Overview
France's oldest city rises from its old port in layers of salt, stone and swagger — and it plays to win.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Marseille on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Start by the Hôtel de Ville, survivor of the old port's dramas
• Climb toward Sainte-Marie-Majeure, the striped giant by the sea
• Trace the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean, gateway between city and Mediterranean
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
