Turn your visit of the Marais into a real-life adventure!
During this playful and cultural investigation, you’ll start near Saint-Paul Church with a game booklet full of riddles, stories, and local anecdotes. Your mission: follow the trail of a mysterious character while discovering the most beautiful corners of the Marais.
The route takes you through iconic landmarks such as Place des Vosges, Hôtel de Sully, and Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, as well as hidden gems only Parisians know.
At each stop, you’ll have to observe the buildings, find details, or solve a clue. The puzzles are varied and accessible for everyone — a fun way to learn while exploring.
You play entirely on your own: no guide, no app, just your curiosity and your logic! You can pause whenever you like, but the game automatically ends after 3 hours.
