How does the Scavenger Hunt in Arcachon work?

The Scavenger Hunt through Arcachon is based on the native myCityHunt App, which you can conveniently download from the App Store or Google Play Store. All you need is your smartphone and mobile internet. No printing, no paperwork, no stress.

The process is as straightforward as a walk on the plage d'Arcachon:

  1. Book a ticket: Secure your ticket through the myCityHunt website and load it into your wallet in the app.
  2. Configure the tour: The ticket holder sets the number of players, number of teams, desired tour, and language.
  3. Create a lobby: A lobby QR code is displayed in the app. All other participants scan this code to join the lobby.
  4. Select teams: All players choose a team and join it – perfect if you're in a larger group!
  5. Select a role: Each player takes on a role – whether photographer, detective, or adventurer. During the game, you'll receive challenges tailored to your role.
  6. Let's go: Everyone starts the tour together and the Scavenger Hunt Arcachon begins!

The app's GPS navigation safely guides you from station to station. You decide which task to tackle first. At each station, tricky puzzles, exciting questions, and creative challenges await you. For every solved task, you collect points – and in the end, the high score shows how well your team really did!
