"2 hours to save the King": between an escape game and a life-size clue
An outdoor treasure hunt, ideal for families
- The aim of this historical treasure hunt, designed as a life-size clue or an outdoor escape game, is to discover the history of Versailles during the time of the Sun King while having fun. .
- You have the choice between 2 courses : the park of the Castle and its groves or the Saint Louis district of Versailles (historical heart of Versailles which is characterized by very wide avenues very pleasant to move).
- It's a visit very adapted to the whole family (ideal from 9 years old). No special historical knowledge is required, the game is designed for everyone.
The pitch:
- The pitch is inspired by the history of poisons that really existed under Louis XIV . In 1681, an attempt was made to poison the King. The person who commissioned it was never found.
- There are 8 suspects: Athénaïs de Montespan, Monsieur Frère, the Marquise de Sévigné, the Iron Mask, the Prince de Condé, Olympe Mancini, Anthonin de Lauzun, La grande Mademoiselle.
- Gabriel Nicolas de La Reynie, first lieutenant general of police (to whom we owe Paris ville lumière), despite a tenacious investigation, did not succeed in discovering the truth.
- Your mission: you will have 2 hours to take over and try to find the culprit !
The course of the treasure hunt / escape game :
- At the start, a sealed envelope (containing the instructions) and a vial of poison will be given to you by an instructor.
- Your team will have to find out who the assassin is in order to save the king.
- To help you, you will have clues throughout the treasure hunt and, if necessary, the help of a guide who can be reached at any time by telephone.
- 2 hours later, you will meet the host. The winning team will then be chosen.
- A surprise awaits all participants at the finish.

We booked this treasure hunt for our daughter's 13th birthday party: 6 teenagers aged 13, and they loved it! Accompanied by an adult, they visited the Saint Louis district of Versailles. They really enjoyed the outdoor Cluedo investigation. Thanks to Arthur for organizing this game and for all his anecdotes. The debriefing at the end was top-notch! We'd definitely recommend it!

Just a quick message to let you know that the treasure hunt was a great success. We had a wonderful time. Many thanks to Arthur, who was wonderful. It's a pity we had to leave quickly, as we would have liked to listen to Arthur for longer. Also a big thank you for the gift Arthur gave me. Many of my guests expressed a desire to return to Versailles to visit the Château. Well done to you both!

Many thanks for the game, which the students really enjoyed, even though "we walked a long, long way"! They were very proud to have all managed to solve the riddle without a joker! Thank you also for showing us some of the more remote parts of the Park, which is always enchanting with its water jets, whatever the weather! A huge thank you also for Arthur's flexibility and adaptability, which was invaluable on the only rainy day in weeks!!!! This meant we didn't have to cancel the outing and the game, which would have greatly disappointed the students!

Great treasure hunt in the Saint Louis district of Versailles. We were about twenty, from 10 to 80 years old, divided into 3 teams. The game is very well done, very well prepared. Arthur, who was the animator, made the game even more interesting and exciting, by mixing historical events and fascinating anecdotes. It was a flawless game, 100% of satisfaction in the group! Congratulations!

Wonderful adventure to live with family and friends. Original and exhilarating for young and old. It is a unique and fun discovery of the gardens of Versailles. To be tried at least once.
- Great moment

I highly recommend this activity. We had a great time as a family. The activity itself is very exciting and interesting. My 10 year old son really loved this escape game. It was great. The tasting at the end of the game was the icing on the cake. Very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
- Good family time
Written by Sandrine POUVREAU, on 12-05-2022
We did this activity as a family (children aged 10 and 14) in the park of Versailles. It was a very good moment, pleasant reception to give us the information, clear documents with varied and well stated enigmas. The children had a lot of fun! At the end we had a debriefing, the answers to the riddles and explanations about the history and the origins of this theme. Very nice and smiling speaker! Thank you for this good moment.
- Very nice day of discovery of Versailles

Well organized, fun, and friendly
- Pleasant moment
Written by Virginie Morin, 20-04-2022
We did this treasure hunt with four friends. We wanted to make our friends discover a Versailles district in a playful way. It was pleasant. However, the service for 4 at 100 euros is very expensive. At the end we got a fake diploma without any personalization, what is the use? Of course, we tasted a macaroon. The ratio of service to price is not justified. Virginie Morin
- Excellent experience. Our grandchildren loved it. Highly recommend it.

