Treasure Hunt
across Lyon.

A corporate treasure hunt in Lyon can take place in almost any neighbourhood of the city. The most popular areas are Vieux Lyon and its Renaissance traboules around Saint-Jean Cathedral, Fourvière hill, the slopes of Croix-Rousse, as well as the Presqu'île from Place Bellecour to Place des Terreaux. Happy Unity has ready-to-use routes in these areas and can also design a rally in the neighbourhood of your choice, including the modern Confluence district, or directly within your Lyon premises.

Yes. Our indoor routes explore Lyon's major museums: the Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in the Palais Saint-Pierre (ancient collections, master paintings, interior gardens), and the Musée des Confluences, with its futuristic architecture by Coop Himmelblau at the confluence of the Saône and Rhône. Teams solve observation riddles among the artworks and artefacts, sheltered from the weather, making it an ideal format for a seminar.

A team building treasure hunt in Lyon begins with an on-site briefing, then your colleagues are divided into teams of 4 to 8 people and receive a tablet (or use their smartphone). They then follow a Lyon itinerary punctuated by riddles, photo challenges, and observation tasks, geolocated by the Indiana app, from the traboules of Vieux Lyon to the banks of the Saône. Points accumulate before a final ranking, overseen by a Happy Unity facilitator.

A treasure hunt in Lyon adapts equally well to a dozen colleagues or several thousand participants divided into simultaneous teams, up to 5,000 people for very large events. Thanks to the Indiana app's live dashboard, we multiply the checkpoints between Vieux Lyon, the Presqu'île, and Croix-Rousse to avoid congestion and maintain a smooth pace.

The weather won't compromise your treasure hunt in Lyon. Each outdoor route has an indoor Plan B: a switch to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Musée des Confluences, a covered traboule in Vieux Lyon, or your own premises. The decision is usually made 24 hours beforehand, and the Indiana app instantly reloads the backup route without any changes for your teams.

Yes. Our treasure hunt scenarios in Lyon prioritise observation, reflection, and cooperation over physical performance. The challenges are varied so that everyone can contribute their skills, regardless of age or role. Routes are adjusted for accessibility: the flat Presqu'île is easily traversed, while the climbs of Fourvière or Croix-Rousse are reserved for groups who wish to undertake them, with a museum alternative for all profiles.

Absolutely. For your treasure hunt in Lyon, we rewrite the scenario around your brand, your values, a product launch, or an internal message. Riddles, challenges, visuals, and prize-giving are all adapted, and the route can connect places important to your company, from your Lyon headquarters to the Confluence district, passing through a symbolic monument like the Fourvière basilica or Place Bellecour.

That depends on your objective. To discover a neighbourhood, opt for a geolocated urban rally in Vieux Lyon and its traboules or on the Presqu'île. For a seminar sheltered from the weather, choose a museum format (Beaux-Arts, Confluences) or the City Express. For a gourmet experience, the Gourmet Rally connects Lyon's traditional 'bouchons' and best addresses, while the iPad format can be deployed anywhere in the city. Our project managers will guide you based on the number of participants and available time.

A treasure hunt in Lyon generally lasts between 1h30 and 2h30, including briefing and final ranking. This duration adjusts to your programme: a short City Express version for a half-day seminar on the Presqu'île, or a longer format combined with lunch in a 'bouchon' in Vieux Lyon or a corporate party.

Yes, the traboules are one of our Lyon signatures. These covered passages, connecting streets through courtyards and buildings, inherited from the Renaissance and the era of the silk weavers (canuts), become the ideal playground for a treasure hunt in Lyon. Your teams search for their hidden entrances in Vieux Lyon and on the slopes of Croix-Rousse, solving observation riddles that reveal a unique world heritage.

Everything is provided. Your teams play via our Indiana app, on tablets we provide or on their own smartphones. No complex installation: the app geolocates teams in Lyon, automatically triggers riddles at the correct location, and calculates the ranking. You don't need to prepare anything technical for your treasure hunt in Lyon.

For over 20 years, Happy Unity has been designing team building experiences and knows the Lyon area perfectly. We master scouting, authorisations, and city logistics, from Vieux Lyon to Confluence, for the smallest groups to events with several thousand people. A dedicated project manager will support you from conception to facilitation, with our in-house developed Indiana app for a seamless and 100% customisable experience.
