Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Dinan
To create a treasure hunt in Dinan, the places are already there: Tour de l'Horloge, Basilique Saint-Sauveur, Remparts de Dinan. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Dinan, 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.

Dinan overlooks the Rance from its plateau, and its ramparts run down to the port by the cobbled rue du Jerzual. Above, the Clock tower, Saint-Sauveur basilica, Saint-Malo church and the Maison de la Mère Pourcel liven up the centre; below, the port and its viaduct open the view. The height difference gives a quest an obvious shape: descent by the Jerzual, return along the ramparts. Dinan has no quest yet, and nothing stops you being the first to show the descent to the Rance.
Three possible quests in Dinan
Rue du Jerzual, the descent to the port
A family descent that follows the rue du Jerzual: old houses, workshops, views of the Rance. Children look for shop signs, with the climb back left to the teams' choice.
Ramparts and the Clock tower
A heritage route for friends or colleagues: Clock tower, Saint-Sauveur basilica, stretches of ramparts. The riddles rest on masonry details and perspectives.
Convents and churches of Dinan
For those curious about history, a trail between the Cordeliers convent, the Ursulines convent and Saint-Malo church, with questions about the bell towers, doorways and visible gardens. A tourist office or a local association would make it a seasonal activity.
Dinan needs a quest. Who will launch it?

The rue du Jerzual is steep and cobbled: it suits pushchairs and people with reduced mobility poorly. Plan an alternative route, and think about the climb back.
