The Eiffel Tower’s adventure game
A fun paper chase for all the family
Free for all visitors to the Tower (and available in English), our adventure game invites you to unlock the secret of the Eiffel workshops alone or in teams, with family or friends, to find the name of a confidential dossier, by deciphering a series of riddles scattered throughout the 1st floor as well as in the Tower’s gardens. Designed with the authors of the musical show "The 300-meter Tower", the game will embark you in a fun leap back in time, immersing the players in the Tower’s history.

Spiral staircase section
Did you know that originally it was a spiral staircase which linked the second floor to the top? Gustave Eiffel would use it to reach the office that he‘d set up for himself! As it had become obsolete, the staircase was taken down in 1983.
Twenty sections were subsequently sold at auction for a very good price.
On the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, you can take a closer look at one of the remaining pieces of this historic staircase. It measures 4.30 meters in height.
