Booking an escape game at Game Over Lyon: your most frequently asked questions.

An escape game is an immersive escape game played in teams. The goal of the game is to solve puzzles to accomplish a mission that will be assigned to you at the beginning of your session. You will be immersed in an environment and in immersive settings tailored to the chosen scenario. At Game Over Lyon, we offer three captivating scenarios: Jack the Ripper, Top Secret and The War of the Throne. Each of our rooms offers a unique atmosphere and puzzles suited for all levels. The escape game is the ideal indoor recreational activity to enjoy as a couple, with friends, or with colleagues. Whether it's for birthdays, bachelorette or bachelor parties, team building, Valentine's Day, Mother's or Father's Day, any occasion is a good reason to discover or appreciate this original and immersive activity.

No, and that's the whole point of this game. It is accessible to everyone, without any prior knowledge. In an escape game room, you will face several types of puzzles to solve and various skills to deploy. For example, you might have to search for clues, observe, handle objects or puzzles, listen, show curiosity, etc. These qualities, when combined as a team, help you progress in the game. The escape game is a leisure activity accessible to all.

No, no level of fitness is required to play an escape game. However, our room Jack the Ripper requires climbing up and down a high step. If you have reduced mobility, please refer to the "Comfort and Accessibility" section.

Upon arrival, 10 minutes before your reservation time, we ask you to store your belongings, including your mobile phones, in locked lockers. You will have access to the restrooms, and you can drink a glass of water and enjoy a candy ;-)

Then your game master will explain the rules and your mission.

During your session, a game master will monitor you remotely to assist if needed and ensure you have a great experience.

At the end of your session, your game master will offer you a debrief, answer your questions, and take a few souvenir photos so that your experience remains unforgettable.

We ask you to arrive 10 minutes before your reservation time. You will then have about 1 hour of game time (depending on your performance ;-)). At the end of the game, your game master will answer any questions you have and offer to take a souvenir photo. You should therefore plan for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes on site.

For example, if your session is at 2:00 PM, you will finish at 3:30 PM.

If you have any time constraints, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

You can dress however you like; the important thing is to be comfortable. You may sometimes need to crouch, crawl, climb stairs, or step over obstacles, so it is best to choose a comfortable outfit that allows you to move freely.

Yes, you will be filmed and listened to by your game master so that they can follow your adventure. However, nothing is recorded.

No, you will not be allowed to film or take photos during your session. This is to preserve the secrecy of the puzzles and mechanisms.

However, at the end of your session, your game master will take photos that will be sent to you immediately. Thus, you will have a memento of your experience.

Throughout your session, we monitor you remotely via cameras and microphones. You will be able to communicate easily with your game master by voice. Additionally, all rooms are equipped with an "emergency button" that can unlock the closure systems with a simple gesture. You will never be truly locked inside the room, and you will never be left on your own.

A minimum of 2 players is required to form a team, with a maximum of 6 players. Our 3 rooms can each accommodate 6 players. Therefore, we can host 18 people simultaneously across our 3 rooms.

If you wish to organize a birthday party, a bachelorette or bachelor party, or even a team building event, do not hesitate to request a quote.

We do not recommend it. Most escape game rooms are designed to be played by teams of roughly 4 players. Doubling the number of players means there won't be enough space or enough puzzles to satisfy everyone. Therefore, if you are a group of 7 or 8 players, for everyone's comfort and satisfaction, we advise booking 2 rooms at the same time and splitting into 2 teams.

Yes, whether you are a team of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players, the game room is exclusively reserved for you. You will not have to share your session with other teams.

No, our game procedures do not involve separating you. You will remain together throughout the session.

8 years old. But note, we do not accept children on their own. Up until the age of 16, children and teenagers must be accompanied by at least one adult who will be with them IN the game room. This is mandatory and non-negotiable ;-)

Our escape rooms can be played in English with a minimum of 2 players. When booking your game, simply select the language option and request to play in English. We'll be delighted to welcome you to Game Over Lyon!

Our 3 game rooms offer completely different experiences.

Jack the Ripper is a police investigation. It's perfect for those who enjoy searching, observing, Cluedo, criminal stories, and detective novels.

Top Secret is an espionage scenario. 100% brainpower, it is ideal for fans of Mission Impossible, James Bond, or any aspiring secret agent looking for action.

The War of the Throne is a medieval room set in the world of Game of Thrones. It is a room with mixed puzzles, as it involves searching, handling objects, observing … and a bit of mathematical logic.
