Treasure hunt and trail game in Tours
Create an interactive GPS route in Tours. Your participants explore Vieux Tours, cathédrale Saint-Gatien, Place Plumereau and Châteaux de la Loire with riddles on their phones.
Playing in Tours
Between the Loire and the Cher, Tours gathers in a single pedestrian area its half-timbered houses, its lively squares and its Gothic cathedral. The Vieux Tours suits observation games: carved beams, narrow lanes, façade details. The nearby Loire offers breathing space to end a game, and the châteaux of the surroundings give ideas for extending the weekend. Teams move in small stages, never far from the terraces and squares for long.
The terraces of the place Plumereau fill up in the evening and at weekends. Scout the route during the day, when the square is clearer, to place your riddles without disturbance.
