Three quests,
three sides of Aruba

Each one is a walking story you unlock and play on your phone: history, mystery, and a secret waiting at the end. Two are live now. A third follows, and more island stories are on the drawing board.

Mr. Pineapple's Treasure Hunt

A talking treasure hunt for families, told by a storyteller, a grumpy seagull and one very sneaky iguana. Every kid gets a job, every stop is a challenge on the real beach, the treasure map fills in fruit by fruit — and the golden finale ends with a FREE smoothie at the real Pineapple Express.

The capital

The Blue Horses of Oranjestad

Eight blue horses stand in the capital's streets, and they remember everything: horse traders and pirates, gold fever, a royal toast — and the name locals never stopped using. Follow the herd to the bay and learn it.

Pricing

One quest, or
the whole island

A single price covers your whole group, play together on one phone. Compare that to €8–20 per person for the typical tour app, or $30–45 a head for the guided mural tour.

How does Aruba Quest compare to booking a guided tour?

To be clear: we don’t offer guided tours. Aruba Quest is a self-guided game on your own phone — no guide, no group, no fixed schedule. The left column shows what a typical guided tour in Aruba costs, just for comparison.

FAQ

Good questions

What is a self-guided walking quest?
Think of it as a walking tour and a scavenger hunt in one. You buy the quest, open it on your phone, and walk from stop to stop solving clues hidden on real walls and buildings, while two local hosts tell you the story. No guide, no group, no schedule.
How much does it cost?
One quest is $24.99 for your whole group playing on one phone, and launch code BONBINI20 takes 20% off right now. The Island Pass will bundle all three quests at a better price when they launch. No per-person pricing.
Do I need to download an app?
No. The quest opens right in your phone's browser and preloads so it keeps working even with weak signal on the street.
How long is the San Nicolas quest?
About 60–90 minutes at a relaxed pace, roughly 1.2 km of flat, easy walking, 13 stops plus 1 optional bonus stop, ending near Charlie's Bar.
Is it kid-friendly?
Very. The puzzles are made to be solved together, word hunts, find-the-detail challenges, photo missions. One price covers the whole family.
How do I get the quest after paying?
Instantly. Your access link opens right in your phone's browser the moment checkout completes, and we email it to you too, so you can start on the spot or save it for tomorrow.
What if we get stuck on a puzzle?
Every stop has a built-in hint, and if you're really stuck, a "show me the exact spot" map link. Nobody stays stuck; the town always wins you back.
What if it rains, or our plans change?
Your quest never expires, pause and pick it up tomorrow, or next trip. Never started at all? Full refund within 14 days. We call it the sun-proof promise. Full policy here.
Who narrates the quest?
Rudy & Rosa, two real locals who grew up on these streets, recorded in San Nicolas, accents and all. They walk beside you the whole way. Turn the volume up and let the phone speaker carry them. Even better: one purchase covers up to 4 phones, so everyone can open the link on their own device and listen together. Subtitles are always on screen too.
What if my battery dies halfway?
Your progress saves on the phone automatically, stamps, puzzles, everything. Charge up, reopen your link, and the story continues exactly where it stopped.
Can we split it over multiple days?
Absolutely. Your progress saves automatically, stamps and all. Do half today, finish at golden hour tomorrow.
When's the best time to go?
Morning before the midday sun, or golden hour in the late afternoon. Tip from the locals: many San Nicolas spots rest on Sundays, weekdays and Saturdays give you the full experience.
