Discover Dienné: Mission Areka and the Dienné le Moyen trail

Mission Areka is a life-size adventure game at Domaine de Dienné: solve puzzles and take on challenges outdoors. The Dienné le Moyen trail starts in Dienné, is 14.5 kilometres long, and offers the opportunity to observe the local fauna and flora along the way at Étang de la Forge. The two activities give the area different character: playful tasks on the one hand, hiking and nature observation on the other.

Mission Areka: Outdoor puzzles

If you want to choose an activity based on the type of experience it offers, the emphasis here is on solving tasks playfully. The outdoor format and the intended audience are therefore both relevant to your decision.
