Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Bayeux
To create a treasure hunt in Bayeux, the places are already there: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux, Maison d'Adam et Ève, Maisons à pans de bois de la rue des Cuisiniers. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Bayeux, 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.

Bayeux is a human-sized town, whose centre gathers within a few streets Notre-Dame cathedral, the bishop's palace and timber-framed houses, notably on the rue des Cuisiniers. The Maison d'Adam et Ève, the grand Hôtel d'Argouges and the Hôtel du Cadran add other façades to look at. A trail game here follows these streets without detours, with the Aure as a backdrop and the famous tapestry as a reference known to the public. Bayeux has no trail game in its streets yet; it is up to you, if you feel like it, to show these façades.
Three possible quests in Bayeux
Timber frames of the rue des Cuisiniers
An observation route for fans of façades: each timber-framed house gives a riddle about its beams, its storeys or its decoration, as far as the Maison d'Adam et Ève.
Notre-Dame cathedral, the children's trail
Children look for the doorways, sculptures and spires of Notre-Dame cathedral, then end their route beside the Aure, only a few minutes away.
Town mansions, a company challenge
For a seminar or an outing among colleagues, a circuit between the Hôtel d'Argouges, the Hôtel du Cadran and the bishop's palace, with logic riddles based on outside details. A teacher or a tourist office could turn it into an outing that is easy to supervise.
Bayeux 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.

Play elsewhere in the meantimeWhat to know on the ground
The pavements are narrow in the old streets, especially when crowds are large. Spread the teams over several routes so they do not get in each other's way.
