Corporate Treasure Hunt - Covered Passages

What awaits you.

The city comes alive and becomes your playground! Your teams are about to embark on a vibrant urban adventure, filled with discoveries and unexpected connections! This is one of our corporate treasure hunts: 1h30 to 2h30, for 10 to 200 participants. Find it among our treasure hunts in Paris.

Immerse your teams in the Paris of before the grand boulevards! Glass roofs, mosaics, stamp collectors, and old bookshops: from Galerie Vivienne to Passage des Panoramas, your colleagues move from one covered passage to another at their own pace. A challenge awaits them at each stage: navigation, observation, search, creative challenge, blind test, photo challenge, puzzle, or mini-games. And it's all done sheltered from the rain.

Here's what your teams will experience together:

  • Explore an iconic district in a fun way, guided by an interactive map on a tablet
  • Solve riddles, take on challenges, and interact with the live host via chat
  • Strengthen team bonds through laughter, discoveries, and shared collective pride

Price of a Treasure Hunt in the Covered Passages

The treasure hunt in the covered passages costs from €1,490 excl. VAT for 10 participants, which is €149 per person. The pricing then scales by group size: €1,690 excl. VAT for up to 30 participants (i.e., €56 per person); €4,590 excl. VAT for up to 100 participants (i.e., €46 per person); €8,090 excl. VAT for up to 200 participants (i.e., €40 per person). These amounts are as shown in the price simulator for the location's postcode.

The maximum group size stated is 200 participants; for groups larger than 200, the simulator will prompt a custom quote. To compare with another format in the same category, take a look at the treasure hunt in the Latin Quarter.

Organising a Treasure Hunt in the Covered Passages during a Seminar

The treasure hunt in the covered passages can be incorporated into a corporate seminar as a 1h30 to 2h30 session, briefing and award announcement included: the format fits within a half-day. The route is walkable from a single meeting point, allowing it to be combined with a morning meeting or an evening dinner without additional logistics.

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

Route, Tablets, and Itinerary

The itinerary is divided into four stages: briefing and distribution of a tablet per team, selection of a route through the historic arcades and their surroundings, photo, video, and observation challenges triggered by the interactive map, followed by the announcement of the ranking and prize-giving.

The host arbitrates live via chat. The route is outdoors, and the activity will be cancelled in case of severe weather, starting from a yellow alert. For another route of the same type, check out the treasure hunt at the Louvre Museum. You'll find other comparable formats among our corporate treasure hunts.

Group Size and Target Audience

The activity is designed for 10 to 200 participants. It's suitable for a department or an entire company: teams are formed during the briefing, making it a great integration tool for colleagues who don't often interact.

The rally is on foot: participants should be comfortable walking through Paris's covered passages for the duration of the activity. In terms of skills, the game combines navigation, 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 falls outside this framework, we also create bespoke formats; otherwise, the treasure hunt at the Opéra Garnier covers a similar need.

HOW IT WORKS

The activity in 4 steps

1

Briefing and Team Allocation

Our hosts will welcome you at the entrance of the Covered Passages for a full briefing of your mission. Each team receives a tablet with integrated GPS to navigate and solve the first riddles.
2

Strategy and Exploration

Your teams will develop their route strategy to maximise point collection. You'll explore the historic arcades, solving various challenges to accumulate as many discoveries as possible.
3

Challenges and Observation

The tablets trigger photo and video challenges, as well as observation riddles in key areas of the passages. Our hosts along the route will offer Escape Game-style challenges to test your cohesion.
4

Ranking and Awards Ceremony

The adventure concludes with the announcement of the final ranking, celebrating each team's performance. Our hosts will screen the best captured moments, sharing the camaraderie and team spirit.
