As an adventure manager on the coast, I organize unforgettable treasure hunts in the city of NICE for the general public.
Seven days of the week, morning, afternoon or evening, we organize private treasure-hunts,on the occasion of a birthday, or that of a loved one, or maybe even on the eve of your wedding,so you can have fun while saying goodbye to your last day of being single !
Our treasure hunts have many aims: they are fun, entertaining and rewarding, as well as allowing you to connect with the history of the city and its unique heritage.
During the game, you will meet our costumed characters who will present you with general knowledge quizzes.
Duration of treasure-hunt : from 2h to 3h.
The departure of the hunt takes place at Place Massena, exactly at the fontaine d’Apollon.
The Captain of the hunt will be there to welcome you.
You will then choose how many members are in your team and the name of the team. Teams are made up of 3 to 7 members. If you are more than members it would be interesting to make 2 teams as this would lead to a healthy competition between you.
A booklet will be given to each team.
On reading this booklet you will discover the history of our beautiful city of Nice, as well as that of the pirate Black Morgan. Stage by stage throughout the game there will be puzzles to solve, taking you from place to place until finally, you will discover the hidden treasure.
During the hunt, you will discover the wonders of the Baroque city, its natives, and its famous characters .. artists, writers, philosophers and explorers, they all emerge from the shadow of Morgan the pirate.
You will feel the charm of what was called “la Nouvelle Ville” … the New Town, which was built in the nineteenth century during the Belle Epoque in order to accommodate the needs of new arrivals and tourists coming from all around the world.
The route will take you around different viewpoints, through picturesque little squares, down dark alleys that smell of the middle-ages, where the buildings seem to reach up to join each other in the azur sky, to extraordinary places, even to places unknown to certain Nicois.
Along the circuit you will encounter our disguised characters who will present you with varied quizzes and scrolls that will allow you to continue your quest.
However, rest assured that this game is physically accessible to all. As for puzzles to be solved, you operate as a team, one of the members bringing their own particular knowledge in a certain area, another might bring his education to other subjects, others, an instinct, an insight, and others, a flair or a talent. No participant, no team can be left stranded. This is team work.
As was so well expressed by Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic games,
in his famous quote that :
“the most important thing is taking part”.
So, future hunters, Good Luck !
From the Place Massena, starting exactly at the foot of the Apollo Fountain, the treasure hunters will cover a part of theOld Town, the Renaissance and neighbourhoods built by the widening of the harbour in the eighteenth century.
Through a maze of alleyways and architectural remnants of the past, on to places of historical memory, the hunters will complete puzzles, their goal being to find, after many an adventure, the hidden treasure of the buccaneer Black Morgan.
This gunner lived in the eighteenth century and maneuvered on the pirate brig named “Sans Pitie” (“No Mercy)which was commanded by a captain nicknamed “La Buse” (“The Buzzard”).
In 1729, following a violent struggle in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer against a frigate flying the flag of the House of Savoy, of which Nice and Villefranche, not yet a part of France, all track of the buccaneer was lost.
They say in the taverns of the port and the Old City, that this swindler of the seas had amassed, through his many robberies, a fabulous booty, which is for you to uncover !!
Thanks to its rich History and exceptional climate, Nice boasts unique architectural and natural wonders.
From the narrow streets of the Old Town, steeped in the spirit of the Renaissance, to the magical Promenade des Anglais, challengers will set out to discover these treasures.
A heritage celebrated by a host of renowned writers, painters, and musicians.
