Marrakech: the photo and video recap of a treasure hunt
When you get back from a trip, your phone gallery is full: ochre façades, carved doors, colourful market stalls, a mint tea enjoyed on a terrace. Yet what really stays with you are the moments you shared: the fit of laughter over a riddle, the hesitation at a crossroads of alleyways, the small victory when you finally find the right answer.
That is the whole point of a well-thought-out souvenir. In Marrakech, an interactive treasure hunt or an interactive guided tour in the Medina lets you live a story, and the photo and video recap you receive afterwards keeps a record of it. Let's look at how it works and how to prepare for it, whether you are travelling as a family, with friends or in a group.
Why a souvenir you have "lived" is worth more than a pile of photos
The Marrakech Medina is a setting you never tire of: narrow alleyways, warm-toned walls, light that changes throughout the day. You naturally want to photograph everything. The risk is coming home with dozens of beautiful images but no common thread, which you stop looking at after a few weeks.
An activity with a beginning, a progression and an end provides exactly that common thread. You don't simply walk past the historical heritage: you follow a narrative, you search, you decide together. A souvenir that tells a story is easier to share: you show it to those who weren't there, and you enjoy coming back to it.
The "Les Secrets de Moulay Hassan" treasure hunt and its recap
QuestRides offers interactive treasure hunts on foot in the Marrakech Medina. The game is played on a smartphone: you follow an immersive narrative, solve riddles and take on challenges while discovering the historical heritage of the place.
The "Les Secrets de Moulay Hassan" treasure hunt features riddles with levels ranging from Easy to Difficult, so you can choose a difficulty suited to your group. Two game modes are available:
- cooperative mode, where everyone moves forward together towards the same goal;
- competitive mode, for those who like a bit of a competitive spirit.
At the end of the game, you receive a photo and video recap of your adventure. You are also given a certificate. These two items mark the end of the game: one to relive the experience, the other to keep a record of your success.
To find out more about how the game works, you can visit the treasure hunt in Marrakech page.
Interactive guided tours: a downloadable report
If you prefer an approach more focused on discovery, QuestRides also offers interactive guided tours. These are tailor-made routes, driven by an immersive narrative. You choose the duration, the theme and the options, so that the tour fits your wishes and the pace of your trip.
Here too, you receive a downloadable photo and video recap report. In practice, you can keep it on your phone or computer, share it with your loved ones or pull it out again on a rainy day, miles away from the Medina.
A souvenir you can share: how to make the most of it depending on your group
As a family, from age 8
Children aged 8 and over can take part. A smartphone game, riddles to solve and challenges to take on: everyone finds a role. The recap then becomes a souvenir that children enjoy watching again, and that parents will be glad to rediscover years later. For more ideas, discover our family activities in Marrakech.
With friends, up to 20 people
A group of friends is often the perfect opportunity to play in competitive mode, with teams challenging each other. The game is suitable for groups of up to 20 people. When you watch the recap, the funniest moments become the topic of conversation again. You will find more ideas in our activities with friends.
Hen party, women-only or in a group
The experience can be booked privately for a hen party with your friends. QuestRides also offers a women-only discovery, with freedom and safety. In these contexts, a photo and video recap plays a special role: it brings everyone together around a shared memory, and those who couldn't come can enjoy it from afar. Larger groups will find it just as rewarding.
Preparing your session well for a great recap
A few simple habits will help you make the most of the experience, without stress.
- Charge your smartphone before setting off: the game is played on it, and you will need it from start to finish.
- Wear comfortable shoes: the Medina is explored on foot, through alleyways that are sometimes uneven.
- Bring water and a hat if the sun is out.
- Choose the right level: from Easy to Difficult, it is best to pick a challenge that suits the whole group so that everyone enjoys themselves.
- Share out the roles: one person reads the riddle, one searches, one holds the phone.
As for booking, everything starts on questrides.com. You then request a secure payment link on WhatsApp. For the treasure hunt, a 30% deposit is paid when you book and the balance is settled on site. For the guided tour, the full amount is paid via a payment link, and the tour link is then sent to you. There is no direct online payment on the website.
If your group's safety is a concern, the Safety page explains our approach in detail.
A souvenir to match your stay
Bringing back an object from the Medina is a lovely idea, but a souvenir you have built together has a different value. The photo and video recap of a treasure hunt, or the downloadable report of an interactive guided tour, extends the experience beyond the trip. It gathers together the laughter, the hesitations and the successes of a day spent exploring Marrakech in a different way.
