DailyMetro Lyon

DailyMetro is a set of free browser games, one per city, made by Eliott, an engineer who builds them in his spare time. The Lyon edition covers the TCL metro lines and the Fourvière and Saint-Just funiculars. It opens in French at dailymetro.live/lyon and has a full English version at /lyon/en.

Each day has one hidden station and a day number, the same for every player in Lyon, and a new one is drawn at midnight local time. You start with any station you like and have 8 guesses. For each guess the board shows the lines it is on, an arrow pointing from your guess toward the target, the number of letters in its name with an arrow for more or fewer, and its district, such as Lyon 2e. Each clue turns green for a match, orange for a partial match or red for a miss. At guess 4 the Normal level shows you the line.

The day has three rounds: Classic, then Map, where you place the station on the network plan, and Photo, where you recognise it from a picture of its entrance. A Connoisseur level swaps the letters and district clues for traffic and the origin of the name, and gives no hints. Past days can be replayed, a streak counter tracks your run, and no account is needed.

It suits Lyon locals and transit fans who know the network by heart, and visitors who want to learn it one station at a time.
