Your mission

Six relics. One final message to reconstruct.

An old legend tells that the last great Sultan of Marrakech hid six relics across the city. Before disappearing, he divided his final message and entrusted its fragments to emblematic places in the medina.

At every stop, observe a landmark, feel the energy of a square or recognise the skill of local craftspeople. Each completed challenge reveals another part of the Sultan’s legacy.

Made to share

A Marrakech family activity—and an adventure with friends

Families have tested the game, which is recommended from around age 8. Between ages 8 and 10, playing with an adult makes it easier to read instructions and solve the puzzles. Also consider the 3 km walk: some stops require entering a monument.
