Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Provins
To create a treasure hunt in Provins, the places are already there: Tour César, Collégiale Saint-Quiriace, Tour Notre-Dame-du-Val. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Provins, 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.

Provins is played on two levels. The upper town, on its hill, gathers the Tour César, the Saint-Quiriace collegiate church and the ramparts; the quieter lower town keeps the Sainte-Croix church, the Tour Notre-Dame-du-Val and the hôtel de Vauluisant. Between the two, the slope sets the rhythm and naturally splits a route into two rounds. A quest created here can rely on these medieval stones, inventing nothing: everything can be read on the façades and towers. No quest exists yet: someone still has to be the first to show off these stones.
Three possible quests in Provins
Tour César and ramparts as a team
A heritage route on the upper town: the Tour César is the starting point, the Saint-Quiriace collegiate church the finish, and teams note stone details and defensive openings to solve each riddle.
Family in the rose garden of Provins
For children, an open-air investigation around the rose garden: colours and scents to spot, signs to read, then a stop at the Tour Notre-Dame-du-Val for the last clue, without a long walk.
Team challenge between upper and lower town
Two groups set off, one from the Sainte-Croix church, the other from the collegiate church, and converge on the hôtel de Vauluisant. A simple idea for a seminar or an outing with friends, with a final ranking. A town or a tourist office could make it a permanent route for visitors.
Provins needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
