On the programme

On the agenda for your treasure hunt in Old Nice:

Escape Nice offers you a new way to discover Nice: a mix of treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, and outdoor escape game.

Independently and only with your group, you will head into the streets of Old Nice to find a stolen piece of art. The game is designed to be accessible even if you don't know the city. On the contrary, the goal is to make you observe Nice differently, through its hidden details, anecdotes, and iconic or lesser-known places.

The difficulty level is easy: the aim is to have fun, cooperate, and (re)discover Nice in a playful way.

 

The story:

On a dark night, a work by Matisse was stolen from a museum in Nice.

The thief, a prankster at heart, decided to challenge you: he scattered clues throughout the city to put you on the trail of the stolen treasure.

Your mission is simple: follow the clues, solve the puzzles, and find the chest where the piece of art is hidden.

Will you be able to take on the challenge and outsmart the thief?

 

Your mission:

With your team, you have 2 hours maximum to find the final chest.

You will be equipped with a complete game kit: a backpack filled with objects, puzzles, photos, items to manipulate, braille clues, as well as a charged phone provided to receive the puzzles and track your progress.

The 8 items in the kit will lead you to 8 locations in Nice. At each location, a puzzle and a photo challenge will appear on the phone. The city will give you the answers: you will need to observe the details around you to advance.

The result of all the puzzles will indicate the final position of the chest.

 

Adventure flow:

Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed by Tiffany, your game master, who will explain the rules and hand you the kit: a backpack filled with objects + a charged phone.

You will then head out independently into Old Nice to search for clues, solve puzzles, and take on photo challenges.

If you get stuck, lost, or need help, Tiffany remains available remotely to guide you.

The game automatically ends after the allotted time. The phone will indicate in real time the remaining time and the meeting point to join Tiffany. The timing is intentionally generous to allow you to complete the adventure without rushing, while taking the time to enjoy the city.

Once the chest is found, Tiffany will come to collect the kit and offer you a small souvenir from Nice: a postcard from a Nice-based creator, Elsa Riviera.

 

A surprise to hide in the final chest:

You can personalize the experience by hiding a surprise in the final chest: birthday gift, letter, jewelry, marriage announcement, pregnancy announcement, gender reveal…

Just specify it when booking.

Chest dimensions: 15 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 6 cm high.
