What is an Urban Escape Game?
An Urban Escape Game is a treasure hunt that takes place in the city: using your smartphone and the Coddy mobile application, you are guided through the city to different points of interest. The points of interest can be famous monuments, must-see squares or even hidden alleys, little-known unusual places. There, you will be offered riddles or missions. You will have to answer the questions or complete a mission to continue your adventure. For some riddles, you will find the answer around you: you will have to observe your environment carefully!
In the Coddy application you will find :
- A map to guide you
- Clues to guide you to the right answers
- Objects that can help you in your quest
- A ranking to situate you in relation to your opponents
- Your points: earned by answering correctly the riddles

It's quick and easy to organise: there's no need to book, just visit our website, choose a game and the city you want to play in and take the number of tickets needed for your class.
The teams are composed of a maximum of 6 players. This allows for a better integration and participation of each team member.
