Why Bomb Squad?
Why celebrate a birthday in Lyon at Bomb Squad?
Organising a birthday in Lyon often means choosing between a restaurant, hiring a venue, or an activity where the group gets split up. Bomb Squad brings all three together in one place: the experience, the table, and the celebration. The concept is easy to understand, the challenges change quickly, and everyone can bring something to the team.
A birthday activity that’s different from laser tag and bowling
No lanes, no tracks, no individual scores. Take on four team challenges in consecutive rooms, then try to defuse a paint bomb using the time you’ve earned.
No need to love puzzles
There’s nothing to figure out while sitting around a table. The challenges combine physical effort, memory, and coordination, so both the athlete and the strategist get their moment.
Everyone plays, no one watches
Teams of 2 to 6 players start every ten minutes. A group of twenty can all take part without anyone sitting on the sidelines waiting for their turn.
A package that includes the celebration
Thirty minutes in the private upstairs area for the cake, with drinks, sweets, balloons and gifts depending on the package. There’s nothing else you need to organise.
One mission, one explosive finale
The Paint Mission ends with a fluorescent paint bomb. The group chooses how they want their mission to end.
An unusual venue in central Lyon
Located at 5 rue Servient in Lyon’s 3rd arrondissement, indoors and air-conditioned. An easy meeting point for all your guests.
The Concept
One hour to defuse the bomb.
The group splits into teams of 2 to 6 players, puts on their suits, and takes on four challenges involving communication, logic, agility, and endurance. Every successful challenge earns extra time, and that accumulated time is what the team has to face the final bomb.
Teams start every ten minutes, allowing larger groups to play without unnecessary waiting. While one team is playing, the others can enjoy the reserved table, drinks, and sweets.

Depending on the Occasion
What to do for your birthday, depending on the occasion.
The mission stays the same, but the celebration changes. Here’s what you can expect depending on who’s blowing out the candles.
Celebrating your 20th birthday
Start the celebration with an hour of action rather than dinner. The final ranking gets the evening going before you continue the night in the neighbourhood.
Celebrating your 30th birthday
Childhood friends, colleagues, and couples naturally mix into teams of 2 to 6 players.
Celebrating your 40th birthday
The activity requires no particular level of fitness and works perfectly for groups with several generations.
A birthday with friends
Ten to thirty people, one hour of gameplay, the upstairs area for the cake, then continue the celebration elsewhere.
A family birthday
Teams can be formed however you like, allowing different generations to play together. The minimum age is 7.
A child’s birthday, from age 7
Younger players can discover the experience according to the venue’s supervision rules, followed by dedicated time to celebrate after the mission.
The Birthday Package
A birthday package
built for celebration.
One hour of mission, followed by dedicated time to continue the birthday celebration together. Everything is included in the package, with nothing extra to add on site.
02
Time to celebrate
After the mission, enjoy dedicated time together as a group to celebrate the birthday.
03

The upstairs area is reserved for blowing out the candles, opening presents, and enjoying more time together.

Sophie M.Frequently Asked Questions
Organising a birthday at Bomb Squad.
Age, price, group size, cake and booking: everything you need to know before choosing your time slot.
What can you do for a birthday in Lyon with friends?
Starting with an activity rather than dinner changes the whole evening, because the group arrives at the meal with rankings, stories and photos to share. At Bomb Squad Lyon, the one-hour mission is followed by time in the upstairs area before you continue the celebration in the neighbourhood.
Where can you celebrate your 30th birthday in Lyon?
Central Lyon is the easiest option when guests are coming from different areas. Bomb Squad Lyon is located in the 3rd arrondissement, indoors and air-conditioned, and can accommodate groups of 10 to 30 people over a two-hour time slot, including the activity and the upstairs area.
What birthday activity is different from laser tag and bowling?
Laser tag and bowling mainly reward individual skill, with the final score showing who performed best. The action game is based on teamwork: every successful challenge earns time for the final bomb, which the whole team faces together. That makes it a more memorable birthday experience and offers something very different from those two activities.
What can you do for your birthday if you don’t want to go to a restaurant?
Starting with an activity avoids a long meal where conversations can become divided across the table. Spend an hour taking on team challenges, enjoy the upstairs area for the cake, then head out for dinner afterwards with plenty to talk about.
How can you celebrate your birthday in an original way in Lyon?
What makes the experience original is the format rather than simply the venue. An action game featuring four challenges followed by a paint bomb offers something very different from hiring a bar, booking a rooftop or going to a restaurant.
What is the minimum age to play?
The activity is accessible from age 7, subject to the venue’s supervision rules for younger players. Groups of teenagers aged 12 to 18 have a dedicated page with a package and information specifically for them.
How much does a birthday at Bomb Squad Lyon cost?
Three packages from 6 children: Simple at €28.50 per child (activity + 30 minutes in the private upstairs area), Mini-Bombers at €29.70 (with drinks, sweets and balloons) and Maxi-Squaders at €33.50 (plus a gift for every child). The activity alone costs €26 per child and the accompanying adult plays for free.
How many people can we invite?
Teams consist of 2 to 6 players, with multiple teams playing one after another for larger groups and starts every ten minutes. A group of thirty people can all play within a two-hour time slot.
Can we bring our own birthday cake?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring your own cake and share it in the private upstairs area for 30 minutes. Drinks and sweets are included in the Mini-Bombers and Maxi-Squaders packages.
What should we wear to play?
Wear comfortable clothes. A suit is provided for the mission, but the final bomb involves paint, so avoid wearing clothes you’re particularly attached to.
How do we book a birthday party?
Choose your time slot and mission online, then choose your birthday package (Simple, Mini-Bombers or Maxi-Squaders). Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays can sell out several weeks in advance.
