Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Loches
To create a treasure hunt in Loches, the places are already there: Logis royal de Loches, Château de Loches, Collégiale Saint-Ours. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Loches, 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 city of Loches stands on a promontory above the Indre, with its logis royal, its château and the Saint-Ours collegiate church. Below, the old town is organised around the Saint-Antoine church, the Porte Picoys and the Maison du Centaure. This upper town and lower town make a natural trail game: climb through the old gates, come back down through the streets and finish the loop on foot with nothing artificial. No trail game exists there yet; the city is still waiting for the one that will bring it to life.
Three possible quests in Loches
Ramparts and gates of the royal city
A heritage route for fans of fortifications: the Porte Picoys, the logis royal and the château form a path where teams note architectural details in order to move forward.
Maison du Centaure, an investigation for kids
The youngest search for sculptures and ornaments around the Maison du Centaure and the Saint-Antoine church, then end their trail on the quieter banks of the Indre.
Colleagues' challenge, high against low
Two teams set off, one from the Saint-Ours collegiate church and the other from the old town, and must meet at the Porte Picoys with a complete set of clues. The town or the tourist office could see it as a route to offer to school groups.
