About this quest

This game will allow you to discover all the treasures of the medieval city of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, while having fun. 

The route that awaits you has been designed so that you don't miss anything of the considerable historical and architectural heritage of the place.  

Highlights

  • All the sites in the game are free to visit, but, be aware that some are open everyday between 9AM and 6PM only.

  • When you pass by the tourist office, don't hesitate to check for all the attractions available on reservation, which could complete your discovery of the city.

The mission: Your story in Saint-Emilion

A series of fortunate events put us in possession of an unpublished manuscript by Isaac Newton that was originally sold in a Sotheby’s auction in 1936. 
 
The document was in bad shape and extensively marked up by previous owners. Yet, after hours of meticulous examination, we managed to reconstitute Newton’s visit to Saint-Émilion in 1701.
 
Today, these documents are all yours and you decided to follow Newton’s path to solve the mystery of this visit.

Good to know before you play

  • If the weather gets cold, you can pause and go inside to warm up at almost any location in the game
  • We recommend not playing at night
  • No attractions ticket(s) required

A nice walk and unique way to see the town. Some of the clue questions and directions could be better phrased/clarified
