Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Charleroi
To create a treasure hunt in Charleroi, the places are already there: Hôtel de ville de Charleroi, Place Vauban, Église Saint-Christophe de Charleroi. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Charleroi, 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.

Charleroi was laid out around a square, and the plan can still be read in the lower town. The town hall, flanked by its belfry, looks onto the place Vauban; the Saint-Christophe church, with its verdigris dome, closes the view; the Palais des Beaux-Arts shows its name in large letters on its pale facade. Distances are short and the ground is flat, which suits a treasure hunt. The city has no quest yet: this page presents the places that could be part of one.
Three possible quests in Charleroi
Place Vauban and town hall for families
An easy trail for children on the place Vauban: the pattern on the ground, the water jets and the town hall facade carry the riddles, on a short and entirely flat route.
Dome and lettering, an architect's stroll
A circuit between the Saint-Christophe church and the Palais des Beaux-Arts for friends who like architecture: shapes to compare, lettering and ornaments to note, clues to copy.
A challenge between colleagues in the lower town
For a group of colleagues, a race between teams from the town hall to the Palais des Beaux-Arts: checkpoints to reach, riddles to validate, scores compared at the finish.
