This audio game for tablet takes students on a search for objects in the exhibition Montreal – Points of View with the help of clues drawn from the sounds of the city. The students answer riddles through selections of music, poetry and theatre. Correct responses are rewarded with puzzle pieces that create a picture revealed at the end of the game. Children have fun while discovering the signs of change and elements of continuity in the city’s history.

In the workshop, students use pictures to create a timeline of the sounds they heard during the tour.
