Escape Game en Extérieur, Outdoor escape game in Annecy, France
This outdoor escape game combines treasure hunting and puzzle-solving as teams navigate roughly 2 kilometers through Annecy's medieval streets using smartphones. Participants move between checkpoints scattered throughout the old town, solving challenges at each location.
The game's narrative centers on finding a sword given to the Count of Geneva during the 13th century. This story connects medieval, Renaissance, and 19th-century periods, tying historical locations throughout the city into the adventure.
Players discover local legends woven throughout the game, including the tale of Bernoline who supposedly lost her soul in Lake Annecy after a dark deal. These stories give the medieval streets and landmarks a deeper meaning as you move through them.
Games run in all weather, so dress appropriately and bring sun protection for outdoor play. The medieval streets are walkable but watch for uneven surfaces and stairs as you navigate the old quarter.
A GoPro camera mounted on a participant's chest records the entire 60-minute session, capturing the team's problem-solving moments and reactions. This footage becomes a personal video memory that teams can take home and relive later.
