Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Angers
To create a treasure hunt in Angers, the places are already there: Château d'Angers, Maison d'Adam, Cathédrale Saint-Maurice. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Angers, 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.

In Angers, the dark stone castle rises above the Maine, facing an old town of lanes and timber-framed houses, including the Maison d'Adam. Saint-Maurice cathedral, the Logis Pincé, the Ursulines chapel and the Jardin du Mail make up a varied circuit. The ground is gently sloped, the centre is easy to walk, and the river offers a constant landmark for finding your way. There is no quest in Angers yet: the first to appear will show the town to its residents.
Three possible quests in Angers
Angers castle, a team investigation
A heritage quest around the castle ramparts: teams note the shapes of the towers, the moats and the bands of stone to work out what comes next on the route.
Maison d'Adam and timber-framed lanes
For children, a hunt for carved details on the Maison d'Adam and the neighbouring façades, then a pause in the Jardin du Mail, where the last riddle is played.
Mansions and chapels, a circuit for the curious
Between the Logis Pincé, the Ursulines chapel and the Hôtel Mame, a calmer route for friends or colleagues who like reading façades and solving logic riddles. A heritage association or a teacher could take it up as it stands.
Angers 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.
