Cobblestones, cannon and the continent's oldest shopping street — Québec City is Europe that took a wrong turn, wonderfully.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Québec City on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Begin at the Monument à Champlain, honouring the city's founder
• Descend into Petit-Champlain, North America's most charming quarter
• Stand on Place Royale, where French America was born

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in French and English.

Je me souviens — and after this, so will you.

What to expect

Starting at the Monument Samuel-De Champlain beside the Frontenac stairway, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and take in the St. Lawrence before the descent. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Champlain monument opens the story: the navigator who founded the city in 1608 watches over the Dufferin Terrace with the Château Frontenac looming behind. Riddles set sail from here.

Down the Breakneck Steps, the Quartier Petit-Champlain unfolds — stone facades, hanging signs and the famous mural where trivia hides in the painted crowd.

Then Place Royale completes the journey to the beginning: the square where New France took root, anchored by its little stone church.

Around two hours between upper and lower town, funicular optional. The leaderboard renders its verdict — en français ou en anglais.
