Overview
For seventy years in the 1300s, this walled city on the Rhône — not Rome — was the centre of the Catholic world, and Avignon has never stopped acting like it.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Avignon on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow the water wheels through the Quartier des Teinturiers, the old dyers' district
• Crack clues beneath the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in Europe
• Inspect the Hôtel de Ville and its clock tower on the Place de l'Horloge
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
When the last riddle is solved, the city of the popes will have let you in on secrets most visitors walk right past.

What you will do
- Stop 1
Starting at 45 Rue des Teinturiers, on Avignon's most atmospheric cobbled street, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and begin the hunt. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Quartier des Teinturiers sets the tone: water wheels still turn in the Sorgue canal where dyers and weavers worked for centuries, and the riddles here reward sharp eyes.
At the Palais des Papes, the fortress-palace where nine popes held court, you'll work out clues in the shadow of walls that once guarded the papal treasury.
The Hôtel de Ville on Place de l'Horloge adds a newer chapter — a 19th-century city hall built around a 14th-century clock tower, with details hiding in plain sight.
Expect around 2 hours at an easy pace, pausing for a café stop whenever you like. By the end, you'll know why the popes were in no hurry to go back to Rome.
