The context...
- Mirabeau has a mission for you.
he said "it's not a question of leading the revolution that's already been made, but of holding it back", so he's asking you to do just that: get together 57 million pounds in order to save France bankruptcy - For this a code exists and is hidden in Versailles. Thanks to it, an American sovereign wealth fund can be set up to save France. But the Americans don't want you to find this code...
- Yet this fund exists. It had been negotiated in secret during the American War of Independence, which made us friends of the New World but ruined France, leading to the Revolution.
The route of the treasure hunt...
- Take a tour of the historic Versailles district, where the 5 months that changed the history of France took place.

Your challenge!
Will you be able to save France from bankruptcy and change history?
You have 2 hours to find a code hidden in Versailles that will allow you to unlock the 57 million needed to hold back the Revolution!
Don't panic, your guide will be there to help you if you get lost or stuck.
To round off this treasure hunt in style...

- A verbal joust is proposed

- Very nice visit, very interesting
Written by Isabelle MAIRE, on 30-09-2024
What I liked: - the itinerary, the historical reminders, the anecdotes and also having a lot of information on important events, well explained. - the discovery of places I'd never visited before: hôtel des menus plaisirs, salle du jeu de paume, cour des senteurs - the organization, the well-crafted envelope Nothing I didn't like No difficulties during the visit Yes, I'd recommend this activity and I'll be going back to these lesser-known places than the Château at Versailles.
- History in its theater

We all had a great time visiting Versailles in this way. We were made to feel very welcome, put in the mood in a friendly way and accompanied all the way with clear explanations. The elements of history, told in the heart of their theaters, were fascinating. Thank you very much.

We all had a great time. The treasure hunt was fun, neither too difficult nor too simple. The explanations were fascinating. A tour of Versailles that tells us about the great history, but off the beaten track. A few surprises also spiced up the game.

Over 2 hours of wandering around Versailles, discovering historical facts brilliantly commented on by a passionate and fascinating host, who even had us taste the Queen's delicacies! A warm, friendly and instructive experience to be shared without moderation with families of all ages, or with friends.

Family outing. 5 children aged 13 / 11 / 9 and 5. Everything is very easy on foot, even for a little one. Baptiste is fascinating and takes us right into the heart of the 1789 revolution! Even the teenagers felt that their school program was not the same, only better and much more exciting!
- Perfect for a family visit to Versailles
Written by Jeanne Lemoigne, 12-05-2024

Very easy to book. Contact with the guide was quick and very friendly. Nice walk in Versailles on the "great" places of the revolution. Some very interesting explanations provided by the guide about this period. A little more anecdotes about each of the places we pass through. I'd recommend

Really worth it. Time flies when the unfolding of events is told in such exquisite detail and reinforced by the actual places where they took place. 5 stars for us!

Baptiste and his partner are excellent, patient, very professional and captivating. Thanks to both of them. Too bad the price is so high.....for 5 people, that's a hefty budget. Too expensive, unfortunately.
- Very nice experience!
Written by Florence, on 17-07-2023
An escape game to discover that the revolution also began in Versailles, with many traces still visible today! Our guide, Baptiste, was very friendly and made sure we had a great time! To be repeated!
