The Reims scavenger hunt starts at Square Colbert and heads to the Porte de Mars, a Roman triumphal arch, and the Musée-Hôtel Le Vergeur. Via the Roman Cryptoporticus and Place Royale you reach the Art Deco Carnegie Library and Notre-Dame Cathedral, then the Palais de Justice, the Opéra and finally the lively Place Drouet d’Erlon.
The 10 stops cover about 2.5 km, roughly 31 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
For centuries French kings were crowned in Notre-Dame de Reims, a Gothic cathedral listed by UNESCO and known for its Smiling Angel on the façade. Long before that, Reims was the Roman city of Durocortorum, whose triumphal arch and cryptoporticus still stand. Today it is the capital of champagne, with famous houses and their chalk cellars just outside the centre.
A game makes you look closely at carvings, signs and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories that follow explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a coffee or a snack whenever you like.
The Reims scavenger hunt takes about 2 hours: 10 stops and about 31 minutes (2.5 km) of actual walking, the rest is riddles and stories. You can pause at any time and continue later.
It starts at Square Colbert near the station and finishes on Place Drouet d’Erlon, the pedestrian square in the centre. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order.
