What if visiting Paris's most famous landmarks became a treasure hunt? This Adventure Lab offers a self-guided smartphone adventure around some of the capital's iconic sites. Follow the locations shown in the app, observe your surroundings and answer questions or solve clues to progress.
A treasure hunt without a physical box
Adventure Lab uses virtual, geolocated stages: there's no need to search for a hidden container. The app guides you along the route and validates each location as you go.
What exactly is geocaching?
Geocaching is a GPS-guided treasure hunt. In its classic form, you follow coordinates to find a small physical container and sign its logbook. Here, Adventure Lab replaces the box with virtual challenges: you have to be physically present, observe and answer questions to move forward.
How much does it cost?
The Adventure Lab route is free to play: a free account and the smartphone app are all you need. There is no ticket for the game itself, though you may incur personal transport or mobile-data costs. Some advanced Geocaching features require Premium membership, but these are not needed for this public Adventure Lab.
A route that can change while remaining interesting
The Louvre is a central reference point for locating this adventure within Paris, but the exact stages and order are those displayed in the app. This makes the game more resilient than a series of physical caches: a location can be updated without removing the experience.
A playful way to combine an urban walk, observation and discovering Parisian heritage.
