This self-paced route leads you through Marseille's historic old town, connecting key viewpoints and hidden corners. You follow a sequence of location-based challenges that guide you between well-known landmarks and lesser-known streets.

Features

Cathedrale La Major

Cathedrale La Major is one of the key landmarks on your route, located close to the waterfront and the historic quarter. The game uses this area as both a waypoint and a storytelling backdrop.

Features

• Clues positioned around Cathedrale La Major invite you to look up at facades and nearby viewpoints, helping you discover unique spots in the old town around the cathedral.
• As part of the self-guided city exploration game, this stop illustrates how the route links major sights with puzzle locations instead of using a physical tour guide.
• The mix of tour, outdoor escape game, and treasure hunt continues here, with riddles that must be solved on-site before you can unlock the next segment.

Montée des Accoules

Montée des Accoules is an old town ascent featured in the route, known for its narrow way up through historic surroundings. It acts as a transition point that connects lower streets with higher viewpoints.

Features

• Challenges along Montée des Accoules direct your attention to details along the way, turning the climb into part of the outdoor escape game.
• This section of the old town route reinforces that the experience is open 24/7, every day of the week, all year long, so you decide whether to tackle it in the quiet morning or later in the day.
• The treasure hunt-style gameplay here ties into the broader self-guided city exploration game, keeping you engaged as you move toward the next location.

Oldest house in Marseille

One highlight of the route is finding the oldest house in Marseille, tucked into the old town's historic fabric. The game leads you toward this address using progressive clues instead of a mapped pin alone.

Features

• A dedicated puzzle helps you identify the oldest house in Marseille, rewarding you when you correctly locate it and log your answer in the app.
• At this point, the tour, outdoor escape game, and treasure hunt elements come together, since you apply previous hints from the self-guided city exploration game to complete the challenge.
• Having full flexibility to start anytime, pause, and resume means you can spend longer here, taking in the surroundings before moving on to the next stage of the route.
