The experience

Your smartphone becomes the key to Montpellier's hidden stories. The Questo app feeds you clues one at a time, each one pointing you toward a specific haunted landmark in the city. When you arrive and solve the puzzle, the app unlocks the horror story tied to that place: tales of captive souls, spirits and mysterious skeletons that once walked those streets. The exact directions built into each clue mean you won't need a separate map, GPS or a guide trailing behind you. You move at your own pace and stop whenever something catches your attention.

The game threads through Montpellier's most storied locations: the Musée Fabre, an important museum; iconic squares that anchor the city's layout; Notre-Dame-des-Table Cathedral; and lesser-known villas and streets where the darker histories live. Each puzzle solved unlocks not just the next clue but a piece of the city's past: the kind of detail a standard tour guide might skip over. You can start the quest whenever you want and pause it to grab coffee, sit in a square or linger at a museum entrance. There's no schedule to keep.

The app runs on your phone and works around the clock, so you can play in the morning before crowds arrive or late in the afternoon when the light changes. If a clue stumps you or the app glitches, customer support is available 24/7 to get you back on track. The game is designed for ages 16 and up, and it suits all fitness levels since you're walking at your own speed through a city, not hiking or climbing.

Top questions

What happens when I solve a clue in the game?

Once you guess the answer correctly, the app unlocks the secret story and horror history of that location, then gives you directions to the next clue and the next haunted place to visit.

Do I need to buy tickets to enter the museums and attractions the game sends me to?

The game directs you to these places and tells their stories, but entry tickets to attractions like the Musée Fabre are not included. You purchase them separately if you want to go inside.

Can I do this quest alone, or do I need a group?

The game works for solo players or groups. You move through Montpellier at your own pace and stop whenever you want, so it fits any group size or solo travel style.

What if I get lost or the app stops working while I'm playing?

The app provides exact directions to each location so you won't need a map or GPS, and 24/7 customer support is available to help if you get stuck or run into a technical issue.

How long does the entire quest take?

The game is designed to take around 90 minutes, but you control the pace. You can stretch it longer by lingering at sites or finish faster by moving straight through the clues.
