Your mission 

The day before your arrival, employees of a Marais bank contacted us after discovering that a safe had been emptied of its contents. Since the incident, they have not heard from their director. To uncover what happened, you'll need to conduct your own investigation.

This treasure hunt unfolds like an outdoor escape game in Paris, where logic and observation will be your best assets in solving the mystery. It’s one of the most fun things to do in Paris for puzzle lovers who want to visit Paris differently. You'll start with the police report, which contains information from the day the director was last seen.

At the meeting point, our hunt host will greet you and set you up, explaining the plot of the hunt and your itinerary. Each clue is independent and won’t block your progress. Plus, we’ll look out for your team during the investigation and answer your call if you've wandered astray.

 

⚠️ About the difficulty level
This escape game can be a bit challenging and is designed for those who enjoy solving more complex puzzles, making it ideal for team building in Paris or for families with older kids looking for a more advanced family-friendly activity. That said, we’ve noticed that many participants choose this treasure hunt mainly for the Marais neighborhood—sometimes without paying too much attention to the difficulty level (or happily ignoring it 😉). To make sure everyone enjoys the experience, you’ll be asked at the start of the game which answer sheet you prefer: the standard version for puzzle lovers, or a more accessible version, allowing you to progress more smoothly while still enjoying the investigation and the walk. (Unless you’re taking part in a team building event… in that case, may the best team win 😉.)

HITGHLIGHTS

Your investigation begins at Métro Saint-Paul, in front of the astonishing Saint-Paul Saint-Louis Church. Once you've solved the first puzzle, you'll head towards Place des Vosges before exploring the 17th-century private mansion district. You'll then continue your inquiry in the Jewish quarter before transitioning to the lively atmosphere of the Marais Gay district. Your Parisian investigation will conclude in front of the Georges Pompidou Museum, where we'll be waiting for your conclusions.

​

For those who prefer a more leisurely stroll than a full puzzle challenge, this tour also works as a cultural walk—one of the most fun things to do in Paris if you want to visit Paris differently. And if you’re a food lover, we’ve included a few sweet addresses to try along the way.
