In another life, I was a tour guide—yes, really, I promise. Anyway, all that to say that I love wandering around, and especially discovering and sharing the history of a city, the legends of a neighborhood, anecdotes about a little side street, and the secrets of an inner courtyard.
Today, if you’re looking for that kind of experience, there is a wide range of offers available to you, and technology now allows you (with its advantages and disadvantages) to stroll around with a tablet or simply your phone.
In this context, I wanted to introduce you to Bérald, the little character with the magnifying glass from BaladEnigm, who will take you on tours and walks to discover a city or a neighborhood by answering riddles.
These are a new kind of treasure hunt, designed to explore differently and discover a neighborhood or a place while having fun, all in total freedom: no need to book, you can start whenever you want by printing your own logbook (or downloading it to your iPhone).
Each tour costs less than €10 (for the whole group) and the guide is the famous Bérald I mentioned earlier! BaladEnigm tours are designed to be enjoyed with family or friends, so that there’s something for everyone (those who want to move forward by solving riddles, those who want to learn something new, those who prefer to stroll with their head in the clouds… and the kids or adults who just want to have a little fun!).
There are currently 13 tours in the Ile-de-France region (including 11 in Paris proper), as well as a tour in Seville.
New: PocketEnigm, a fun and efficient urban walk exclusively for iPhone, available for €2.39, designed for connected city dwellers and walkers who wish to discover Paris with their head held high, solo or as a duo!
