Urban escape game in Dijon: Solve puzzles on your phone

Dijon's streets become your puzzle board

An urban escape game played on your smartphone as you walk through Dijon, where you solve 35–40 puzzles and complete missions to uncover the truth behind a witchcraft accusation. The mobile app guides you to points of interest across the city, and you can start anytime between midnight and 11:30 p.m. for a two-hour adventure with up to five others. No human guide joins you. 24/7 online support is available if you get stuck.

The experience

Dijon's streets become your game board when you download the app and start playing as an alchemist. The story pulls you through the city to solve puzzles posed by witnesses to a strange accusation. You gather clues, piece together what happened, and decide whether to defend the accused villager or support the witchcraft charge. Each puzzle unlocks the next location, so you're always moving and discovering the city while playing. The app handles all the navigation and tells you what to do at each stop.

You need only your smartphone and a team of up to six people. The two-hour window is flexible: start at 2 a.m. if you want, or at 11 p.m. The game runs around the clock. If a puzzle stumps you, online support is there to nudge you forward without spoiling the answer. The walk covers real neighborhoods and landmarks in Dijon, so you're seeing the city as you play, not sitting in a room.

Groups stay small enough that you can talk through the puzzles together without feeling rushed. The missions are designed so everyone can contribute. Some are observation challenges, others are logic problems, and a few ask you to interact with your surroundings in ways that make you notice details you'd normally walk past.

What’s included

• Mobile app access for two hours.
• 35–40 puzzles and missions throughout Dijon's streets.
• 24/7 online support if you need help.
