Treasure Hunt: The Secrets of Moulay Hassan

An unusual treasure hunt in the heart of Marrakech's medina

Experience an interactive treasure hunt in the medina of Marrakech, far removed from conventional guided tours. This unique activity in Marrakech plunges you into a genuine large-scale investigation through secret alleyways, souks and hidden corners of the ochre city.

The mystery of Moulay Hassan, royal calligrapher of the 16th century

The story begins with the discovery of the journal of a 16th-century merchant, revealed by Moulay Hassan, former royal calligrapher. This journal mentions a treasure hidden somewhere in the souks of Marrakech — a secret that no one has uncovered for 500 years. It's up to you to solve it.

A fun team adventure, not just a tourist walk

9 stages, 9 riddles across the medina

The game unfolds in 9 stages and 9 successive challenges: codes to decipher, clues hidden in unusual locations throughout the medina, and encounters with locals and artisans who will only help you if you know how to speak to them.
