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 !
During the hunt, your team will collect clues and unlock the treasure step by step. At the start, our host introduces the storyline and explains your itinerary. Each clue is independent so you won’t get stuck. Best of all — no one loses. Everyone wins in our hunts! Once you have the booklet, it's time to go on an adventure, read the fun facts and have fun! If you’re ever stuck, we’ll help with a hint. This is how we make it a family-friendly activity in Paris—even younger participants can join with a little help.
