Great for walking around the city
A great activity during a short stay in Poitiers. We were 2 and did not know the city. This allowed us, in addition to having fun, to spot places to visit. We recommend!
Response from the operator: Bonjour Laetitia, merci pour ce retour d'expérience ! Nous sommes heureux d'avoir contribué à la réussite de votre séjour à Poitiers. Au plaisir de vous accueillir dans une prochaine activité !

Rate and accessibility
No Welcoming, complex game and ill-suited to any age, too expensive for the duration and the performance itself, partly clear clues
Response from the operator: Bonjour, nous accusons réception de votre retour d'expérience. Il est bien notifié sur nos fiches que les jeux sont proposés en autonomie. Au besoin, notre équipe se tient à la disposition des joueurs 7 jours sur 7, par téléphone, mail ou encore live chat. L'escape game magie est proposé à partir de 10-12 ans et les retours que l'on enregistre témoignent qu'il est accessible à partir de cet âge-là. Enfin, les indices sont créés afin de rester dans l'esprit escape game et ne pas être trop évidents. Espérant avoir l'occasion de vous accueillir sur un prochain jeu répondant plus à vos attentes !

Not worth a terra aventura course
Far too expensive for what it is. In New Aquitaine, the terra aventura are free, highlight the heritage and routes much better designed. Here we went back and forth a lot and retraced our steps. Not even a little surprise at the end, very disappointing
Response from the operator: Bonjour, nous accusons réception de votre retour d’expérience. L’escape game que vous avez choisi est sur le thème de la magie. Pour la découverte du patrimoine, nous proposons des jeux de piste intitulés Les mystères de la ville. Peut-être cette expérience aurait mieux répondu à vous attentes ? Concernant la surprise, nos jeux sont proposés en autonomie. Une surprise physique ne peut donc pas être proposée à la fin mais la joie d’avoir réussi la mission suffit aux joueurs :)

Disappointing! For 65€ you pay for the development of the smartphone application. The route has nothing to do with the city.
Very disappointed, sometimes mistranslated (or written) puzzles go off when you enter a zone but have nothing to do with it. This route and its puzzles could be adapted to any city. No interaction with your environment. The promise of a secret passage at the end of the route turns out to be a GPS point. Puzzles not bad but with no geographical context... no invitation to look at where you are... you could do it with your eyes on you smarphone. Disappointing! For 65€ you pay for the development of the smartphone application. The route has nothing to do with the city.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Carlos, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience sur notre activité. Cependant, nous ne comprenons pas le point sur la traduction dans la mesure où vous avez choisi votre jeu en français et que ce dernier a été rédigé dans cette langue. Avez-vous utilisé un correcteur pour y jouer ? Il faut noter que notre jeu été également disponible en anglais. Aussi, effectivement, les énigmes se déclenchent dans des périmètres GPS et n'ont pas vocation à être en relation immédiate avec l'environnement de la ville (ceci est bien précisé dans le descriptif de notre site web où vous avez acheté votre partie en promo) . Nous réservons cela à nos jeux de piste découvertes qui permettent de découvrir le patrimoine de ces dernières. N'hésitez pas à nous faire signe pour recevoir un code promo pour tenter une aventure pour découvrir la ville de votre choix !

Response from the operator: Avec grand plaisir <3

Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.
Is Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lyon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lyon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lyon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is Poitiers: Magic-themed urban escape game offered in?
+
