Explore Lyon’s haunted corners with a flexible app-led walking game through Fourvière, Loyasse Cemetery, Saint-Just, and Old Lyon.
“I would absolutely not recommend this tour! The app was a fun idea and I expected to get some good stories of the city. The game takes you into the neighborhoods outside the tourist area. We did see things we wouldn’t have seen but we walked uphill the entire way almost and about 2 miles away from the city. The tour takes you through some deserted streets and leaves you in the middle of no where with really bad directions back to where you started. It took us almost as long to get back to where we started as the entire game. Do not waste your money!”

Test your survival skills in Lyon with AMC’s outdoor Walking Dead escape game, city puzzles, critical missions, and a two-hour team adventure.
“Here we are, starting from the Place de la République and already well tested with the first riddle. We had 2 possibilities, give up or persevere. We wondered what Rick Grimes would have done and continued. It wasn’t easy but once we understood the game mechanics, we moved faster and better, at last we believed it. We even escaped the second critical mission, that is. We even had the luxury of allowing ourselves some clues especially on a not obvious audio riddle. Then, if you have to criticize: the crowded city during BlackFriday and in the middle of the afternoon may have made us look a little strange when trying…”
Review of The Walking Dead outdoor escape game in Poitiers, with pricing, app details, puzzles, drawbacks, and advice on who should book.
“Game made to cash in, with the possibility to do so in any city without having staff present. The game is not immersive at all, it does not interact with any element of the city and apart from draining the phone battery is useless. Even the worst indoor escape game would be better. I strongly advise against it.Auto-translated”
