About this quest
Tonight, Montpellier pulses with forgotten magic. Statues stir, fountains whisper, and Euphrosyne—the muse of joy—awakens with a mission.
Her beloved sculptor vanished two centuries ago, and only you, her loyal assistant, can help her reunite with him. Follow the trail through the city's most beautiful landmarks, solve clues etched in stone and bronze, and gather the elements needed for The Awakening. But beware—shadows move with purpose tonight.
This quest is a walking adventure through Montpellier’s heart, blending romance, mystery, and mythology. Solve real-world puzzles, explore with friends or family, and become part of a story that bridges time and love. Will you help love live again—or fade into legend?
