A cold evening in Bordeaux, strings of bulbs skimming the Garonne as vendors call out over the murmur of shoppers — you unlock a code on your phone and the market becomes a playground. The game pushes teams between stalls and under the big tree, asking you to locate a santon, record a carol remix, or photograph the worst gift you can find. It’s playful, sensory, and entirely self-paced.

Conservation
The market promotes waste sorting and many stalls use local products; try to use reusable containers when possible and dispose of trash in designated bins.
