Overview

A girl was pulled from the Seine with a smile so peaceful they called her the Mona Lisa. Her ghost haunts the riverbanks, and you are the detective sent to solve her case. This murder mystery puzzle walk leads through 9 of Paris's darkest landmarks.

Begin at the Arc du Carrousel and descend to the Seine where the body was found. Track the Red Man of the Tuileries, a ghost haunting Paris since Catherine de Medici ordered his murder. Decode clues at the Palais de Justice and Sainte-Chapelle.

Stand before Notre Dame's 28 stone kings, walk Paris's most haunted street, and uncover the cannibal barber whose pies were served to a king. Each stop layers real history over a chilling storyline with audio narration.

Based on the true story of L'Inconnue de la Seine, whose death mask became the CPR dummy Rescue Annie, making her the most kissed face of all time.

Play anytime at your own pace using the Questo app. Best after dark. Not suitable for children.
