You step out onto Place de la Cathédrale and the stone face of Rouen’s cathedral stares down, its flying buttresses and soot-darkened towers a grand opening to a two-hour urban puzzle. The game pops to life on your phone; a map, a set of missions, and a ticking friendly rivalry that pushes your group through narrow medieval lanes, past half-timbered facades and lively market corners.
