Discover Paris Along the Seine
Do you want to explore Paris in a unique and playful way? This Seine treasure hunt offers one of the most fun things to do in Paris—where sightseeing and puzzle-solving come together. Walk safely along the scenic, car-free riverbanks and uncover stories from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre, passing under iconic bridges and beside majestic monuments.
A Unique, Self-Guided Tour Experience
This treasure hunt is self-guided: after a brief introduction at the meeting point, you’ll receive your game booklet and explore the city on your own. There’s no guide walking with you — just your group, the streets of Paris, and a trail of clues that reveal the city in a new way.
Your mission : Crack the code and open the cryptex !
Your mission is to uncover the password that will open the cryptex. Each clue is independent, so an unsolved puzzle will never prevent you from continuing your adventure. At the starting point, your host will introduce the story, explain your mission and provide everything you need to play. And if you need a little help along the way, we remain available throughout the experience.
