Houba, we have a problem

An adventure straight out of Franquin's comic books, played as a family in the streets of Lyon.

1

A family captured

Bad news from the jungle: Bring M. Backalive has struck. Bibi, Bobo, Bibu and their mum have been captured. The Marsupilami needs backup, and that backup is your team.

2

A comic book hero

Created by Franquin, Marsu turned 70 in 2022. Parents grew up with him in the comics, kids will get to know him by playing. Everyone sets off on the same mission.

3

Characters straight from the comics

Aunt Diane, Señor Bombonera, Hector Forrest and, of course, the hunter himself. You travel through Marsu's albums without leaving Lyon.

4

The city as a playground

No dull guided tour, no long tiring walk. Marsu takes you to the best spots in town, one riddle at a time. Will you bring the whole family home safe and sound?

Who's who on the trail

Four characters you will meet along the way. Flip a card, but watch out: not everyone is on the Marsupilami's side.
