Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Blois
To create a treasure hunt in Blois, the places are already there: Château royal de Blois, Escalier Denis-Papin, Cathédrale Saint-Louis. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Blois, 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.

Blois climbs from the Loire towards its royal castle, and it is the Denis-Papin stairway that links the lower town to the castle district. This relief gives a trail game a real progression: you start from the embankments, climb up, and come back down through the lanes. Between the Hôtel d'Alluye, the Hôtel d'Épernon and Saint-Louis cathedral, the Renaissance façades offer enough detail to feed several riddles without leaving the centre. There is no route here yet; whoever wants to show Blois differently will have no predecessor.
Three possible quests in Blois
Climbing the Denis-Papin stairway
A short and sporty challenge for a group of friends: each landing of the Denis-Papin stairway gives a clue, up to the top where the final round is played in front of the royal castle.
Renaissance mansions, the route of the curious
For lovers of art history: the Hôtel d'Alluye, the Hôtel d'Épernon and the Pavillon d'Anne de Bretagne form an observation circuit, where each riddle rests on a window, a decoration or a dormer.
Family walk between the Loire and the cathedral
Children follow a trail that starts at the Loire bank, passes Saint-Louis cathedral and returns through the lower streets. The stops stay close and leave time for a break. A tourist office would find an activity to offer visiting families.
Blois 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 stairway and the climbing streets tire the youngest quickly; plan a variant without a climb if needed. Near the Loire, wind and floods can change access to the embankments.
