Discover Lyon with an escape game
A escape game in Lyon is a way to explore the city while keeping your eyes open. With Coddy, you follow a story step by step, on foot, decoding puzzles that lead from one street to the next, from a square to a passage, sometimes all the way to an unexpected viewpoint. The setting isn’t fixed: it changes with the light, the building facades, the slopes, and detours—and that’s exactly what makes the walk so lively.
A city of hills, traboules, and contrasts
Lyon is remarkably well-suited to this game because it makes you look up as much as you look ahead. In Vieux Lyon, inner courtyards and traboules give the impression of moving through a secret city, almost hidden behind Renaissance buildings. In La Croix-Rousse, the slopes, staircases, and former silk workers’ workshops add rhythm to the walk. Further down, the quays of the Rhône and the Saône open up the space, then you quickly return to tighter, more stone-like streets, with that understated elegance typical of Lyon’s facades. A escape game in Lyon also benefits from this variety of neighborhoods: you move from the atmosphere of a historic district to something more contemporary without ever leaving the center.
Easy to play, great to share
This format of an outdoor escape game works really well for a day out with family, between friends, as a couple, or for visitors discovering the city. Everything starts from a smartphone, no reservation needed, and you can play whenever you want, at your own pace. It’s convenient—but above all, it feels very natural in Lyon, where walking is already part of the pleasure. Coddy also offers treasure hunts and urban discovery games, perfect for turning a stroll into a true exploration.
