What to expect
You'll download a free app, enter your unique code, and set off into Ribeauvillé's winding streets with smartphone in hand. The game pings you toward different landmarks and quiet corners, revealing questions and challenges as you arrive. Some tasks are timed; others ask you to observe details or capture specific shots. You're free to wander however suits you—cut through gardens, linger at cafés, or sprint between points. The game keeps score and nudges you toward 'maximum points', but there's no pressure to finish in any particular order. Expect a mix of thinking, looking and the occasional laugh at an odd local fact.
