Treasure hunt and trail game in Pau
Create an interactive GPS route in Pau. Your participants explore boulevard des Pyrénées, château Henri IV, funiculaire and Gave de Pau with riddles on their phones.
Playing in Pau
Pau looks towards the mountains: the boulevard des Pyrénées opens, in clear weather, onto the whole range, and the château Henri IV stands nearby. Between the upper town, the funicular that descends to the station and the banks of the Gave, the relief naturally shapes the route: look out, go down, then follow the water. A trail game takes advantage of these changes of level to vary the moods. Each stop offers a different view.
Views of the Pyrenees depend on the weather: plan riddles that do not rely on the horizon. Also check the funicular service before the day of the game.
