Itinerary
Day 1
Two-hour interactive track game across Strasbourg’s Grande Île. Meeting at Place Kléber, then app setup and 90-minute city hunt with challenges, finishing near Cathédrale Notre-Dame.
Meet at Place Kléber (start point)
Gather at the central square to confirm bookings, receive any last-minute instructions, and begin the game from the official start point.
Tips from local experts:
- Meet 10 minutes early so your group can gather and take a quick team photo beneath the Kléber statue — a great ‘before’ shot for later challenges.
- Place Kléber is flat and spacious — easy spot for groups to assemble without blocking pedestrian traffic. Good spot to split into teams if you're more than 4 people.
- If anyone needs last-minute supplies (phone charger, water), the nearby pedestrian streets (Rue du Vieux Marché aux Poissons) have convenience shops; keep phones ready and fully charged.
App setup & quick briefing (activate your unique game code)
Download or open the included app, enter the unique game code sent after booking, and complete a brief test challenge to ensure the team is synced before starting.
Tips from local experts:
- Turn on location and camera permissions for the app before starting to avoid delays during timed/photo challenges.
- If your group has mixed phones, nominate one reliable device as the team’s primary to submit answers faster — keep backup photos on another phone if possible.
- Grab a quick coffee or bottled water from a kiosk nearby if you need it; you’ll be walking and will want full battery and hydration for the 90-minute run.
Interactive city hunt across Grande Île (gameplay & checkpoints)
Follow the app-driven route across Grande Île. Solve observation questions, beat timed puzzles, and complete photo/video challenges that send you to local landmarks and hidden corners of Strasbourg.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan a loose route: aim to pass through Petite France, Ponts Couverts and Place Gutenberg — many challenges are clustered near these highlights. Walk briskly but enjoy team banter.
- Use quick photo editing on your phone (crop/rotate) before submitting if a challenge requires a specific framing — small edits can make the difference in judged photo tasks.
- Watch for local shop facades and plaques — observation questions often hinge on small details (dates, symbols). Split roles: one navigator, one photographer, one answer-submitter for speed.
Finish & score reveal near Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg
Conclude the game near the cathedral where teams compare scores, celebrate wins, and optionally take a group photo with the cathedral as backdrop.

- Tuesday8:30 AM – 5:45 PM
- Wednesday8:30 AM – 5:45 PM
- Thursday8:30 AM – 5:45 PM
- Friday8:30 AM – 5:45 PM
- Saturday8:30 AM – 5:45 PM
- Sunday2:00 – 5:15 PM
Tips from local experts:
- Head to the square facing Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg for the classic cathedral backdrop — it’s a great place for victory photos and short celebration.
- If you want to keep playing after the game, the nearby cafés and tarte flambée spots are ideal for a shared post-game meal (reserve for groups of 4+).
- The cathedral area can be busy; pick a quieter side (Rue Mercière) for team chats and to compare answers without blocking the main square.

Why this experience
You download an app. You activate a game code. Then your group becomes treasure hunters, racing across Strasbourg's Grande Île to solve observation puzzles, beat timed challenges, and snap photo evidence for points. The city transforms from a list of landmarks into a playground—you're not just visiting the cathedral; you're hunting for a detail on its facade. You're not just strolling through Petite France; you're answering riddles about what you see.
This isn't a tour. It's a game where Strasbourg is the board, and winning means moving fast, laughing hard, and discovering corners of the old town that most visitors walk past. Perfect for friends who like playful competition, or groups who want structure without a formal guide trailing behind.
Before you go
- Best time: Spring or early summer. Dry weather keeps phones safe, and long daylight means more time to complete challenges.
- Budget: Check the booking widget for pricing. No additional costs once booked. Bring water and snacks if you want them en route.
- Difficulty: Moderate. 2 hours of walking (app-guided, so stops included), mostly flat with some stairs. Participation requires a smartphone per team with full battery.
- What to bring: Fully charged smartphone with camera (backup battery recommended), comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, light jacket if cool, sunscreen.
- Getting there: Meet at Place Kléber at 10:00. The start point is flat, central, and easy to spot. Arrive 5-10 minutes early so your team can sync phones.
- Accessibility: Grande Île is mostly flat and paved. Challenge locations vary (cathedral steps, riverside paths, neighborhoods)—notify the operator if someone has mobility limits and they can suggest adaptations.
Frequently asked questions
What if our phones die mid-game? Bring a backup battery. The app uses location services heavily. One team member can be the primary phone user and photo-submitter while others navigate.
Can we split into smaller teams? Yes. The app allows multiple teams to compete from a single booking. If your group is larger than 4-6, splitting into two teams with separate rooms is common—you compare scores afterward over drinks.
Are there riddles, or just photo tasks? Both. Observation questions ("What year is carved above this door?"), timed puzzles ("Identify three colours on this façade in 60 seconds"), and photo/video challenges ("Capture your team under the cathedral spire"). Variety keeps energy up.
