An agent has vanished in the heart of Valence. Last known position: the Fontaine Monumentale. Your mission: comb the city, pick up the trail and crack the secrets left behind. Welcome to Valence’s Shadow, a real-life scavenger hunt that turns the old town into an open-air investigation scene.
From the majestic Cathédrale Saint-Apollinaire to the enigmatic Maison des Têtes and its sculpted faces, through the Pendentif and the Place des Ormeaux, every stop plunges you deeper into this ancient city’s fascinating history. Keep your eyes peeled for Bruno Catalano’s sculptures, decode the clues left near the Musée de Valence and follow the thread all the way to the Centre du Patrimoine Arménien.
Sharpen your observation skills and rally your team to tackle 22 quests: quizzes, photo challenges, text and number puzzles. Every location matters, every detail counts. The Shadow was the best agent the Agency ever had, not because he was the strongest, but because he saw what nobody else could see. Now it’s your turn to prove you can do the same.
This scavenger hunt is perfect for friends, families or an original team building. From 2 to 5 players, a smartphone and up to 2 hours ahead of you: that’s all you need for an unforgettable adventure through the streets of Valence.
