About this experience
For seventy years in the 1300s, this walled city on the Rhône — not Rome — was the centre of the Catholic world, and Avignon has never stopped acting like it. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Avignon on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow the water wheels through the Quartier des Teinturiers, the old dyers' district • Crack clues beneath the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in Europe • Inspect the Hôtel de Ville and its clock tower on the Place de l'Horloge Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. When the last riddle is solved, the city of the popes will have let you in on secrets most visitors walk right past.

Treasure hunt in Avignon
A truly fun and interactive treasure hunt, with maps to follow and clues to look for. Absolutely recommended, I will look for it in other cities too
Response from the operator: Mappe da seguire e indizi da scovare: la combinazione perfetta per rendere Avignone ancora più divertente, Sara! E se già state pensando a quale altra città provare, siamo felicissimi di sentirlo: di citta da esplorare così ce ne sono parecchie ad aspettarvi. Il vostro team Explorial

Great Experience!
We saw places and learned about the history of Avignon we may not have known otherwise. The experience was fun and educational. We were able to take our time and stop along the way. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Learning Avignon's layers at your own pace — that's exactly how its history deserves to be discovered. So glad the educational and fun bits clicked together, and that you got to breeze right pas without rushing through. That's the sweet spot we're after. Thanks for the recommendation! Plenty more citys waiting whenever the next adventure calls. Your Explorial Team

Good but needs photos updating for tasks
Good, takes you to all the sights plus some interesting locations. FYI at least two of the photo tasks are out of date, making it a little difficult to find things and solve correctly… otherwise would gone out 5 stars.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.
Is Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Avignon?
+
On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Luberon Hill-top Villages Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Avignon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Avignon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
