4.00Useful app as I was only in Lille for a few hours. Main negative was not being able to go back in the app to previous stops on the route.

4.00Very good route of the city but complicated start. We couldn't create a team, everyone had to create one on their phone and we missed the beginning because we can't go back...

5.00I was surprised by how much we learned during this scavenger hunt! It felt like a mini history lesson disguised as a game. The questions were engaging — not too easy, but still fun — and we really enjoyed the interesting facts about the architecture, local art, and culture. Perfect for curious minds who enjoy exploring with purpose.

5.00We decided to try this scavenger hunt on a whim for a date, and it turned out to be one of our favorite afternoons in a long time. We laughed, got stuck on a few clues, and strolled hand in hand through Lille’s charming old town. The combination of history, puzzles, and the freedom to explore made it feel relaxed and special.

A fresh perspective on a familiar city

5.00I've been living in Lille for a year, but when I did this scavenger hunt with visiting friends, I was surprised by how many new places we uncovered. The clues encouraged us to slow down and appreciate small architectural details we’d usually miss. It turned a familiar city into something exciting again — a great way to rediscover Lille.
A fun and active experience for families

5.00We explored the city with our kids (9 and 12) using this scavenger hunt, and they were hooked right from the start. It felt like a real-life adventure — walking from clue to clue, discovering landmarks, and solving puzzles together. Being outside and watching their enthusiasm grow with each challenge made it a highlight of our trip. A well-designed and memorable activity for families.
