Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Saint-Omer
To create a treasure hunt in Saint-Omer, the places are already there: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saint-Omer, Ruines de l'abbaye Saint-Bertin, Église du Saint-Sépulcre. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Saint-Omer, 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.

Saint-Omer grew around its Notre-Dame cathedral, very close to the Saint-Sépulcre church, the Jesuit chapel and the hôtel Sandelin. A little further away, the ruins of the Saint-Bertin abbey raise their tower in an open park. Around the town spreads the Marais audomarois, where market gardening is done by boat. A quest can play on these two sides: stone in the centre, water close by. No quest yet in Saint-Omer; a passionate resident can be the first to show off this heritage.
Three possible quests in Saint-Omer
Ruins of Saint-Bertin, an open-air investigation
A calm route in and around the remains of the Saint-Bertin abbey: teams note the forms of the architecture, then head to the Notre-Dame cathedral for the last riddle.
Church, chapel, museum: the heritage tour
For history fans, a circuit between the Saint-Sépulcre, the Jesuit chapel and the museum of the hôtel Sandelin. The riddles cover façades and portals visible from the street.
Family walk at the edge of the marsh
Children set off from the centre on a short trail ending near the canals of the Marais audomarois, with clues about boats, plants and bridges. A local association or the town could make it a permanent route.
Saint-Omer needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
