Three hundred couples will participate on October 10 in Marbella in the first edition of the scavenger hunt 'So when's my ring?', which will award over €50,000 in prizes, including a white gold diamond ring.

On October 10, Marbella will be the setting for an original initiative that combines leisure, technology, and tourism. The first edition of the scavenger hunt 'So when's my ring?' will bring together 300 couples on a route through iconic locations in the municipality, with prizes valued at over €50,000.

The event, organized by the Marbella City Council in collaboration with local businesses, aims to turn the proposal of marriage and commitment into the focus of a playful experience. Registered couples will have to overcome twelve challenges inspired by 'escape rooms', using a mobile application designed specifically for the occasion.

The starting point will be the Parque de la Constitución, where participants will receive initial instructions. From there, they will traverse various urban spaces and commercial establishments, aiming to highlight the streets and squares of the municipality. The route is designed to be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their physical condition.

Once the first phase is completed, couples will return to the Parque de la Constitución, where they will enjoy catering services before facing the final stretch of the competition. The day will conclude with the award ceremony and a live musical performance.

The main prize is valued at over €15,000 and includes a white gold ring with a one-carat diamond. Additionally, rings and experiences contributed by collaborating businesses will be raffled off. All participating couples will receive gifts from the entities supporting the project.

According to municipal sources, the initiative aims to promote Marbella as a tourist and leisure destination while fostering local commerce and cultural heritage. The scavenger hunt combines technology, entertainment, and city promotion, involving establishments and urban spaces in a route that seeks to showcase lesser-known corners.

The mobile application, developed specifically for the event, will allow couples to unlock challenges and progress through the various locations. This digital tool is key to the game's dynamics, blending the tradition of marriage proposals with new technologies.

The Marbella City Council hopes that this first edition will be well-received and establish itself as an annual event on the city's calendar. Registrations are already open, and it is expected that the 300 spots will fill up quickly, given the interest generated by the prize amounts and the innovative nature of the proposal.

The scavenger hunt 'So when's my ring?' joins other initiatives aimed at boosting tourism and commerce that take place in Marbella throughout the year. The event is supported by several local businesses, which have contributed prizes and experiences for participants.

The organizers emphasize that the activity is open to all types of couples, with no age or physical condition limits, and that the route has been designed to be inclusive. The combination of clever challenges, technology, and the discovery of local heritage promises a different and entertaining day.

For more information, interested parties can consult the Marbella City Council website or the event's social media. Registrations are made through the official mobile application, where the rules and prizes are also detailed.
