Children's escape game in Lille: Marsupilami puzzle adventure

Walk the streets solving puzzles to rescue the Marsupilami family from a hunter

An urban escape game in Lille where children and families walk the city streets using a mobile app to solve puzzles and complete missions tied to the Marsupilami comic story. The game runs 90 minutes and includes 24/7 online support, a city tour woven into the gameplay, and a photo summary of your adventure at the end. The game access stays valid for up to three years.

The experience

Your team gets a mobile app that guides you through Lille as you hunt for the Marsupilami family, captured by the hunter Mr. Backalive. The app feeds you puzzles and challenges tied to real locations in the city. You'll need to look carefully at your surroundings to find clues and solve each one. Some characters along the way are allies. Others throw obstacles in your path. The whole thing plays out like a treasure hunt meets a comic strip, so you're not just walking and solving. You're part of the story.

The game takes about 90 minutes, which means it fits into a morning or an afternoon without eating your whole day. You move at your own pace through the city, stopping to work through each puzzle before the app sends you to the next one. The app works on any smartphone with a battery that lasts the session. You'll need to bring your own device. At the end, you get a summary of your adventure with photos from the game, and since your access stays valid for three years, you can come back and replay it or try a different route through the city another time.

Support is available 24/7 if your team gets stuck or has questions while you're out. The game is wheelchair accessible, and the city areas you'll visit are all accessible too. Strollers work fine if you're bringing small children along.
