What you get

A two-stop taste of The Left Bank Cipher: one riddle at the top of the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, one nine hundred metres downhill on the river. Same game, same on-the-spot verification, same hints as the paid trail — just two stops of it.

  • 2 riddles, checked by the server as you solve them
  • A hint whenever you are stuck. It costs a few points.
  • A running score, a time, and a certificate at the end
  • Nothing to pay at any stop along the way

Where does it go?

That is the game. A hunt tells you nothing but the first riddle; the place it points at is what you work out, and printing the list here would be printing the answers. What we will say is the shape of it: 2 riddles, 900 m, about 30 min, and every stop is somewhere you can reach and see without paying an admission.
