Square Gambetta is a large square in Carcassonne on the other side of the river Aude and the famous Cité. With this square begins the old walled city, built by King St. Louis of France: La Bastide de Saint Louis.

According to notarial acts, the little chapel Notre Dame de la Santé was built with money from the legacy of Jean de Saix, in 1527, as a hospital for those suffering from the plague. It was considered a faithful guard in that strategic location, the narrow passage between fortified buildings. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
At the foot of the Pont-Vieux, on the right bank of the Aude, a facade bears witness to this prosperous period for the city. Former home of a noble Carcassonnaise family, the building was bought in 1694 by someone close to Colbert who founded a cloth factory there. The latter will take the title of Manufacture Royale in 1696. The only building dating from this period, still visible, is the owners' residence. This construction is, in many ways, similar to those of the Lower Town dating from the 18th century.

The church Saint-Gimer was built between 1854 and 1859, by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Modesty was one of its stated goals; it has a nave and two aisles and a polygonal apse stationed on two vestries, all preceded by a porch.

Porte de l'Aude is a part of the preserved medieval walled city, this iconic gate overlooks the river. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
The Inquisition Museum is located in a large 17th century building and presents a large collection of Instruments of torture, ranging from the 12th century to the French Revolution. It is completed by the various characters who played an important role during this period as well as their biography. You will also find the history of the main Cathar Castles, part of the history of the Inquisition and the riches of our region.

The present Romanesque cathedral started to be built in June 1096. A Lady Chapel was added in the early 15th century, adjoining the infirmary and chapel built by Bishop Radulph in the 1260s. The Château Comtal was built in the 12th century by Bernard Aton Trencavel over the western part of the Roman walls.

