Certaines épreuves n'étaient pas claires. Notamment celle où l'on doit découvrir le chiffre 4 avec l'image jointe. On a renversé l'image comme proposé par l'indice mais rien ne se passait alors que mon téléphone était bien actif sur la rotation automatique.

Nos ha gustado mucho, pero nos hubiera gustado que estuviera relacionada con la ciudad de Nantes y sus monumentos. Hemos hecho otras quest en otras ciudades y además de usar elementos arquitectónicos o urbanísticos en los puzles también intercalaban la historia de la quest con explicaciones del lugar

★★★★★

it was a fun experience. I have done scavenger hunts before but this had a bonus of a storyline to keep you engaged. could have had more interaction with the environment but it was cool the few interactions we did have. took us to the main spots of the city but could have been more expansive. fun story line.

Like an escape room. The room is Nantes.

Escape rooms are genuinely good. They also want a slot booked days ahead and a fixed hour. This is the version you can decide on at 7pm: outdoors, across 2 km of Nantes.

Price / person	€8.99 for two, €6.00 in a group of 5	2 to 4x more each	4 to 6x more each

Questions locals ask

Yes. The case unlocks the second you pay and there is no time slot to reserve. Buy at 7pm, walk to the starting point, and you'll be working the first clue within the half hour. If tonight falls through, it stays in your account.

Yes, the free Questo app on iOS or Android, about a 2-minute download. Buy on this page, open the app, and the case is waiting in your account. Grab it at home on Wi-Fi; the route itself runs fine on normal mobile data.

No. There's no guide, no group and no set time. It's a self-guided game: you unlock the case, walk the 2 km route on your own schedule, and everyone in your party gets clues on their own phone. Closer to an escape room than to a walking tour of Nantes.

Nothing is booked, so you simply play another evening. The case does not expire. If weather turns mid-game, pause it, get inside, and resume from the same point later. If you haven't started yet, take a full refund instead.

The Fellowship covers up to 5 phones for €29.99 (€6.00 each). Bigger groups usually share a phone between two, or add a second pass and run two teams on the same case. That's the better version, and the Nantes leaderboard settles it.

Point 1 is at Place Royale · 5 Pl. Félix Fournier, and the route finishes at Place Royale · 5 Pl. Félix Fournier, a 2 km route with 12 challenge locations. The exact spot, with a photo, appears in the app the moment you unlock.

It's a whodunit, not a horror game: no jump scares, no gore, nothing chasing you. Kids usually spot the clues faster than the adults. Younger children can walk along, though the deduction will be over their heads.

Yes, and the case plays best after dark. Bring a charged phone; the route stays on public streets and squares, and it's roughly 2600 steps in total.

Yes, gift the case and the person you send it to picks their own evening, in Nantes or in any of the other cities it runs in. It doesn't expire, so it works for a birthday, a hen do, an anniversary or a team night out. They'll need the free Questo app to play.
