A thin evening mist hangs over the Saône as your team steps off Place Bellecour and into a city that suddenly feels watched. Streetlights throw long shadows across cobbled alleys; the tram hums like a distant engine of a city still alive while the game’s app coaxingly marks the next objective. This is an urban scavenger-escape built to make Lyon’s ribs — its traboules, riverside quays and steep hillways — part of the challenge.
