Squid game in the streets of the plateau

It’s freely inspired by popular series games squid game (squid game) That organizers of the small Montreal-based Walking Brain have imagined a new geocaching, which ends Sunday with its only performance in French.

Identified using numbered cards reminiscent of those embroidered on the green jackets of the participants in the Korean series, players, assembled in teams, must be the first to solve six puzzles, threads strewn all over the Mount Royale. and La Fontaine Park.

It’s hard to be rewarding, but it’s still easy to always be fun,” said Catherine Wang, one of our teammates at the time. It’s also a very pleasant way to walk the streets of Plateau Mont-Royal. ”

Specifically, it is best to wear good clothes, but also good shoes, because geocaching takes about three hours and you walk about eight kilometers. “Above all, be patient, not rush, read the clues carefully and think carefully before moving on,” suggests our third colleague, Jenny Lin, in closing, dismissing her from the start because she was in a hurry!
