We take up the challenge of a Christmas treasure hunt

Ready to take on the challenge?
How does a Christmas treasure hunt work?

To begin your adventure, choose your treasure hunt and pick up your game booklet for free, along with your adventurer’s passport, from participating partners or online.
With your game booklet in hand and your adventurer’s passport in your pocket, set off in search of the hidden clues along the route. No expertise required: all you need are sharp eyes, a little logic … and a willingness to play!
Plan for around 10 stops and one hour of walking, but there’s no race against the clock. Take your time, enjoy the Christmas decorations, treat yourself to a delicious break and get the whole family involved in completing the mission.
Solved all the puzzles? All that’s left is to discover the mystery element. Mission accomplished! Head to the finish point to discover the reward reserved for adventurers and get your passport stamped, so you can collect another Christmas sparkle.

Collect the Christmas sparkles!
After completing each treasure hunt, get your passport stamped and add a new sparkle to your collection. 5 sparkles, 10 sparkles, 15 sparkles… as your adventures continue, new milestones are unlocked!
And each time you reach a new milestone, enter a prize draw. A great way to keep the quest going and discover new treasure hunts across Alsace!

57 journeys, one quest, 57 worlds to discover
What we love about Christmas treasure hunts is that no two are alike!
While all 57 trails are now linked by a single quest centered on the Christmas Shards, each one offers a unique experience, with its own puzzles and stories.
Bear paw prints, mischievous elves, golden storks, glowing roses, or mysterious melodies… Each hunt offers a new way to set out in search of the Christmas Shards.
