The story
Every element of the ofrenda has a meaning: sugar skulls bearing names, the “bones” on the pan de muerto, the path of marigolds.
Completing the altar is the only way for the spirit to leave in peace.
How it works
The audience puts the right names on the sugar skulls, solves a visual crossword, decodes the meaning of the “bones” on the bread and arranges marigolds in the right pattern.
All while tasting traditional Day of the Dead food.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. The hosts explain the origin and meaning of the legend or tradition, and where the symbols, rituals and customs that appear during the night come from.
