Start your app-venture

Once you have booked the experience, you will receive instructions on downloading and playing the game on your phone. The game will begin at the Centenary Monument, built in the 19th century to mark the annexation of Nice to France. Open the app and follow the instructions given. You will need 1.5 to 2 hours to complete the game. Feel free to pause the game at any location to do some exploring on your own. When you're ready to dive back in, restart the game from the location where you last paused.

Solve clues and unlock stories

Solve the clues and unlock stories that will take you on a historical quest with famous philosophers, writers, and artists who have lived in Nice. The app will give you instructions on how to reach the next location. Imagine being guided by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Matisse, Nietzsche, and James Joyce!

Play in large groups, or form small groups so that you can engage in a friendly battle of wits. You can also play on your own. It is recommended that each guest buys a ticket for the best experience. However, several people can share a phone. The game ends at Place Masséna, Nice’s main square with a characteristic checkerboard tiling pattern. The pattern, along with its popularity as an entertainment hub, makes it one of the must-visit attractions in Nice.

Optional self-guided tour of Nice

With the help of this self-guided audio tour, with a special navigation feature that suggests the best paths to explore the city, discover the stunning city of Nice. Discover the rich history and culture of this city by exploring its famous sites, which include the Nice Cathedral, the Marc Chagall National Museum, Castle Hill, and the Promenade des Anglais.
