Dinan: City Game Adventure & Apocalypse Puzzle Quest

Summary

Decode ancient symbols chase legends through medieval dinan

You’ll step into medieval Dinan with friends, racing against time to decode mysterious symbols and follow clues along winding streets. Expect laughter over tricky puzzles, moments where the city’s history suddenly feels personal, and plenty of surprises tucked into secret corners. This is for anyone who wants adventure with a dash of legend — and a good excuse to explore at your own pace.

What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered what it’d feel like if Dinan’s cobbled lanes held a secret that only you could solve? That’s pretty much where we found ourselves, phones buzzing in our hands, trying to make sense of these odd symbols scattered around the old ramparts. Our group was half-laughing, half-panicking — especially when Yann, the archaeologist in the story, popped up on our screens with another cryptic clue. I definitely butchered some French pronunciations (Li laughed so hard she nearly dropped her phone), but somehow that made it all more real.

The city game took us down alleys I’d never have noticed — one smelled faintly of baking bread, another echoed with someone practicing accordion behind a blue-shuttered window. There was this moment on a narrow staircase where I had to steady myself (the app warned it might get dizzy), and for a second, I just looked out over Dinan’s rooftops and felt time slow down. The weather kept shifting — sun one minute, then a gusty chill that made us huddle closer reading clues together. We lost signal once or twice (turns out Free network isn’t great here), but sharing connections between us worked fine.

I didn’t expect to get so caught up in the story about Bertrand du Guesclin and that old Spanish scroll predicting disaster. The puzzles were clever — not too easy, not impossible — and every time we cracked one, there was this little rush. Locals passed by with curious glances; one older man even stopped to ask if we were “saving Dinan” today. I still think about how playful and alive the city felt when you’re seeing it through this kind of lens…
