Do I have to come on board with my kid?

Yes. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the ticket price is per person, so the adult needs a ticket too.

Is it too scary for a 7-year-old?

Probably. The organizer advises against bringing kids under 8, since a witch and costumed creatures roam the boat.

At Ponton 1 of Bateaux Parisiens, Port de la Bourdonnais, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Check-in opens at 2pm, boarding with a photo runs 2:15pm to 2:45pm, then the game briefing until departure.

What happens when the boat docks?

The boat returns at 4:15pm, followed by a 15-minute debrief of the game, so you're done around 4:30pm.

About

La Croisière Maudite is a Halloween escape game played aboard a Bateaux Parisiens cruise on the Seine. A witch and her creatures take over the boat, and kids have to crack her riddles before it docks again to lift the curse. The game was designed with escape-game company Prizoners, and the city's best-known monuments pass by. The organizer advises against bringing younger kids, who may find it frightening.
