Bordeaux Mystery Quest: Self-Guided UNESCO Walk

Overview

Bordeaux, your first morning of an exchange year. A note in your dorm drawer says: someone is after the city's heart.

Find the thief. Use the Questo app to walk Bordeaux's UNESCO-listed Port of the Moon across 12 real landmarks: Place des Quinconces, Place de la Bourse, the Grand Theatre, Notre-Dame, Porte Dijeaux, the medieval Big Bell, and more. Solve a riddle or unlock a hidden detail at each stop.

Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start playing at Place des Quinconces. Audio narration plays at every chapter, bring headphones.

Along the way, a goddess speaks to you from her pedestal, an angel guides your steps, and a leopard chooses your side. Uncover Bordeaux's role in the French Revolution, the Atlantic slave trade, the WWII Resistance, and 1,500 years of medieval history hidden in plain sight.

Perfect for couples, friends, families, and history-curious solo travellers. About 100 minutes, 4.2 km through Old Bordeaux.
