, THE TREASURE HUNT GUIDE,

All about
the treasure hunt
in Marseille.

Where can you organise a treasure hunt in Marseille?+×

A corporate treasure hunt in Marseille can take place in most of the Phocaean city's iconic districts. The most popular are the Vieux-Port and its traditional boats, the Panier district and its colourful streets, the area around the MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean, as well as La Joliette and its redeveloped Docks. Happy Unity has ready-to-use routes for these areas and can also design a rally in the district of your choice, from Cours Julien to Endoume, or directly within your Marseille premises.

Can you do a treasure hunt in a museum in Marseille?+×

Yes. Our indoor routes take over Marseille's major cultural venues: the MuCEM and its collections on Mediterranean civilisations, the Marseille History Museum and its ancient port, or the exhibition spaces of the Villa Méditerranée. Teams solve observation riddles sheltered from the weather, making it the ideal format for combining culture and cohesion during a seminar.

How does a team building treasure hunt in Marseille unfold?+×

A team building treasure hunt in Marseille begins with an on-site briefing, then your employees are divided into teams of 4 to 8 people and receive a tablet (or use their smartphone). They then follow a route punctuated by riddles, photo challenges and observation tasks, from the Vieux-Port to the streets of the Panier, geolocated by the Indiana app. Points accumulate until a final ranking and, if you wish, an awards ceremony supervised by a Happy Unity facilitator.

How many participants can a treasure hunt in Marseille accommodate?+×

A treasure hunt in Marseille adapts equally well to a dozen employees or several hundred participants divided into simultaneous teams. Thanks to the live dashboard of the Indiana app, we multiply the checkpoints between the Vieux-Port, the MuCEM esplanade and the Joliette district to avoid congestion, accommodating up to 5,000 people for very large events.

What happens in case of bad weather in Marseille?+×

The weather, including the mistral, will not compromise your Marseille event. Each outdoor route has an indoor Plan B: switching to the MuCEM, the Marseille History Museum, a Docks gallery or your own premises. The decision is generally made 24 hours beforehand, and the Indiana app instantly reloads the backup route without any loss of time on the day.

Is a treasure hunt in Marseille suitable for all employees?+×

Yes. Our Marseille scenarios prioritise observation, reflection and cooperation rather than physical performance, allowing everyone to contribute their skills regardless of age or role. Routes are adjusted to accessibility constraints, for example by staying on the flat quays of the Vieux-Port and La Joliette rather than on the steep climbs towards Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde.

Can a treasure hunt be customised for my company in Marseille?+×

Absolutely. For your treasure hunt in Marseille, we rewrite the scenario around your brand, your values, a product launch or an internal message. Riddles, challenges, visuals and prize-giving are adapted, and the route can connect places that are important to you, from your headquarters in La Joliette to a seminar venue in the Vieux-Port, passing through a symbolic site like Fort Saint-Jean.

Which treasure hunt format should you choose in Marseille?+×

That depends on your objective. To discover a district, opt for a geolocated urban rally in the Panier or around the Vieux-Port. For a half-day seminar, the City Express offers a short and dynamic version. For a convivial experience, the Gourmet Rally connects the best Phocaean addresses, while the iPad treasure hunt and the MuCEM format are suitable for groups seeking a weather-sheltered setting. Our project managers will guide you based on the number of participants and available time.

How long does a treasure hunt in Marseille last?+×

A treasure hunt in Marseille generally lasts between 1h30 and 2h30, including briefing and final ranking. This duration adjusts to your programme: a short City Express version for a half-day around the Vieux-Port, or a longer format combined with a fish lunch on the port or an evening on the rooftops of the MuCEM.

Do you need an app or equipment to play in Marseille?+×

Everything is provided. For your treasure hunt in Marseille, your teams play via our Indiana application, on the tablets we provide or on their smartphones. No complex installation: the app geolocates teams from the Vieux-Port to the Panier, triggers riddles in the right place and automatically calculates the ranking. You don't need to prepare anything technical.

Can a treasure hunt be combined with the MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean?+×

Yes, this is a very popular combination in Marseille. The MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean, linked by a panoramic walkway above the Mediterranean, offer a spectacular setting, both indoor and outdoor, for a riddle route. It can be extended towards the J4 esplanade and the neighbouring streets of the Panier to create a coherent half-day combining games, culture and sea views.

Why choose Happy Unity for a treasure hunt in Marseille?+×

For over 20 years, Happy Unity has been designing team building experiences and has an in-depth knowledge of the Marseille area. We master scouting, authorisations and logistics for the Phocaean city, from the smallest groups to events for several thousand people gathered around the Vieux-Port. A dedicated project manager will support you from conception to facilitation, with our in-house developed Indiana app for a fluid and 100% customisable experience.
