The Dinant scavenger hunt starts at the memorial to the victims of 23 August 1914 and visits the statue of Charles de Gaulle before crossing the Meuse on the Charles de Gaulle Bridge to the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame. You continue to the Adolphe Sax monument, the Saxophone Monument, Adolphe Sax’s house and the saxophone water clock, then the lion and the Triumph of Light monument, finishing at the Regional Cultural Centre.
The route is about 1.8 km, roughly 25 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Dinant is squeezed between the Meuse and a steep limestone cliff, with the citadel on top and the bulb-shaped bell tower of the Collegiate Church below. Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone, was born here in 1814, and giant colourful saxophones line the bridge named after Charles de Gaulle, who was wounded in Dinant as a young officer in 1914.
A game turns this small town into a chain of discoveries. Each riddle makes you look closely at statues, façades and inscriptions, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no schedule.
The Dinant scavenger hunt takes about 2 hours, including about 25 minutes (1.8 km) of actual walking; the rest is solving riddles and listening to stories. You can pause at any time and continue later or on another day.
It starts at the Memorial to the Victims of 23 August 1914 and finishes at the Regional Cultural Centre of Dinant, both close to the Meuse. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order.
