Do I need to book ahead or can we just show up?

Book ahead through MUHBA before you go. This is a timed workshop, not a drop-in museum visit.

Is this more of a scavenger hunt or a guided tour?

It is closer to a clue game. Your family moves through the exhibition rooms together, looking for the missing objects and solving the mystery as you go.

My 7-year-old gets bored easily. Will she stay interested?

The puzzle format helps because there is a mission and you keep moving. If she likes detective games and exploring, it is a better fit than a standard museum tour.

How easy is it to get there without a car?

Very easy: Jaume I on L4 is right by Plaça del Rei. Driving into the Gothic Quarter is a hassle, so metro is the cleaner plan.

In this family workshop, kids and adults search the Barcelona Flashback exhibition for five missing objects using a clue game.