We found the questions pretty straightforward, but the encouragement to look around and notice things we would have otherwise missed was great! It starts outside the mediaeval city and leads you in - so start before you walk up that way! The art gallery/museum is near the start point is well worth visiting too (and free entry).
Had fun exploring the city and found some nice places what I wouldn't encounter otherwise. The statue at the first stop was missing though, however the riddle wasn't hard to solve. :)
Quite difficult to get into - our 24 year old daughter had to do it as she's more 'tech' savy. It was ok and quite fun but there were not enough sights or information about places, it was more a fairy story for kids than an actual tour of Carcassonne
The questions were nice and it took us to some really good places we would not have seen otherwise. The only problem for me was the story, it was et great and it fell short to what we were hoping for. Very confusing and it did not have much to do with Carcassonne. The historical information was great though!
Really fantastic experience, so much fun. Great for adrenaline junkies. Would 100% recommend to others
A great treasure hunt around Carcassonne. It was just the right length and not too difficult. The ghost story is combined with historical facts so you learn a lot in a fun way.
It took us 2 hrs (with some short breaks) to complete the game. Overall, a great experience and the best way to introduce some history to the kids. We ended up visiting places that we would have otherwise missed, including the lower town, mostly neglected by the tourists. Even inside the castle we were led to the various parts of it, e.g. gates, walls, that related to the ancient history of the Carcassonne. Otherwise, I think we'd have ended up just browsing through the shops and restaurants in the middle of the old castle, like most tourists. I could do away with the ghost story though, but would have enjoyed more historic facts and it'd be nice if the clues summed up to a big sentence/ fact/ word at the end.
A reasonable way to walk through Carcassonne. The story is probably aimed more for younger children - our teenagers soon tired of the narrative but it did provide structure. It took us to the key places and outside of the city. We would have preferred some more historical insight into the city as a learning walk. Reasonable value.
Loved walking around Carcassonne looking for clues and learning history. The story was a bit naff but I really enjoyed the experience. Had a bit of difficulty downloading the details but on- line chat soon sorted me out. From then it was plain sailing.
Thé clues were good and interesting . We walked around for 2 hours and really got a feel for Carcassonne
Some of the directions were vague and some just incorrect. As a tour app it was OK and showed some places that we would not have gone to otherwise. The ghost story was irrelevant and, whilst I understand the idea of making an adventure out of the tour, the ghost story was too intrusive.
Quite a fun way to see some of the less obvious parts of the city, both Old and New. I liked how you could pause the game and then lick it up later. I was close to running out of battery on my first day, so picked the game up over 24 hours later very easily.
To be in carcassone is to go back in time and live what seems like a fairy tale. it's a beautiful city and the castle impressive and well preserved, I really want to go back one day at night and live this experience. I loved!!
Quite a fun way to explore the old city and surrounding area. Took us to a couple of places we might not have found, and some of the clues took a bit of solving, though not too difficult! Just two friends doing it together so not actually necessary to have bought two tickets, one would have been enough. But if you want to play competitively then you would need a ticket per team. It doesn't take very long unless you stop for refreshment or a rest here & there! As well as the story for the puzzle solving, there are some interesting history notes provided about things you come across.
Cute little way to motivate walking around the city. The preteen/teen crowd was probably a little too cool but adults had a fun time and the puzzles actually had something to do with what you were looking at at the location so that was nice. I liked the history snippets song the way.
This game costs a fiver (£5). Buy it! It’s just a great way to see the Cite of Carcassonne with a few friends, working out the clues, exploring the history, learning some new facts. Definitely would recommend. So much better than just wandering around aimlessly. Whoever put this game together has done a lot of work to research the route and the clues. I’ll be looking out when I visit other cities now I have the app.
Very nice, bring sportswear and a water bottle. Great discovery.
Interesting game for a family moment. Do not hesitate to contact the provider in case of any problems as launching the game is not as simple as it sounds. We lost time from the start because of the explanations that are not as intuitive as it sounds and despite all the applications installed
For my part I can't give a positive review because it's impossible to unlock the quest...either with the email address where the QR Code! And yet there were several of us and we lost at least 1 hour t of money for nothing...
The story itself and the experience was super fun. It was just not clear that we did not have to pay once each. We took the experience for 5 participants but brought 3 small children. They eventually joined me and my wife and because of that I have now bought 3 out of 5 tickets for nothing. So we could have done it with one ticket.
Unlocking very complicated, worked after a lot of effort for 2 of 3. History for children. Suitable if you are interested in detailed knowledge and architecture. Diseases, for example, as in the description hardly appear in the explanations.
It never worked... I tried everything for an hour and nothing did.... very disappointed... I lost 11 euros for nothing.
Nice way to discover Carcassonne. Also on a terrace played the parlour game Carcassone . Super nice day had with our family.
Bonne visite, cela permet de découvrir la ville. Cependant, je pensais que c'était un audio guide. Nous avons payé pour 4 personnes alors qu'un seul téléphone suffisait vu qu'il n'y avait pas d'audio...
Decouvrir des lieux specifiques à la ville de Carcassonne et leur histoire. Tout en s amusant. Je recommande vivement
One of the best Questo track game to discover the city! I strongly advise you, do not hesitate. Carcassonne visited herself very well!
La Boulangerie de la Cité at 3 Rue Saint-Louis, 11000 Carcassonne, France is close to the Basilique Saint Nazaire, a very clean, nice and welcoming environment. Here we had breakfast for 4 days and lunch once. The pastry part is fabulous, sweets and fantastic pasta. For lunch they offer different solutions that you can check from their site or from the photos I attached. You can choose whether to eat in the indoor dining room or on the outdoor terrace in front of the entrance. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices (a bit high) are in line with those of all places in Carcassonne. Highly recommended. Navigation on the Canal Du-Midi, near the two vans where you can get tickets there are several outdoor parking lots, we instead parked in the underground paid right in the square adjacent to the two vans mentioned above. The difference between the two solutions is only boats for navigation as the journey is the same. We did the one lasting 1.5 hours of navigation on the canal passing 2 locks. During navigation, in addition to the 2 locks, you see only a few abandoned boats, a house, vegetation and nothing more. Honestly I only Recommendation to those who have never seen or passed locks to see how a boat sails on a canal with different water heights.
hat einfach nicht geklappt. 30 Minuten zum Startpunkt gewandert. Anleitung der App : fast zurück zu unserem Herkunftsort geschickt…. Das war unverständlich. Neuer Versuch am nächsten Tag hat nicht mehr funktioniert. Sorry Schade um die paar Euro
The story and the game could have been nice but the explanations of the route need to be reviewed, as if the route had been done via maps and not on site, so there is no point in going back and forth.... So painful that we didn't finish the shame part!
I ordered this escape game as I have already done in several cities. I couldn't even finish. There were a lot of stairs to climb, so I put my phone in my pocket. Finally arriving at the top, I couldn't resume the game because I had to go back down to where I had closed my phone. No possibility of skipping the step. So I couldn't finish.
A fuire!!! Il faut payer pour pouvoir débloquer le jeu soit disant gratuit.. du grand n'importe quoi! Et impossible de se faire rembourser.
Es una buena opción para hacer turismo y conocer lugares nuevos. Nos costó bajar la app para los invitados y nos habría gustado más opciones de idioma. Muy recomendable, repetiremos seguro!
A discovery of the entire Carcassonne. Keep in mind that there is a steep climb halfway up to the castle section. We really enjoyed this game where we learned a lot about Carcassonne.
Cannot make this game. Cannot connect it through the app and no refund possible. I would not recommend it at all. Go to the tourist office it's the best
An overpriced app that will make you circle in the city and exhaust you before you even reach the city.
VERY NICE PLACE I'm glad I visited this place. It was nice to go. The shops are nice and the cathedral very beautiful. Bravo.
Si vas con niños es más complicado hacerlo, por que ellos se se entretienen con otras cosas y no dejan seguir bien la dinámica del juego. Sería genial añadir el español como idioma para facilitar el juego a personas que no sepan inglés o francés, por que sino tienes que ir usando el traductor todo el tiempo o si no es todo el tiempo si para enterarte bien de la historia. Pero por lo demás, es muy entretenido hay que fijarse en los detalles! Gracias
