About Ystia

Helping people rediscover territories through play.

Ystia was born from a simple belief: towns, villages and everyday places are full of stories waiting to be revealed. By combining exploration, riddles, local rewards and usage data, Ystia offers a new way to experience territories.

Discover the app For territories

Explore, understand, come back. Ystia turns local discovery into an active and memorable experience.

The mission

Turn a simple walk into a local adventure.

Ystia does not aim to replace a classic visit. Its goal is to make it more lively, more interactive and more engaging. Players are invited to observe details, understand places, solve riddles and create a stronger connection with what surrounds them.

The app is designed both for passing visitors and for residents who want to rediscover their own city differently. Each quest becomes a gateway to a story, a district, a heritage site, a local partner or an experience to live in the field.

Our guiding idea

Turn the territory into a playground, without distorting it: play becomes a way to observe, learn and create local connections.

What Ystia connects

An app at the crossroads of play, territory and the local economy.

Ystia was designed as an ecosystem: players explore, territories showcase their points of interest, and local partners become part of the experience.

The project

A platform designed to grow territory by territory.

Ystia is starting with local quests in Antibes, around street art, legends, ramparts, history and observation. This first base makes it possible to test several experience formats and progressively improve the player journey.

In the long term, Ystia aims to support other towns, tourist offices, partners and cultural sites in creating their own quests. Each territory can build an experience adapted to its identity, audiences and animation objectives.
