Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Dax
To create a treasure hunt in Dax, the places are already there: Fontaine chaude, Arènes de Dax, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Dax. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Dax, 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.

Dax is a spa town set on the Adour. Its Fontaine Chaude, in the very centre, flows in the open air, not far from Notre-Dame cathedral and the Gallo-Roman walls. The arenas, in the parc Théodore-Denis, recall the local bullfighting tradition, and the Hôtel Splendid, like the musée de Borda, add street landmarks. Everything is covered on the flat, which makes Dax a pleasant ground for all ages. No quest is on offer yet; you can be the first to show Dax through its fountains and its stones.
Three possible quests in Dax
Fontaine Chaude, an investigation in the centre
A family trail game around the Fontaine Chaude: children observe steam, basin and surroundings, then follow a thread to Notre-Dame cathedral, a few steps away.
Arenas and park, a team challenge
For a team outing, a race between the arenas, the parc Théodore-Denis and the musée de Borda, with riddles about shapes, inscriptions and entrance numbers.
Gallo-Roman walls, a heritage circuit
An ancient route that follows the remains of the walls, near the cathedral and the Hôtel Saint-Martin-d'Agès, for history lovers who enjoy reading stone. The tourist office or the town can offer it to spa guests and residents.
Dax 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.
