Sur les traces d'Ularius

Shipped · live

Showcase site for real-life adventure rallies on the Île d'Oléron. The game is deliberately analog — map, compass, no app — so the site's job is to tell the adventure and convert into bookings, without ever getting in the way.

Context

Sur les traces d'Ularius runs real-life adventure rallies on the Île d'Oléron: an old-school treasure hunt with map, compass and decoding tablets — no app during the game, that's the whole point. Four formats (on foot, by bike, hitchhiking Pékin Express style, kids), 42 stages across 14 routes.

The challenge

When the product is deliberately screen-free, the digital side has to stay discreet. The site doesn't need to gamify or onboard the player: it needs to make people want the adventure and turn that into a booking. What's left is handling booking, contact emails and GDPR cleanly, without weighing down a site that has to stay simple and fast.

Our approach

A static Nuxt (SSG) showcase deployed on Vercel, in four pages: home, about, FAQ, contact. Booking is delegated to a specialized third-party platform (Elloha), which avoids reinventing a booking engine. Contact emails go through a dedicated Express micro-service on AWS, wired to SES, with anti-spam rate-limiting at 10 requests per hour per IP. GDPR-compliant cookie handling. Everything else is static: fast to load, nothing to maintain server-side.

Outcome

Site live. A showcase that tells the adventure and hands the visitor over to booking, while the game itself stays 100% off-screen.
