You step off the quayside and the Adour pushes a cool breath through the streets — the city itself becomes a clockwork of alleys, plazas and timber-framed facades waiting to be read. In this outdoor escape game you and your team follow a digital game master, sifting clues along cobbled lanes, beside market stalls, and past chocolatiers whose windows drip history and sugar-sweet aromas.

You step off the quayside and the Adour pushes a cool breath through the streets — the city itself becomes a clockwork of alleys, plazas and timber-framed facades waiting to be read. In this outdoor escape game you and your team follow a digital game master, sifting clues along cobbled lanes, beside market stalls, and past chocolatiers whose windows drip history and sugar-sweet aromas.
Bayonne sits where the Nive meets the Adour, a port-turned-town whose chocolate trade dates to early modern maritime routes; the game leans on that past, casting you as apprentices chasing a national competition and the secrets of local chocolatiers. Geology here is gentle — river terraces and low coastal plains — but culture is dense: Basque language, red-and-white façades, and a food-first civic pride that rewards curious walkers.
Expect puzzle stops at civic squares, riverside promenades, and historic lanes; the route covers about 2–3 km of mostly flat terrain with cobbles and occasional steps. The story-driven clues reference local artisans, market ingredients, and Bayonne’s chocolate legacy, giving a useful scaffold to the city’s landmarks without spoiling the discoveries.
Practicalities: bring a charged smartphone (one per team required), a small notebook, and comfortable walking shoes; the experience runs roughly 105 minutes and is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible in most places. Go in the morning to beat crowds and shop hours, and leave a moment after the game to taste regional chocolate — the city rewards those who look closely and walk deliberately.
The game lasts about 105 minutes; teams typically finish within 1.5–2 hours depending on pace and stops.
