About this activity
A smartphone-based exploration game set in Paris's Latin Quarter and Panthéon area that blends interactive puzzle-solving with historical storytelling. You navigate authentic streets using GPS, solve riddles, and complete photo challenges while uncovering narratives tied to figures like Marie Curie and the district's scientific and revolutionary past.
Paris hums beneath winter skies, its stone streets golden with history and secrets. In the hushed corridors of the Latin Quarter, a voice from another era calls out: Marie Curie, out of time but never out of purpose. Her legacy, once sealed away, has begun to stir again. Someone is seeking the fragments of a formula too dangerous for any one mind. You follow her memories through cryptic courtyards, forgotten chapels and echoing lecture halls. Each location is alive with whispers of revolt, revelation and risk. As the city breathes around you, you uncover not an object, but a responsibility, a decision Marie never dared to make. Now, in the crossroads of science and memory, the story waits for you to finish it. The truth is out there, just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
What is the Secrets of Paris Exploration Game?
The Secrets of Paris: Panthéon Area City Game is a self-guided, GPS-based game that takes you deep into the historic heart of Paris. Using your smartphone, you unlock the secrets of the city by solving puzzles, cracking riddles and completing photo challenges. Along the way you uncover stories about the history, the culture and the hidden gems of the quarter. Whether you are visiting for the first time or know the streets by heart, this interactive exploration game is a different way to experience the city. Play alone for a personal adventure or team up with friends, family or colleagues for a shared challenge. In practice it plays as a self-guided scavenger hunt and walking tour through Paris: Panthéon Area in one.
