Play detective in Paris: a private, two-hour outdoor escape game through the Marais and Bastille led by a game master. Use maps, locks and observation to solve a Prohibition-era mystery without relying on smartphones.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out into the narrow lanes of the Marais and the city pulls a clue from its pockets—ink-faded posters, a carved lintel, the hush of an alley that remembers a different century. Your game master hands you a map and a satchel of puzzles; today Paris is less a postcard than an active crime scene from the 1920s, and the streets dare you to read them.
