Alpe d'Huez Escape Game: Outdoor Quest in 2 Hours

Race against the clock to crack a city's hidden codes

This outdoor escape game at Alpe d'Huez sends you into the historic city center to solve puzzles and gather code words from noble families within two hours. You choose your departure time and language (English, French or German), download the free app, receive a unique game code, and work through the scenario on your smartphone: photos and videos save directly to your device.

The experience

The setup is straightforward: you arrive in Alpe d'Huez's heart with a smartphone, a game code, and 120 minutes on the clock. The scenario unfolds through the app, which guides you to visit families scattered across the city. At each stop, you solve puzzles and gather clues to unlock four code words. Those words are your key to finding the location of a secret underground passage. One that an evildoer has hidden away. The pressure is real: the platform closes forever when time runs out.

The game works because it pulls you through the actual streets and landmarks of the city. You're not sitting in a room. You're moving, observing, talking to characters who are part of the scenario. The puzzles connect to the clues you collect, so solving one feeds into the next. The app keeps track of your progress and handles the validation when you think you've cracked the code word for each family. You pick the day and time that suits your schedule: no reservation needed, no waiting for a group to assemble.

Photos and videos capture your team in action and save straight to your phone, so you leave with proof of what you solved. The game runs in English, French or German depending on which option you choose at checkout. All areas of the city center are wheelchair accessible, and the app works on any smartphone with a data connection.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French and German.

How much time do I actually have to complete the escape game?

You have two hours from the moment you start. The platform closes at the 120-minute mark, so the countdown is real and part of the challenge.

Do I need to book a specific time slot, or can I start whenever I want?

You choose the day and time that works for you: no advance reservation required. Simply download the app, enter your unique game code, and begin whenever you're ready.

What happens if my team doesn't find all four code words before the two hours are up?

The game ends when time runs out. The scenario is designed to be solvable within the window, but the pressure and the puzzle difficulty mean success depends on how quickly your team works through the clues.

What do I need to bring to play?

Bring a smartphone with the free app downloaded and a data connection (3G, 4G or 5G). The game code is unique to your team and sent to you before you start. Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea since you'll be moving through the city center.
