Police investigation – Outdoor Escape Game
5 rue Waldeck Rousseau, Lyon 69006
There is nothing better than a police investigation to learn how to work as a team.
Mimesis and its escape game “The Black King” offers a dark scenario through the Vieux Lyon. The scenario is simple. Young women have been kidnapped, and you have only a few hints to work with: a raven, photos, letters, and the life of a young girl in your hands.
Make sure you have good sneakers and a fully-charged phone to quickly find your way around the city.
This is a fun group activity and is ideal for bonding with your team.
The little extra: as in every escape game, real human interactions are waiting for you and they can appear anywhere, at any time: is the suspicious looking guy a simple passer-by or actor? It’s up to you to check!
Price: €30 per person
Duration: 2 hours (including briefing)
Group size: team of 2 to 7 people
