The Totemus treasure hunts are halfway between track game and geocaching. Totemus combines sport, with different levels of walks, culture, with the promotion of local wealth and know-how (tales and legends, art, gastronomy...) and adventure. The principle? All along the route, hunters have to solve riddles that need their sense of observation: find a date at the foot of a statue, count the number of windows of a building, fill in the name of a street, etc. By doing so, hunters collect totems and earn points, called "toteez", which can be exchanged for gifts at amusement parks, museums, playgrounds, restaurants, etc. Two versions of Totemus are available: a free version, ad-free, with no usage limits, and a premium subscription with additional features, to take things further.
