Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Riom
To create a treasure hunt in Riom, the places are already there: Beffroi de Riom, Basilique Saint-Amable, Musée Mandet. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Riom, 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.

Riom is recognised by its dark stone façades, quarried in the neighbouring volcanic region. The belfry, the Saint-Amable basilica, the fontaine Desaix and the maison des Consuls set the rhythm of a dense old centre, where private mansions, such as the hôtel Dufraisse du Cheix, follow one another. The musée Mandet and the manufacture des tabacs add other eras. A trail game follows very readable streets here, on almost flat ground. No quest has been created in Riom, and its black stone streets are open to whoever wants to show them off.
Three possible quests in Riom
Belfry and fontaine Desaix with the family
An easy trail for children: they look for details on the belfry, the fontaine Desaix and the neighbouring façades, with short instructions and visual landmarks.
Black stone and private mansions
A heritage route for a group of friends: maison des Consuls, hôtel Dufraisse du Cheix, Saint-Amable basilica. The riddles rely on shades, sculptures and openings.
Manufacture des tabacs, an industrial challenge
For a seminar, a team game around the manufacture des tabacs and the musée Mandet, with architecture riddles and façade surveys to complete. An association or the town can adapt it for local schoolchildren.
Riom needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
