Teen Birthday Party in Lyon
A teen birthday party in Lyon that stands out.

Why Bomb Squad?
Why celebrate a teen birthday in Lyon at Bomb Squad?
Organising a teenager’s birthday party in Lyon can be a challenge. Too young for a bar, too old for a kids’ play centre, and not interested in a creative workshop or an afternoon at a museum. Bomb Squad fits right in between: a one-hour immersive experience where the whole group gets involved.
An original activity, not just another laser game
No corridors, no tracks and no individual scores. Four team challenges across a series of rooms, followed by a final paint bomb to defuse using the time they’ve earned. Chances are, they’ve never done anything quite like it.
The whole group plays — nobody sits and watches
Teams of 2 to 6 players start every ten minutes. A group of twenty teenagers can all take part without anyone being left sitting on a bench scrolling through their phone.
Physical enough to burn off some energy
Crawling, aiming, running and reacting quickly. The challenges keep everyone moving — ideal for a group of energetic teenagers spending a Wednesday afternoon indoors.
Smart enough to keep everyone engaged
Memory, logic and coordination matter just as much as physical effort. Less sporty players get their moment too, so everyone has something to contribute.
A package that includes the celebration
After the mission, thirty minutes in the upstairs area for the cake, with sweets, drinks and gifts depending on the package. Only the cake is up to you.
An easy-to-reach location in central Lyon
At 5 rue Servient in the 3rd arrondissement, in a fully indoor, air-conditioned venue. Easy to reach by Metro and easy for parents dropping off and picking up.
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 testing communication, logic, agility and endurance. Each successful challenge earns valuable time, and that accumulated time is what the team gets to defuse the final bomb.
One mission, each with a different ending. The Paint Mission finishes with a fluorescent paint bomb. Make sure they wear clothes they don’t mind getting messy.

By age
Teen birthday parties by age.
The mission stays the same — what changes is the group and how independently they take on the experience. Here’s what we typically see at each age.
12th birthday
The introduction to the teen format: two teams competing for the best score, with the group starting to manage the mission on their own.
13th birthday
The group forms its own teams and discovers an experience that’s different from the laser games or escape rooms they may have already tried.
14th birthday
Groups get bigger and several teams start every ten minutes, before everyone meets upstairs for the party.
15th birthday
The group becomes independent from start to finish, with scores, challenges and the final leaderboard taking centre stage.
16th to 18th birthday
The experience gets closer to the adult format, with more tactical teams and some real competition for the top score.
Mixed groups of girls and boys
Physical effort, memory and accuracy alternate throughout the challenges, so no particular profile has an advantage and teams can be formed freely.
Teen Birthday Package
One hour of missions, followed by time to celebrate.

Sophie M.Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a teen birthday party in Lyon.
Ages, parents, pricing, cake, clothing and booking.
Where can you celebrate a teen birthday in Lyon?
A teen birthday works when the whole group plays and leaves with pictures. Bomb Squad Lyon offers a one-hour mission in teams of 2 to 6 players at 5 rue Servient, in the 3rd arrondissement, then 30 minutes in an upstairs area for the cake and presents, from 26 euros per child.
What activity can you do for a 12-year-old’s birthday in Lyon?
At 12, groups want to burn off some energy and compete without spending half the activity waiting for their turn. An action game offers both, with teams competing for the best score and starting every ten minutes. A group of 12-year-olds can take part without restriction, as the activity is available from age 7.
What activity can you do for a 14-year-old’s birthday?
At 14, groups often exceed fifteen guests and the challenge is getting everyone to play without downtime. At Bomb Squad Lyon several teams start every ten minutes, then the whole group meets upstairs for the party.
What are some birthday outing ideas for a 15-year-old?
At 15, groups are more independent and want an activity in Lyon that gives them something to remember. One hour of team action games, a final leaderboard and the upstairs area for the birthday cake cover the celebration, with the option to continue afterwards in the 3rd arrondissement.
Where can you celebrate an original teen birthday in Lyon?
What makes the experience original is the format. A team action game featuring four challenges and a final paint bomb offers something different from laser games, bowling and traditional escape rooms that many teenagers have already tried.
What is the minimum age to play?
The activity is open from age 7. For under-15s, one accompanying adult is required in each team, and their place is free; from 15, players are independent. Most birthday groups are aged 12 to 15, the age this page is designed for.
How much does a teen birthday party cost at Bomb Squad Lyon?
The base price is €26 per child from 6 children, with the accompanying adult free. Each package adds 30 minutes in the upstairs area after the mission: Simple + €2.50 per child, Mini-Bombers + €3.70 (with sweets and drinks) and Maxi-Squaders + €7.50 (with sweets, drinks and gifts), i.e. €28.50, €29.70 or €33.50 per child.
How many teenagers can we invite?
Teams consist of 2 to 6 players, with several teams rotating through and starting every ten minutes. A group of 30 teenagers can all play within a two-hour time slot, while the venue can accommodate up to 70 people on site.
Can parents stay at the venue?
Yes, parents can wait on site during the mission, and for under-15s one accompanying adult plays in each team. Many drop the group off and come back for the cake, shared upstairs after the mission.
Can we bring a birthday cake?
Yes. The cake is not included in any package: you bring it and share it in the upstairs area during the 30 minutes after the mission. Sweets and drinks are included in the Mini-Bombers and Maxi-Squaders packages.
What should they wear?
Comfortable clothes are recommended. A suit is provided for the mission, but the final bomb involves paint, so it’s best to avoid clothes they particularly care about.
How do you book a teen birthday party?
Fill in the birthday request form (preferred date, number and age of guests, package) and the team will send you a proposal. Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays get booked several weeks in advance.
