In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Passe-Partout” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2621 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Passe-Partout” meme mean?
The name first means a key that opens any lock, then the character who carries the keys in the famous show. In conversation, it points to someone with access to every door, a person who knows all the corners of a place or can unblock any situation. It can also be used playfully for a friend who always seems to hold the right key, or for an all-powerful gatekeeper guarding a bunch of keys.
Where does the “Passe-Partout” meme come from?
Passe-Partout is one of the emblematic figures of Fort Boyard, the adventure game show broadcast in France since 7 July 1990, first on Antenne 2 and then on France 2. André Bouchet has played him since the very first episode, and he is the only character of the Fort to have appeared in every edition, including foreign versions, except Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge. He guides contestants through the corridors, holds their keys and clue capsules, and locks up anyone still in a cell before the water clock runs out. Silent for decades, he became a speaking character in 2024.

The reprint of the “Passe-Partout” card
The “Passe-Partout” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 5,300). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
