along. Plus, it’s a private group experience, meaning you won’t be mixed with strangers, which is a real bonus for families seeking a personalized activity.
One minor consideration, though, is that some parts of the route aren’t entirely accessible or straightforward. A review pointed out that certain locations on the route were inaccessible and that, at times, you might need to walk extra to return to your starting point, which could be tiring for very young children or those with mobility issues. Still, for most families, this is a low-stakes adventure that’s more about fun and discovery than strict logistics.
This tour offers a delightful way to see Can Picafort through a different lens—one filled with magic, stories, and local legends—and it’s an excellent choice for families wanting a memorable, interactive outing.

Discovering Can Picafort Through Magical Tales
Walking through Can Picafort might not normally be the first thing on your list, but this experience offers a fresh perspective. I love how it transforms a simple stroll into an adventure filled with fantastical stories about magical creatures that supposedly inhabit the area. The guided route, which covers about three kilometers, is peppered with stops where you solve riddles or assemble puzzles, keeping everyone on their toes. The stories are professionally written and accessible via an app, which means you can listen at your own pace, re-read stories, or enjoy the accompanying songs.
The main draw here is the storytelling. These are not just fairy tales but are crafted to teach children about local culture, traditions, and legends—an excellent way for young ones to connect with the place. The app also offers videos that add visual stimulation, making the tales even more engaging. The stories about magical creatures are meant to be enjoyed during and after the walk, giving your family multiple ways to connect with the content.
The local guides, though not explicitly named, do a solid job of guiding you along a predefined route through some side streets, revealing secrets and stories at each stop. It’s worth noting that in one review, a participant mentioned some locations being inaccessible or not part of a perfect loop, which meant additional walking—around ten minutes—to return to the starting point. This is something to consider if you’re traveling with very small children or elderly family members.
The cost of $15 per group feels fair considering the interactive nature and the inclusion of audio stories, riddles, and songs. Compare this with more traditional sightseeing tours that often cost much more for less personalized content. You just need a smartphone, and the activity is private—no strangers to contend with—which is ideal for families wanting a tailored experience.

What to Expect on the Route
The route itself is about three kilometers long, which is manageable even for younger children, especially since it’s sprinkled with engaging activities. The experience lasts around two hours, which is enough to keep kids entertained without overwhelming them. The journey begins at a flexible meeting point near your accommodation or a designated spot, with instructions sent via email about one hour before the start.
Throughout the walk, you’ll visit various points of interest linked to the magical stories. For example, some stops involve solving riddles or assembling simple jigsaw puzzles—perfect for keeping children’s minds active and engaged. When you reach each station, you’re rewarded with motivational sayings, short songs, and exciting stories that explore the adventures of the magical creatures.
The stories add a layer of local education, as they include tidbits about the traditions and festivals of the islanders. These elements make the experience both entertaining and educational, giving children (and adults) a reason to see the surroundings with new eyes.
One notable feature is the audio app, which offers stories in four languages. This multilingual aspect broadens accessibility and allows families from different backgrounds to enjoy the tales without language barriers. You can also listen to the stories multiple times, making it a flexible learning tool.
Post-activity, you can revisit the stories and audio clips anytime. This means the fun doesn’t have to end when your walk does; your children can listen to their favorite stories again back at your accommodation or during quiet moments.
Accessibility and Practical Tips
While this tour is an excellent interactive experience, a few practical points are worth noting. The route, in some parts, might not be fully accessible for strollers or those with mobility challenges. Some participants in reviews mentioned that certain locations were inaccessible or that walking for extra minutes was necessary to complete the loop. If you’re traveling with very young children or elderly relatives, consider this when planning.
The activity is private, which I think is a huge plus—families won’t be distracted by strangers, and guides can tailor the experience slightly to your pace. The only requirement is a smartphone to access the stories and participate in the riddles.
The activity is also flexible in timing: you can start within a 48-hour window after booking, offering some wiggle room if weather looks uncertain or if your plans change unexpectedly.
Who Will Love This Experience?
If you’re traveling with children who enjoy stories, riddles, and discovering secrets, this is a hit. It’s perfect for families who want a laid-back, engaging activity that isn’t just sightseeing but also storytelling and play. The activity’s educational tidbits about local legends make it appealing if you’re interested in a more meaningful connection to the place.
However, if your family prefers traditional sightseeing or historical tours, this might feel too playful. Also, those with mobility issues should consider the route’s accessibility. But overall, it’s a budget-friendly, charming way to explore Can Picafort through a magical lens.
