The square smells of roasted chestnuts and citrus as the city threads itself in fairy lights. Under Montpellier’s big tree, teams huddle around their phones, scanning stalls and listening for a cue that starts the next offbeat challenge. The game routes sweep through the Écusson — the old medieval core — where narrow streets open into plazas crowded with wooden chalets.

The square smells of roasted chestnuts and citrus as the city threads itself in fairy lights. Under Montpellier’s big tree, teams huddle around their phones, scanning stalls and listening for a cue that starts the next offbeat challenge. The game routes sweep through the Écusson — the old medieval core — where narrow streets open into plazas crowded with wooden chalets.
Montpellier grew from a medieval university town into a lively port-proximate city on the Hérault plain; its stone facades reflect the limestone geology of southern Occitanie and the bright light of the nearby Mediterranean. Christmas markets here mix regional crafts, Provençal santons and contemporary street food; the format of a self-guided, app-driven hunt modernizes a long French tradition of market gatherings and local artisanship.
Expect photo tasks, multiple-choice culture questions, and performative missions (rewrite a carol, stage a silly tableau) that push teams to engage with stallholders and each other. The experience is essentially a walking scavenger hunt: flat, urban surfaces, lots of stops, and bursts of social performance.
Practical guidance: download the provided app and redeem your unique code before you arrive, carry a charged smartphone and a small power bank, and plan the two-hour window during quieter market hours (late morning or early evening). Dress for wind from the coast, wear comfortable shoes for cobbled stones, and bring small change to sample local treats. The activity is private and flexible — play at your own pace and support local vendors as you collect points and memories.
This is a self-guided, app-driven game; you receive instructions and a unique code after booking and play at your own pace.
