An escape game in Lausanne is a very concrete way to read the city while walking. You follow a story, you look at a façade, a square, a detail of cobblestones—then you solve puzzles to move from one neighborhood to the next. With Coddy, the city becomes the playground, and Lausanne is discovered step by step, from the lakeside to the backstreets that climb toward the old town.
Why Lausanne is so well suited to it
Lausanne has that kind of terrain that makes you look up and slow down. The slopes, the stairways, and the passages between the station and the historic center give every trip a touch of an urban quest. You move from bourgeois apartment buildings to medieval lanes, then to squares open onto Lake Geneva, with the Alps as a backdrop when the sky is clear. The contrast between the tightly packed old town around the cathedral, the calmer quays, and lively neighborhoods like Flon makes every detour worth it. It’s a city that rewards attention: an old sign, a fountain, a view down a roof perspective are enough to move one part of an escape game in Lausanne forward. Here, the outdoor escape game really makes sense, because the setting is never neutral.
Easy to start, simple to share
This format appeals to families, groups of friends, curious couples, and tourists who want something other than a standard visit. Everything happens from a smartphone, at the time that suits you, with no prior booking. You download, you start, you walk. Coddy also offers treasure hunts and city discovery games—perfect for exploring Lausanne without just passing through. The fun comes just as much from the puzzles as from the journey itself.
