3 2-Hour Experiences in Nice to Build a Day Around

1.Immersive outdoor escape game in Nice 2h

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $42Our pick

Follow a prankster thief’s trail through Nice with a backpack of puzzles, a telephone, and clues tied to the city’s landmarks. Tiffany starts and ends the private game, while you explore independently at your own pace. The route may include Old Nice, art details, and the flower market.

“The game was a great way to spend an afternoon in this city. It took us to places we thought we knew, but surprised us by revealing little details that we probably would never have noticed otherwise. We were 2 people (plus 1 dog), but it can also be really fun to do this in a group. We chose not to use Google, to make it more fun and challenging, but at one point when we were stuck, Tiffany was immediately available for help. Would definitely recommend!”