Written by Sylvie Bretones, on 14-12-2021
Very good activity on a cool Saturday in December, with the family, with two teams of 5 people (from 8 to 75 years old). A fun opportunity to talk about history. The riddles are well laid out, and Arthur was an excellent facilitator. Thank you very much, we had a great time and would recommend!
- GREAT TIME IN VERSAILLES WITH OUR CHILDREN
Written by Pauline PROUVOST, on 25-11-2021
Everything was great! The facilitator was funny and knowledgeable. Everything was superbly explained and we laughed a lot with our children aged 8 to 12. Ideal to discover Versailles and a part of the history of Louis XIV
- Great adventure!
Written by Camille LECLERC, 18-11-2021
Very good time spent at 12 around the case of the poisons! We made 3 teams of 4 and we walked around the historical district of Versailles, looking for clues to solve the enigma! Arthur, the organizer, very pleasant, dynamic and passionate about history, launched the starting signal under the statue of Louis XIV and welcomed us at the end of the enigma with a nice tasting and detailed explanations on the history of this case with additional information for the curious post escape game. A big thank you for this great adventure! To be repeated !!!!
- Very pleasant outing accessible to both children and adults
Written by Elisabeth Bousigniere, on 11-11-2021
We did not have any difficulties for the reservation by Internet. Arthur explained us the principle of the game and at the end the historical debriefing. Given the season we found the last question a little long because it was getting dark.
- Great activity
Written by Jacqueline Suzenne Julien, 01-11-2021
Fun, cultural and interesting treasure hunt. My 12 and 9 year old daughters were fascinated by the search for clues and by all the additional information provided by Arthur at the beginning and end of the game. Personally, I discovered the old Versailles through this game and I got involved in the research. My granddaughters invested themselves in finding the suspect who wanted to kill the king and they succeeded. Arthur, professional and very nice, rewarded them at the end of the game. What happiness. Your site is very accessible and I recommend this experience to all parents or grandparents. I will book other courses for the next Christmas vacations, depending on your program. They would like to repeat this experience.
- Very interesting
Written by Marie charlotte Savariau, on 08-10-2021
Culturally rich activity, Arthur is there to help you if needed at any time, I think however that the game is more suitable for children from 10/11 years. I recommend it !
- nice day of investigation. We were well received by Arthur, at the right RV point and at the right time. We were with our 12 year old daughter. She really enjoyed the tour and the search for clues. We were not very successful.

the organization, the framework of the game. No worries about booking. During the activity we used our jocker. We recommend this activity to all those who want to spend a good time with their family.
- Very nice!
Written by M., on 29-08-2021
Very nice experience in a remarkable site with a good balance adapted to all (contextualization, French history, supports and enigmas, warm welcome from a passionate person). Suggestion for addition on the reservation site: For families with reduced mobility, possibility of doing the investigation in a "golfette vehicle" following those who are on foot.
- Superb !!!!!!

A great treasure hunt in the Castle Gardens. A very good time with the family where we could walk through the gardens and discover the beauty of the place. Thanks to Arthur for his welcome and his kindness. We highly recommend this activity!
- very nice but expensive game
Written by Mélanie LELIEVRE, on 02-08-2021
Very good afternoon spent in the streets of Versailles! Very good welcome, very nice challenges! The treasure hunt is however expensive, as it does not require any installation or equipment (walk in the streets of Versailles).
- An activity to be privileged when the weather is good.
Written by Véronique Combaret, on 02-08-2021
What we liked was this playful tour of the gardens. "What I regret is not winning!" Lucile (age 9). We did not have any particular difficulties. We highly recommend this activity to escape-game lovers.
- very interesting and instructive for children
Written by REGINE MONNERIE, on 21-07-2021
the route is not very easy but very interesting, very good organization to recommend for children and adults very good walk in the gardens while having fun too bad that the gardens are paying.
- Good time in Versailles
Written by justine WACHNICKI, on 20-07-2021
The game is very interesting and the walk in Versailles also. However, the game is not adapted to children, it is better to play it with teenagers. This is the only negative point because the riddles are difficult. We found a very nice animator who is passionate about history, which is a plus ????
- Great afternoon in the park of the Palace of Versailles!!!
Written by FREDERIQUE MINICUCI, on 25-06-2021
We played this game with our family and it was a success! Very accessible especially to children, it allows to spend a good moment in family! Little difficulty for the silence drunkenness but thanks to the joker, we found the culprit! Many thanks to Arthur for his explanations and his kindness... and for the surprise
- 2 hours of a very good time
Written by stephanie DESJARDINS, on 30-05-2021
it was very interesting to do in Versailles rather than in the castle because we discovered unknown places. some clues were really difficult to find the last number. it's a very nice experience that I recommend.
- A rather successful outdoor escape game
Written by Odile Rombaut, on 28-05-2021
Already recommended to friends The meeting place to be simply at the foot of the statue of Louis XIV on the place d'armes Bravo for the well done documents and the envelope with the perfect seal The friendly and available animator The price is right for 2 hours The clues are not always easy but that's the point of the game We did 11 kms for me no problem, my little girl finds that an electric scooter would have been a plus ???????????? Good idea to finish in the courtyard of scents Funny idea of the macaroons Thank you for sending the reading information and ... Overall satisfied (fortunately no rain and not too windy)
- Too expensive
Written by ', on 18-05-2021
Very fun but too expensive for the activity because you use existing monuments, without real decor. We were with 12 year olds who really enjoyed it, but the explanations have to be simple and at their level to captivate them. Very nice guide.
- Great family experience!
Written by Johanna Degat , on 15-05-2021
A great family experience where all the brains are put to good use ???? nice walk in Versailles which allows us to discover the city in search of clues allowing us to solve the legible of this life-size escape games! All the senses are used until the olfactory and gustatory challenge! Perfectly orchestrated thanks to the Master of the Game who manages to set up a breathtaking suspense of two hours. To be recommended ++++
