Tips for a successful family treasure hunt
Play as a team: every member of the family participates—children observe, parents decode, and everyone has fun.
Respect the environment: stay on the trails, leave nature untouched, and keep the clues in place.
Prioritize safety: be vigilant on shared paths (pedestrians/bikes), especially with children.
Take your time: go at your own pace, take breaks, and enjoy the unique setting of Île de Ré.
Bring what you need: water, snacks, a hat, sunscreen, etc. for an enjoyable trip without any surprises.
An adventure game is much more than a walk: it’s a fun, educational, family experience in the heart of the Île de Ré countryside.
