Frequently asked questions
What is Follow the Shadows about?
It’s Halloween, you’re 12, out trick-or-treating, then suddenly you’re alone. Ghostly whispers, lost friends, symbols hidden in Roman ruins—your goal is to solve puzzles and find your way home through a haunted Lyon.
Will I get a good scare, or is it more atmosphere than horror?
More atmosphere. It’s spooky and creepy in a theatrical way, not full-on horror. Shadows, empty streets, mysterious histories—perfect for those who like a chill thrill, not nightmares.
What time of day should I play this for maximum effect?
After sunset is ideal. As dusk falls, the city dimly lights up, shadows grow, and the ghost clues hit harder. But you can play during daylight if evenings don’t work.
Could this be a good outing for friends or an older teen group?
Absolutely. Groups make it richer—you notice weird details together, debate clues, share scares. Teens or friends who like mystery + history will especially enjoy this.
Is this quest okay for families with younger kids?
Probably better for older kids. Some parts are eerie and references to “catastrophes” or “gruesome murders” may be intense. If you do with younger ones, maybe do it earlier in the evening and keep it light.
Do I need to begin at a fixed time or prebooking?
Nope. You can play anytime—“play anytime, any day” is the rule. Start when you want, pause if needed, you’re not tied to a guided schedule.
