Try a new type of experience, the perfect mix between a tour, an outdoor escape game, and a treasure hunt.

Discover Lyon’s fascinating history and attractions while you solve clues around the Old Town. Explore this charming city in France by playing a quest with your friends, significant other, or family.

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you answer the questions, the secret story of each place is unlocked.

The city game will take you about 1.5 hours to complete, but there’s no time limit which will allow you to go at your own pace.
