Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Autun
To create a treasure hunt in Autun, the places are already there: Porte d'Arroux, Porte Saint-André, Théâtre romain d'Autun. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Autun, 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.

Autun has kept two gates of the ancient town walls, the porte d'Arroux and the porte Saint-André, as well as a Roman theatre and the Temple of Janus, of which a large stretch of wall still stands. Saint-Lazare cathedral and its fountain represent the medieval side. For a quest, the appeal is simple: you pass from Antiquity to the Middle Ages in a few streets, without changing district, with clearly visible remains. Nobody has yet built a quest around these remains: the field is open to show them first.
Three possible quests in Autun
Gallo-Roman Autun, the route of the gates
A quest following the ancient town walls: porte d'Arroux, porte Saint-André and the Roman theatre. Teams work out the order of the visit from architectural landmarks.
Temple of Janus, an investigation for children
A trail in the nearby countryside and along the paths that lead to the Temple of Janus, designed for the youngest, with simple clues to find and planned breaks.
Saint-Lazare cathedral, a heritage challenge
For friends or colleagues, a circuit linking Saint-Lazare cathedral, its fountain and Notre-Dame church, with riddles about doorways and outer decoration. An archaeology association or the tourist office can make it a regular event.
