Unique Treasure Hunts
to Explore Paris Differently
Looking for memorable things to do in Paris beyond a classic walking tour? From Paris with Fun offers interactive treasure hunts designed for travelers who want more than a classic guided tour. Instead of simply walking past monuments, you actively explore the city, notice hidden details, and discover Paris through playful challenges. It is sightseeing — but with purpose, curiosity and fun.
A Different Way to Visit Paris
This activity is perfect for travelers searching for fun things to do in Paris that mix sightseeing, culture, and games. With our 2-hour self-guided escape games, we offer you a playful activity designed to entertain you while you visit Paris. For a family-friendly activity in Paris or a unique outing with friends, enjoy the emblematic Parisian monuments and turn the city into a playground! As you explore and search for clues, you will see many of Paris's famous landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Opera Garnier… depending on the tour you choose.
Who Can Join Our Treasure Hunts?
Visiting Paris with family? Traveling with friends? Planning a special occasion? From curious travelers to puzzle lovers and escape gamers, anyone can join! Our cultural games are perfect for families, friends, couples, corporate outings and team building in Paris looking for secret city history, students or alumni gatherings, birthday parties, and any other occasion where you’re looking for an activity that’s unique, fun, and memorable. No previous knowledge is required; you just need a sharp mind and comfy shoes.
Visiting Paris with Kids?
Traveling with children in Paris can be magical — but also challenging. Our treasure hunts are designed to keep young explorers engaged while allowing adults to genuinely enjoy the visit. Instead of listening passively, children participate. They search for details, read clues, and become part of the story. Recommended from age 8 and up, the experience works particularly well for families who want to combine culture, walking, and playful discovery. Parents often tell us they rediscovered parts of Paris they thought they already knew.
How Our Scavenger Hunts Work
Start: Meet Your Hunt Host
-
Our Hunt Host greets you and sets you up at the start. We provide all the equipment. You just need to come with your comfy shoes and a dash of fun!
-
The Host introduces the plot of the hunt. All our treasure hunts are on paper. Usually, you are given one booklet for 5 participants. For bigger groups, we bring extra booklets in case you want to split into teams.
Explore: Solve Riddles & Discover Paris
-
It’s time to visit and solve riddles! Once the treasure hunt begins, you play on your own. We always have a Hunt Host on-site. To make sure you have a great experience, we are available anytime you need. If you get stuck, you can ask for a hint.
-
You follow a carefully designed road around the city (choose your neighborhood here). You will see the main sights and hidden gems while you answer funny questions. Along the way, learn Paris History and some fun facts (nothing to heavy, you are here to have fun).
-
No previous knowledge is required. On our scavenger hunts, most of our questions don’t work out of context. You are searching for answers that will help you see a monument with new eyes. You can answer them only when you are in front of the monument or standing in the correct spot. Sometimes, they can be more escape-game friendly, with quick quizzes. But if you see the trick, you won’t need to go online to find the correct answer.
Finish: Solve the Mystery Together
-
You visit Paris and complete the game on your own terms. Our treasure hunts in Paris take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the time you take to enjoy the top monuments and their history.
-
At the end, you meet your Host again and solve the mystery together!
