Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Mons
To create a treasure hunt in Mons, the places are already there: Grand-Place de Mons, Beffroi de Mons, Collégiale Sainte-Waudru de Mons. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Mons, 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.

In Mons, the Grand-Place acts as the town's living room: the town hall, the café terraces and the nearby lanes make a natural ground for a treasure hunt. The baroque belfry crowns the neighbouring hill and can be seen from afar; the Sainte-Waudru collegiate church, in pale stone, stands lower down, and the Mundaneum keeps the trace of a large documentation project. Teams alternate squares, stairs and cobbled streets. The city has no quest yet: this page presents the places that could be part of one.
Three possible quests in Mons
Grand-Place and town hall for families
A trail for children around the Grand-Place: details of the town hall to find, signs and cobbles to observe, and a last riddle on the square itself, which is flat and easy to reach.
From the belfry to Sainte-Waudru
A heritage route that climbs to the belfry and comes back down to the Sainte-Waudru collegiate church. Teams compare towers, vaults and facades to unlock each stage in their logbook.
A case to solve on the trail of the Mundaneum
For curious friends or colleagues, an investigation around the Mundaneum: index cards, filing systems and clues hidden in the nearby streets, with a break before the scores are compared.
Mons needs a quest. Who will launch it?

The belfry stands on a height and the streets of the centre are cobbled. For young children and people with reduced mobility, it is better to stay around the Grand-Place.
