Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Calvi
To create a treasure hunt in Calvi, the places are already there: Citadelle de Calvi, Pro-cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Église Sainte-Marie-Majeure. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Calvi, 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.

Calvi is organised between the Genoese citadel, set on a promontory, and the marina below, where the terraces line up. The pro-cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Sainte-Marie-Majeure church stand in the upper town, not far from the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette chapel. The Salt tower completes the setting. A trail game here follows the bay, with the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. No quest is on offer yet in Calvi: the bay and the citadel are open for a first route.
Three possible quests in Calvi
Genoese citadel, the tour of the ramparts
A military heritage route at the citadel: ramparts, gates and views of the bay. Teams note details of the construction to work out the order of the stops.
Marina with the family
The youngest spot landmarks on the quay: boats, ropes, shop signs. The final stop is close to the citadel, with a short and flat route on the port.
Churches and chapel, an evening with friends
For an evening with friends, a circuit between the pro-cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Sainte-Marie-Majeure church and the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette chapel, with façade-reading riddles. The tourist office or a harbour association can include it in its events.
Calvi 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.
