You start beneath the shadow of a narrow Renaissance façade, phone in hand and a city that has lived through Roman emperors and silk merchants pressing in around you. The mobile app nudges you toward a cobbled alley; a riddle points you at a carved lintel, and suddenly the streets of Vieux Lyon feel like a map of clues rather than just places.

You start beneath the shadow of a narrow Renaissance façade, phone in hand and a city that has lived through Roman emperors and silk merchants pressing in around you. The mobile app nudges you toward a cobbled alley; a riddle points you at a carved lintel, and suddenly the streets of Vieux Lyon feel like a map of clues rather than just places.
Lyon’s layers—Roman Lugdunum on Fourvière, medieval traboules threading through hilltop neighborhoods, and the 19th‑century silk trade that shaped the Presqu’île—become the scaffolding of the game. The Rhône and Saône, long agents of trade and change, still divide and define the city’s quarters; they also provide easy orientation as you move from squares to hidden passages.
This self‑guided urban escape uses a mobile app to lead teams to monuments, quiet courtyards, and lesser‑seen façades while posing observation‑based puzzles. Expect roughly 2½ hours on foot across the city center, with sections of cobbles, occasional stairways inside traboules, and lively cafés nearby for breaks.
Practical side: bring a charged smartphone, comfortable shoes for uneven streets, and a small power bank. Public transit is abundant (metro, tram, buses), and the game is wheelchair‑friendly on many routes, though some historic passages have steps. Book a private session for a family or small group, check language availability before you go, and allow extra time for photos or a lunch break in a local bouchon. The game rearranges how you see Lyon—history becomes a set of clues, and every façade dares you to look closer.
The experience is designed for about 2.5 hours of on‑foot play across Lyon’s city center, though groups may take longer if they pause for food or photos.
Yes—the adventure is app‑guided and requires a smartphone to receive clues and track progress; bring a charger if your battery is low.
Many streets and plazas in the route are wheelchair‑accessible, but some historic traboules include stairs—contact the operator if you require specific accessibility accommodations.
This is suitable for families and private groups; the experience is designed to be inclusive and is marked as physically easy for all fitness levels.
