What’s good to do with kids in Lyon?

Go for quests that mix mystery + history but aren’t super long. Kids tend to love the ghost hunts or symbol-search games. Throw in a snack stop (some classic Lyon pastries) and it becomes an adventure.

Any ideas for a romantic evening in Lyon?

Yes — stroll through Old Town at dusk, follow a quest along the waterfront or up to Fourvière for sunset views, then pause at a café with a view. The lights, the old architecture, the quiet alleys… it all adds up.

Will locals learn something new?

For sure. Even people from Lyon say they learn new stories: about traboules, little stained glass windows, murals, or legends tied to old families. These quests pull up stuff you don’t always notice.

About Lyon

In Lyon, Questo turns a walk through France into a self-guided city game. Pick one of 5 active Questo quests, follow clues on your phone, solve puzzles, and unlock a story as you move from stop to stop. There is no guide to meet and no fixed start time, so you can begin when the day works for you. Lyon works well for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights. Each quest gives you a route, a reason to look closer, and small challenges that make the city feel interactive. Use the game as a playful way to plan time around local places such as Passerelle Saint Georges Lyon, Fresque Des Lyonnais, and Cathedrale Saint Jean Baptiste Lyon. It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers who like flexible outdoor activities. Choose a compact set of walking games, pause whenever you want, and turn time in Lyon into a walk with a plot.
