Treasure hunt and trail game in Nantes

Create an interactive GPS route in Nantes. Your participants explore Machines de l'île, château des Ducs, passage Pommeraye and île de Nantes with riddles on their phones.

Playing in Nantes

Nantes loves imagination, and it shows in the city: giant mechanical creatures on the island, the ornate façades of the passage Pommeraye, the château des Ducs beside the pedestrian streets. A trail game here alternates whimsical worlds with solid heritage. The Loire and the former shipyards of the island shape the routes, and the tramway easily links the island to the city centre. Families and company teams each find a suitable angle, from a playful investigation to a timed challenge.

The Île de Nantes and the city centre can be linked on foot, but the tramway saves the walk between two stops. If you want to go inside the Machines de l'île, check the opening days.
