The experience

About this quest

Step into the shoes of two determined detectives chasing a cunning art thief through the streets of Paris. From grand monuments and poetic hideouts to secret gardens and riverside views, each stop reveals a new clue in the city-wide hunt. But beware, the thief is always one step ahead, leaving cryptic hints that could either lead you closer… or send you in circles. Can you solve the puzzles, unravel the twist, and bring the Forgotten Heist to an end before they vanish into the Parisian night?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Place du Panthéon and loops back there at the end. Along the way the route passes Porte Gay-Lussac, the Cour Carrée, the Pont des Arts, the Institut de France, Café de Flore, Église Saint-Sulpice and the Medici Fountain, so you finish where you began.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on about 45 minutes of play over a walking route of around 3.5 km. It can take longer if you linger at the stops or spend extra time cracking the thief's cryptic hints, and you can go at whatever pace suits you.
Can we play as a group on one ticket?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, playing on up to the number of devices stated for the quest. Pairs of friends work especially well, since you play as two detectives comparing notes and solving the clues together as you move through the streets.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking slot is needed. You start whenever you like on your phone, with no guide or group to meet. If you want to stop for a coffee in Saint-Germain or break off for the day, you can pause the game and continue later from where you left off.
Is it played outdoors, and what if it rains?
It is an outdoor walk through the streets, squares and gardens of the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain, with puzzles set in what is in front of you at each stop. Dress for the weather, and if a shower arrives you can pause and pick up the chase later.
