For €15 (including VAT) per booking, the Birthday Package adds several surprises to your dinner:
✨ A scent challenge to share with the whole group
💌 A souvenir card with a message to decipher
🎂 A surprise treat for the guest of honour
✍️ An envelope to personalise and keep after the experience
🎁 The option to have a present presented during dinner, on request
A birthday is an opportunity to get together and create new memories with our loved ones.
The Birthday Package enhances the dinner with a few special touches designed especially for the occasion. Some are intended for the guest of honour, whilst others invite all the guests to take part and share in the surprise.
Available at a flat rate of €15 (including VAT) per booking, it adds an extra special touch to this experience in the dark.
There are several surprises in store throughout the evening:
👃 An olfactory challenge
Dining in the dark naturally encourages you to rely on senses that you may use less consciously in everyday life. The Birthday Package gives you the chance to put your sense of smell to the test with a fun challenge to enjoy with your loved ones.
Several scents are presented, and participants are invited to identify them without being able to rely on their sight.
Compare your answers, discover that your nose isn't always as reliable as you thought, and most importantly, share the experience with the person whose birthday you are celebrating.
The answers are revealed afterwards with a scratch card, given to you at the end of the experience.
💌 A secret message to discover
Another surprise awaits the birthday guest: a birthday card featuring a message to decipher using the Braille alphabet provided on the back of the card.
You can take a few moments together to work out the hidden message.
The card can then be taken home by the birthday guest and kept as a memento of this special evening.
🍰 A sweet birthday treat
During the meal, a small surprise treat is specially set aside for the person whose birthday you are celebrating.
It is served in the dark, without interrupting the dining experience.
A simple but thoughtful touch, giving the birthday guest their own special moment during the evening.
🖊️ Words to keep after the evening
Looking for something more lasting than a photo or a message on your phone?
The Birthday Package includes a keepsake envelope. Guests can add a few words, an anecdote or a shared memory for the birthday guest.
Everyone can contribute to creating a collective memento that your loved one can keep after their visit to Dans le Noir ? Tours.
🎁 Already bought a present?
The Birthday Package can also be combined with a personal gift.
If it is small enough to handle discreetly, our team can hand it to your loved one during dinner, in the dark.
This allows you to keep the surprise intact right up until the moment they receive their present.
Simply let our team know before your visit so that we can arrange everything in advance.
