About this tour

Designed for teens but genuinely engaging for mixed-age families who want their museum visit to feel like an adventure rather than a lecture.

What to expect
You'll gather at the Louvre's carousel entrance where your guide explains the game mechanics and hands over your treasure hunt kit. Then you're off—your teens lead the way, spotting clues hidden within the museum's layout and artworks. Each puzzle solved reveals which masterpiece to tackle next and what to look for. Your guide shadows the group, ready to nudge you toward answers without spoiling the fun, and threads in context about the paintings as you pause at each stop. It's part scavenger hunt, part art lesson. Expect to walk steadily through several galleries; the physical demands are light but you'll cover distance.
