Projekt Paříž, Francie

It runs about as long as a movie, two and a half hours in Paris, except you are in it and someone might betray you. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. It is the rare activity where you are supposed to take selfies, point at buildings and whisper to each other in public. It is all part of the job. Puzzle experience is optional. Every mission goes better with a brave volunteer, and somebody will volunteer the wrong person. There may or may not be a double agent on your team. About 2.5 hours and 4 stops over roughly 2.6 km. Your phone is your handler and your only witness, and there is nothing to download. The verdict: better than a movie, mostly because nobody shushes you, and you leave with the photos. Who it's for: - Friends, couples and families with teens: finally, a day out with more to talk about than where to eat. - Solo travelers and anyone new in town: join an open session and team up with other players. You arrive alone and leave with a team, which is more than most networking events manage. - Private groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, girls' weekends, boys' trips, wedding parties, work teams and active over-55s. Pick the day; we will handle the intrigue. Book a private game for 1 to 8 players on a date you choose; a team of one works too. Prefer company? Join the open session every Sunday at 3pm to team up with other players. If nobody else books it, we let you know in advance so you can play solo or move to another date. Bigger groups play as several private teams. What to expect Turn up at Place Jacques Duhamel by your departure time. Meet at the footbridge over the Seine at the east end of the square, near the Port de Montebello quay. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 2.6 km on foot, finishing at the last stop about 2.5 hours later. Only the meeting point is shared in advance; the rest is revealed as you play. - Bring a charged phone for each player, with mobile data; a power bank helps - About 2.6 km of walking; wear comfortable shoes - Outdoors in typical weather; if conditions turn unsafe, we reschedule you or refund you - The challenges suit teens and adults; younger players are welcome with grown-ups on the team - This route is not suitable for wheelchair users. At least one stop is marked as not wheelchair accessible. If you need step-free access, contact us before booking.
