The experience

About this quest

Track a missing naval commander through sunlit Nice as a routine meeting turns into a live pursuit. 

From Place Masséna to Castle Hill and the Palais de Justice, you follow a coordinated extortion plot tied to human trafficking. Read movement, interpret clues, and stay on the trail as pressure builds toward a public confrontation. 

Uncover how reputation, power, and justice collide, and stop a staged execution before it unfolds.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Place Masséna and finishes at the Palais de Justice, so you end in a different spot from where you began. Along the way you pass Jardin Albert, the beach, the Opéra de Nice, Bellanda Tower, the Cascade du Château and Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about 1 hour 45 minutes, walking and puzzles included, over roughly 2.7 km. The route has varied terrain and elevation, including the climb up Castle Hill to Bellanda Tower and the Cascade du Château, so allow for some uphill walking.
Does the route pass the Opéra de Nice?
Yes. The Opéra de Nice is the fourth stop, after Place Masséna, Jardin Albert and Plage Beau Rivage. The app tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle using what is in front of you before sending you on toward Castle Hill.
Is it suitable for children?
It is better suited to teenagers and adults. The story deals with extortion, human trafficking and a staged execution, the puzzles are solved in the real world, and the route includes a climb with varied terrain that may not suit those with limited mobility.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
The quest is free to play, so friends or couples can simply start together on their phones. There is no group to join, no guide and no time slot to book. Start whenever you like, and pause and continue later if you need a break.
