You step off the tram into a patchwork of cobbles and pass a river that dares you to keep moving—Lyon’s Saône and Rhône carve the city into an urban playground. The game drops you at a neighborhood corner with a dossier on your phone, digital characters to summon, and a murder mystery that uses stairways, courtyards, and narrow traboules as clues.
Lyon was Lugdunum under the Romans, a hill-city built for lookout and trade; Fourvière’s stone and the twin rivers shaped routes that silk merchants later stitched into the modern grid. The city’s geology—river terraces and steep hills—creates alleys and hidden passages that make for excellent puzzle locations. Culturally, expect culinary confidence (bouchons and market stalls nearby) and pockets of working-class history in Croix-Rousse where the game’s scenes can come alive.
Practical guidance: this is a self-guided, app-driven experience using the Loquiz platform—download and test the app before you start. The route is roughly two hours on foot over cobbles and occasional flights of steps; wear good walking shoes and carry a charged phone and portable charger. Teams of up to four per device play well together; larger groups should split tickets. Public transport links are strong, so pick a start near Bellecour or Vieux Lyon and pace the story to suit your group.
Expect photo tasks, code-cracking, and light physical movement rather than strenuous hiking. The game is family-friendly but be prepared for tight stairwells in older passages and variable weather on the riverfront.
After booking you’ll receive an instructions email—follow it to download Loquiz, choose your start point in the city, and begin the scenario whenever you’re ready.
One ticket covers a group of up to four people per device; larger parties should purchase additional tickets and split into teams.
Many streets are accessible, but several traboules and staircases are part of the route; check specific paths and consider an alternative start to avoid stepped sections.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled date; same-day cancellations are not refundable.
