Further along it reaches Fort Santiago, at the point where the river meets the bay. It is a detective game you walk yourself, with the old quarter as the setting. Intramuros is flat and enclosed and the distances inside the walls are short, so this works for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues, and one person can play it without difficulty.
