The mission: Your story in Lyon

After years of being asleep in storage, you awaken as Guignol the puppet. 
 
Confused and lost in this unfamiliar world, you explore La Croix-Rousse in search of your puppeteer, Laurent Mourguet.
 
But years of slumber have left gaps in your memory. Where are the Canuts of years gone by? And why does nobody seem to remember you?
 
You only know one thing for certain: you must find your old partner.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Croix-Rousse quest different from a standard tour?
You explore the neighbourhood through puzzles at your own pace. Its clue trail uses the traboules, the Canuts’ silk-working heritage and local history as the setting.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
