Do I need a guide or map to complete this game?

No. The clues provide exact turn-by-turn directions to each landmark, so you won't need GPS, a paper map, or a live guide. You can solve it entirely independently.

How long does the tour actually take?

The stated duration is 1 hour and 20 minutes, though this varies based on how long you spend at each site, photo stops, and café breaks. Most groups take 1.5–2 hours.

What landmarks will I see?

You'll visit the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, Notre-Dame Church, Musée d'Aquitaine, Port de la Lune (UNESCO district), Place de la Bourse with its reflecting pool, and several other hidden gems across the Old Town.

Is this suitable for children?

Yes. The interactive clue-solving format makes it engaging for families and younger visitors. The 1 hour 20 minute length is manageable for kids, and the self-guided pace lets you adjust to their needs.

How do I access the clues and start the game?

After booking, you'll receive full instructions and clues via email or a mobile app. Download or print them before you start, then follow the directions from your first clue location.

Is this a private tour or group activity?

It's a self-guided exploration game you complete at your own pace with friends, family, or a partner. You won't be part of a scheduled group tour with a guide.
