Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Chinon
To create a treasure hunt in Chinon, the places are already there: Forteresse royale de Chinon, Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde, Collégiale Saint-Mexme. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Chinon, 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.

The royal fortress of Chinon stretches along its plateau above the Vienne, and the old town spreads at its feet in narrow lanes lined with timber-framed houses. There is also the Sainte-Radegonde chapel, partly carved into the rock, the painted cellars and Saint-Mexme collegiate church. For a quest, the contrast is useful: the height of the fortress on one side, the flat quays on the other. The town has no quest yet: you can be the first to show its lanes.
Three possible quests in Chinon
Timber frames and lanes of the old town
An observation game for heritage fans: timber-framed houses, Maison rouge, lanes towards the river. Each riddle rests on a detail of a façade or an old shop sign.
Children's treasure hunt under the fortress
The youngest look for clues on the ramparts and on the path that climbs to the royal fortress, with the Saint-Georges fort as the last stop and a pause on the bank of the Vienne.
Evening with friends, from rock to river
For a group of friends or a team, a route in two parts: first the Sainte-Radegonde chapel and the painted cellars, then the descent to Saint-Mexme collegiate church and the water's edge. A tourist office or a local association can offer it to passing visitors.
