Frequently asked questions

What will I see in Embrun's old town on this walk?
The route goes through the perched old town in this order: Place Général Dosse, Place Barthelon, the Tour Brune, the Jardin de l'Archevêché, Notre Dame du Réal and the Maison des Chanonges. Each puzzle points you to architectural details and monuments that are easy to walk past.
Where does it start and finish, and how far is it?
You start at Place Général Dosse and finish at the Maison des Chanonges. The whole route is about 0.6 km, so the walking itself is short. Most of your time goes into looking closely at the buildings and solving the puzzles at each stop.
How long does it take?
Players typically take a little over an hour, around 65 minutes, with walking and puzzles included. You can pause at any point and continue later, so you can stop for a drink or an ice cream in the old town and pick up where you left off.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is tagged as family friendly and the distance is short. The puzzles ask you to spot details in buildings and monuments, so children old enough to follow clues and look carefully will enjoy it most, with adults helping along the way.
Do we need to book a time, and is it free?
It is free to play, and there is no group to join and no fixed start time. Open it on your phone whenever you like. The route is open 24/7, but it is better during daylight hours, when the architectural details the puzzles rely on are easier to see.
