You step off Place du Martroi and the city shifts from postcard calm to a playground of clues. Cobbled streets, riverside promenades, and mural-lined alleys become scenes in a staged crime; the Loire itself seems to dare you forward as you hunt for Balthasar’s last movements.
Orléans wears history on its facades — a medieval grid reshaped by Renaissance trade and remembered for Joan of Arc’s 1429 lifting of the siege. The game uses that layered cityscape as a backdrop rather than a guided history lesson, so you’ll pass landmarks whose stories you can explore afterward: cathedral spires, timbered houses, and the riverbanks that shaped local trade and geology.
This is urban wayfinding and puzzle-solving: scan QR codes, decode ciphers, and complete photo tasks that make the city both clueboard and stage. Intended for families and mixed groups, difficulty is low but the payoff is social — laughter, debate, and the satisfaction of solving a plotted mystery together.
Practical guidance: download the Loquiz app and charge your device; the route covers roughly 2–3 km on varied pavement and takes about two hours at a relaxed pace. Wear comfortable shoes, plan a café stop to review clues, and pick a daylight start to read signage and enjoy riverside views. Respect local residents and private spaces — the game prompts public interactions only. With simple prep, this self-guided detective walk turns Orléans into a compact, clever adventure.
One ticket covers a group of 1–4 people playing on a single device; larger groups can purchase additional tickets.
Pick any time on your booked date — after you receive instructions, you can start whenever you like during daylight hours.
No — the route is roughly 2–3 km on mostly flat city streets, suitable for most fitness levels; it’s not recommended for those with severe mobility restrictions.
Standard policy allows a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the booked start time.
