Corporate Treasure Hunt - Lyon Museum of Fine Arts

What awaits you.

Dive into the heart of art and history! Your teams will explore the hidden treasures of the Museum of Fine Arts, a true labyrinth of inspiration and discovery. This is one of our corporate treasure hunts: 1h30 to 2h30, for 10 to 80 participants. Find it among our treasure hunts in Lyon.

Immerse your teams in the former abbey of the Dames de Saint-Pierre! Around the cloister and its garden, from Veronese to Picasso, your collaborators will explore the Saint-Pierre palace at their own pace. A challenge awaits them in each room: meticulous observation, riddles, puzzles, photo challenges, scavenger hunts, or timeline games. Lyon's largest museum is explored in a new way.

What you will experience together:

  • Discover the secrets of the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts through an exciting and fun quest.
  • Collaborate to solve complex riddles and unlock the stages of your treasure hunt.
  • Strengthen communication and team cohesion in a unique cultural environment.

Price of a treasure hunt at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts

The treasure hunt at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts costs from €1,590 excl. VAT for 10 participants, or €159 per person. The pricing then scales by group size: €1,890 excl. VAT for up to 30 participants (i.e. €63 per person); €4,290 excl. VAT for up to 80 participants (i.e. €54 per person). These amounts are those shown in the price simulator for the location's postcode.

Organising a treasure hunt at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts during a seminar

The treasure hunt at the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts fits into a corporate seminar as a session of 1h30 to 2h30, including briefing and results announcement: the format fits within a half-day. Everything takes place on a single site: there is only one meeting point to communicate and no transfers to organise during the activity.

  • A bonding time: mixed teams, informal exchanges, and shared memories.
  • A clear sequence 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.

Ticketing, route, and déroulement

The déroulement is in four stages: briefing and distribution of a touchscreen tablet per team, choice of a route through the museum's rooms and masterpieces, photo, video, and observation challenges triggered in front of the artworks, followed by live scoring and announcement of the ranking.

Regarding access, tickets are personalised: each participant must carry an ID with their name on it. Tickets are valid for 30 minutes, do not grant priority access, a free cloakroom is available, and any exit from the museum is final. For an outdoor route, check out the treasure hunt in Vieux Lyon. You will find other comparable formats among our corporate treasure hunts.

Participant numbers and profiles

The activity is designed for 10 to 80 participants. It targets a department, a project team, or a cross-functional group: teams are formed during the briefing, making it a good integration tool for colleagues who don't interact much.

The route is on foot within the Lyon Museum of Fine Arts, with no particular difficulty. In terms of skills, the game combines orientation, observation, and general knowledge: everyone finds a role in their team, and no one needs to know the venue in advance. If your group size or context falls outside this framework, we also create custom formats; otherwise, the treasure hunt at the Louvre Museum covers a similar need.
