Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Bastia
To create a treasure hunt in Bastia, the places are already there: Vieux-Port de Bastia, Citadelle de Bastia, Palais des Gouverneurs. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Bastia, 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.

Bastia is played across two districts: the Vieux-Port, with Saint-Jean-Baptiste church as a backdrop, and the Genoese citadel, overlooked by the Governors' palace. In the citadel, the pro-cathedral of Sainte-Marie and the oratory of the Immaculée-Conception, with its rich interior decoration, recall the town's past. Between the two, stairways and the place Saint-Nicolas link the levels. A trail game here alternates harbour and heights. No quest exists yet in Bastia; by opening the first, you can show the port and the citadel.
Three possible quests in Bastia
Vieux-Port, an investigation of boats and façades
A family trail around the Vieux-Port: façade colours, boat names, stairways. The riddles are readable at a child's height and the final stop is in front of Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
Genoese citadel, the grand tour
A history route for friends or colleagues: Governors' palace, pro-cathedral of Sainte-Marie, oratory of the Immaculée-Conception. Teams look at doors, walls and coats of arms.
Stairways and squares, an orientation challenge
A team game linking the port to the citadel by stairways and little squares, with orientation riddles and a ranking by time and accuracy. A tourist office or a neighbourhood association could turn it into self-guided visits.
