The Monaco scavenger hunt starts at the Prince’s Palace and leads past the Girl on a Chair sculpture and the Palace of Justice to Monaco Cathedral, the Chapel of Mercy and the post office. Through the Saint-Martin Gardens you reach the Oceanographic Museum, then return via the Chapel of the Visitation to finish at a panoramic viewpoint over Monaco.
Expect about 24 minutes (2 km) of walking in total, all on the Rock of Monaco-Ville. You can start elsewhere 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.

A game makes you look closely at coats of arms, plaques and details you would otherwise walk past, and the stories explain what you have just seen. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for barbagiuan, a local pastry, whenever you like.
