Company Treasure Hunt - Citadelle of Lille

What awaits you.

The Citadelle of Lille opens its doors to you! Prepare for total immersion where laughter, discoveries, and collective pride will light up your teams' journey! This is one of our corporate treasure hunts: 1h30 to 2h30, from 10 participants. Find it among our treasure hunts in Lille.

Immerse your teams in Vauban's stronghold! Around the citadel, its ramparts, and the Bois de Boulogne in Lille, your employees progress at their own pace. A challenge awaits them at each stage: orientation, observation, search, creative challenge, blind test, photo challenge, puzzle, or mini-games. The queen of citadels rarely surrenders without a fight.

What your teams will experience together:

  • Explore the Citadelle of Lille, armed with a tablet, for an interactive urban adventure
  • Tackle clever challenges and unlock riddles, boosting their team spirit
  • Strengthen bonds, share laughter, and celebrate every collective success with enthusiasm

Price of a treasure hunt at the Citadelle of Lille

The treasure hunt at the Citadelle of Lille costs from €1,390 excl. VAT for 10 participants, or €139 per person. The pricing then scales by group size: €1,590 excl. VAT for up to 30 participants (i.e. €53 per person); €4,390 excl. VAT for up to 100 participants (i.e. €44 per person); €7,990 excl. VAT for up to 200 participants (i.e. €40 per person). These amounts are those shown in the price simulator for the location's postcode.

Beyond 200 participants, the scale ends and the price is provided via a custom quote. To compare with another format in the category, take a look at the treasure hunt in the city centre of Lille.

Organising a treasure hunt at the Citadelle of Lille during a seminar

The treasure hunt at the Citadelle of Lille fits into a corporate seminar as a 1h30 to 2h30 session, briefing and results announcement included: the format fits within a half-day. The route is covered on foot from a single meeting point, allowing it to be combined with a morning meeting or an evening dinner without additional logistics.

  • A bonding time: mixed teams, informal exchanges, and shared memories.
  • A clear structure for participants: a start, challenges, a ranking, an award ceremony.
  • A format that complements a larger corporate event, convention, or corporate party.

Route, tablets, and schedule

The schedule is divided into four stages: briefing and distribution of a tablet per team, choice of a route within the park and architectural elements of the Citadelle, photo, video, and observation challenges triggered by the interactive map, followed by the announcement of the ranking and prize-giving.

The host officiates live via chat. The route is outdoors and the activity is cancelled in case of severe weather, starting from an orange alert. For an indoor alternative, check out the treasure hunt at the La Piscine museum. You'll find other comparable formats among our corporate treasure hunts.

Number of participants and target audience

The activity is designed for 10 participants and up, with no upper limit announced. It suits both a department and an entire company: teams are formed during the briefing, making it a great integration tool for colleagues who don't often interact. Teams are then composed of 6 to 8 people.

The rally is on foot: participants must be comfortable walking around the Citadelle of Lille for the duration of the activity. In terms of skills, the game combines orientation, observation, and general knowledge: everyone finds a role within their team, and no one needs to know the area beforehand. If your group size or context differs from this, we also create bespoke formats; otherwise, the treasure hunt in Vieux-Lille covers a similar need.
