Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Agen
To create a treasure hunt in Agen, the places are already there: Cathédrale Saint-Caprais, Église des Jacobins, Pont-canal d'Agen. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Agen, the quest is still to be written
Here is what it could look like: the stops already exist in the city, the riddles do not yet.

Agen stretches along the right bank of the Garonne, which the canal bridge crosses to carry the lateral canal. In the centre, Saint-Caprais cathedral, the Jacobins church, Saint-Hilaire church, the Chapelet tower and the Hôtel Hutot de Latour are enough to fill a circuit. The ground is mostly flat, the courtyards and squares are wide, and the river gives a clear direction for laying out a loop. There is no quest in Agen yet: the first creator will let people see the town differently from its markets alone.
Three possible quests in Agen
Canal bridge, a trail game over the water
A route along the canal and across the canal bridge, for a family or a group of friends. Teams note engineering landmarks, from the arches to the parapets, without leaving the towpaths.
Cathedral and Jacobins, a church trail
A heritage circuit between Saint-Caprais cathedral and the Jacobins church, with riddles about the outer vaults, the doorways and the bell towers, all visible from the street.
Chapelet tower and mansions, a team challenge
For a seminar, a game between the Chapelet tower, Saint-Hilaire church and the Hôtel Hutot de Latour, with teams ranked on what they record. An association or the town council can also use it as a route for schools.
Agen needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
A route that takes residents and visitors from one place to the next, at their own pace, on their phones. You choose the stops and what is told there: the content stays yours.
