  • Sources cited: municipal archives, photo collections

Riddle trails

A character leads, the city answers.

Élise, Charlotte and the others tell their neighbourhood's story and set their riddles: connect clues, put dates in order, spot a detail on a façade.

  • Varied puzzles: quiz, rebus, sliding puzzle, timeline, links
  • Progressive hints when you're stuck
  • Points, levels and a travel journal

Puzzle: connect the clues of the silk workers' district

Treasure hunts

Hidden checkpoints, a compass, your legs.

No map holding your hand: a direction, a distance, and a place to recognise when you get there. The validation zone adapts to GPS accuracy.

  • Live compass and distance
  • Hunt journal and discovered places
  • Solo, as a couple or with friends
