Treasure hunt and trail game in Marseille
Create an interactive GPS route in Marseille. Your participants explore Vieux-Port, Notre-Dame de la Garde, Calanques and Panier with riddles on their phones.
Playing in Marseille
Marseille spreads between sea and hills, and the trail game makes the most of this relief. The Vieux-Port serves as the starting point, the Panier offers its colourful lanes and stairways, and Notre-Dame de la Garde keeps watch over everything from its height. Each neighbourhood has its own identity, and the Calanques, outside the city, inspire more athletic routes. Relief and colour set the rhythm of the game, without ever letting you forget the sea.
The climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde is steady and the mistral can blow hard. Access to the Calanques may be restricted in summer because of fire risk: check before planning a route there.
Three route ideas in Marseille
Lanes and stairways of the Panier
A route that climbs and descends in the Panier: lanes, small squares, murals and façade details to spot. The riddles ask players to look up and question the neighbourhood.
Around the Vieux-Port with the family
A light trail game for families: boats to watch, quays to follow, clues near the fish market and other landmarks on the harbour, without any real difficulty of terrain.
Team challenge up to Notre-Dame de la Garde
For a group, a race to Notre-Dame de la Garde: the climb through streets and stairways, riddles along the way, a view over the city as a reward, then back to the harbour.
