Play Know: El Legado de las Tres Llaves es un escape room cultural ambientado en Valencia. A través de escenas 360º, recursos de realidad aumentada y espacios históricos recreados, investigarás el misterio de un reloj místico que conecta épocas y culturas. Para reactivarlo, deberás encontrar tres llaves temporales —Musulmana, Judía y Cristiana— resolviendo pruebas en lugares clave como la Catedral de Valencia, la Lonja de la Seda y la Sinagoga. Explora maquetas 3D de la Valencia romana y musulmana, escucha el ritmo de las campanas, descifra documentos y reúne coordenadas que te guiarán hasta el Laboratorio Medieval donde armarás el mecanismo final. Una guía, la Dra. Amparo Muntaner, te acompaña con pistas cuando lo necesites. Ideal para aprender jugando sobre el cruce de caminos culturales que forjó la ciudad.
