A late-morning sun slips along the Garonne and the city hums with the scent of butter and caramel. Teams gather with a charged phone and a sense of mischief, then tap the digital companion that launches the mission: recover the legendary Canelé d'Or. The game threads through Bordeaux’s stone streets, past patisseries and cloistered courtyards, turning ordinary façades into clue-bearing surfaces and local lore into puzzle fuel.

History

The canelé is a Bordeaux specialty with roots in convent baking and 18th–19th century port-era trade; the game weaves that culinary heritage into its mystery.

Conservation

Stick to public walkways, support local shops encountered on the route, and avoid leaving any litter—respecting built heritage keeps city games viable for future visitors.
