  "abstract": "We develop a model to compute the first-passage time of a random walker in a crowded environment. Hard-core particles with the same size and diffusion coefficient than the tracer diffuse, and the model allows to compute the first passage time of the tracer on euclidian lattices. The result is compared to classical Nakazato-Kitahara model, and extends previous results obtained for persistent random walker. The crowding in a confined media acts as a memory effect, and thus lead to a persistent-like behavior.",
