An Alternative to the Traditional Guided Tour !
Explore the most beautiful and interesting neighborhoods of the City of Light & Love on a truly unique Parisian escapade.
Paris Ma Belle’s Treasure Hunts are played in teams with a dash of competition! These scavenger hunts will ask you to take part in an investigation based on a true story of Paris history or in a real treasure hunt. An acute sense of observation and team spirit will guide you to discover, in a fun and one of-a-kind way, the architecture, the culture and the history and of Paris through legends and anecdotes.
During the two hour adventures, players will have to answer questions, riddles and find hidden messages to solve the puzzle and win the hunt!
Treasure Hunts : True Fun for All !
No need to be an expert on Paris : your sense of observation will be your best asset and our games are open to all audiences.
Between colleagues, with family or friends, take the time to discover the other side of the capital through a pleasant walk in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Paris.
You will play in teams of 5/6 people (on average) and will compete against other teams in a spirit of challenge and conviviality.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
—
How many people are in each team ?
Our treasure hunts are designed to be played in teams of 4 to 6 people.
Will other people be in my team ?
If you are a groupe of more than 4 people, we guarantee that nobody else will be on your team.
If you’re alone, or if there’s 2 or 3 of you, we may join other participants to form a team.
Can we join in public sessions as a group of 7 or more ?
Our public sessions are composed by groups of all size : you will form 1, 2, 3 etc. teams depending on whether you are up to 6, up to 12, up to 18, etc.
If you are 7, 8, 9, etc. and you want to stay together and form only one team, that’s not a problem, but you will only have one roadbook, like the other teams.
How can we book a session for a 7+ group on this site ?
You can make up the size of your group using the rate tabs for 1 to 6 people.
Ex: for a group of 8 people, you can take 2 x 4, 6 + 2 or 5 + 3 tickets.
Is it possible to register separately or take additional places?
At the time of your reservation, your first name, name, telephone number and name of your TEAM LEADER will be asked. Just write the same name of TEAM LEADER in different bookings, so we will know that you play all in the same team.
Can people with reduced mobility participate in the treasure hunts ?
People with reduced mobility are welcome, as are pregnant women. However, they are the only judges of their walking ability. Our courses represent on average two hours of walking in Paris. That’s why we’d advise you to avoid the Montmartre and Père Lachaise courses, which are steep and paved.
If I somehow can't come, can I get a refund ?
There is no refund or exchange possible on tickets for public sessions (as it is for all other tickets for shows,theater, cinema, etc.). However, as tickets aren’t nominative, if you are not able to participate, you may offer your ticket to someone you know.
If it rains, what happens ?
Our public sessions are never canceled in case of rain. We advise you to prepare accordingly (raincoat, poncho, umbrella). In case of a day with heavy rain and thunderstorms, it may be decided on the morning of the game that the course will be switched to the Crime of the Palais-Royal, which is a mostly sheltered hunt. If this is the case, we will get in touch to confirm with you.
Should we bring equipment of any kind ?
You have nothing to worry about, we will provide the necessary equipment.
Should we print our ticket ?
No need to print your tickets, only the name under which you’ve registered will be asked.
Can children participate - and do they have to pay ?
Our adult public sessions are also open to all, so children can come play or accompany you. Until 11 years old, you don’t need to book a ticket for them, as the course is free.
Are treasure hunts available on week-ends only ?
Our public sessions, open to all, are set up every Saturday and Sunday of the year, and sometimes on holidays. If you want to play during the week, don’t hesitate to contact us in order to privatize a hunt.
