ESCAPE GAME FAQ

In a team, you will find yourselves enclosed in a themed room, with the challenge of completing a mission and making a daring escape within a strict one-hour timeframe.

Immerse yourselves in captivating settings as you engage in deciphering challenging puzzles, manipulating intriguing objects and complex mechanisms, and unveiling potential hidden passageways to successfully accomplish your mission.

Throughout your gameplay, an experienced Game Master will closely monitor your progress using microphones and cameras. Whenever you require assistance, discreet hints will be provided to guide your team towards success. No specific knowledge is necessary to partake; your imaginative thinking, logical acumen, and strong teamwork will pave the way to triumph!

You have the choice between 12 different missions. Every room has the same difficulty level.

The missions The French Robbery, The Casino Heist, The Earthquake, The Plane and The Metro are doubled in 2 rooms each and allow you to compete by creating 2 teams of a same group of friends, family or colleagues.

Discover our 12 missions :

The french robbery | The casino heist

The kidnapping | The metro

The Catacombs | Assassin's Creed - The templars' treasure

The plane | The Space Mission

The Earthquake

The Haunted Cinema | The Far West | Secret Mission

We can welcome you in both French and English if you wish. 

If you want to play in english, just mention it during the booking process by checking the box "Game's language ENGLISH".

Absolutely! Whether it's summer or winter, with friends, family, or with colleagues, The Game is designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for all.

No physical effort is required, and there's no need for any specific knowledge to participate. All you need is a vivid imagination, a touch of logic, and a strong team spirit to navigate through the missions together!

What about pregnant participants?

For the safety and comfort of pregnant participants, we recommend avoiding the following missions: The Metro, The Plane, The Space Mission, The Catacombs, The Haunted Cinema, The Far West, and The Secret Mission. These missions involve specific effects that might not be suitable for expectant mothers.

Absolutely! However, it's essential that at least one adult be an active part of the team on the day of the mission.

The minimum age required for undertaking a mission with The Game is 10 years old, and as such, there should be at least one accompanying adult within the team.

Once participants reach the age of 15, there's no longer a requirement for adult supervision during the mission.

Our 12 missions are designed to optimally accomodate teams of 3, 4 or 5 players.

However, if you really want to, you can book a mission for 2 or 6 people. It should therefore be noted that a team of two players will provide a more intense challenge, while a team of 6 players will reduce the experience and comfort of the mission. If there are 6 of you, we advise you to form two teams of 3.

Got a group of 6 players or more?

At The Game, we offer a selection of 12 themes/missions spread across 20 rooms and two locations. That means we can host up to 120 people in the same time (across two locations). You can easily book multiple missions on the same time slot using our booking platform.

You are 6 players?

To make the most of your experience, we recommend dividing your group into teams of 3, 4, or 5 players. This way, everyone will be fully immersed, and the excitement will be off the charts!

Just a heads up:

• The French Robbery, The Casino Heist, and The Earthquake missions are each available in two rooms.
• The Plane mission is available in three rooms.
• The Metro mission is available in four rooms.

Feel free to create multiple teams and embark on the same mission together!

On the D-day, if you're up for it, we can even activate the competition mode to determine the ultimate champion team!

Only 2 players? No worries! You can book a mission and take on the challenge together as a duo. Just be prepared, as the challenge will naturally be a bit tougher!"

To ensure an immersive and truly intense gaming experience, we recommend not playing with 6 players.

However, if it's something you really want, you can form a team of 6 players and book your mission for 6.

To guarantee total immersion and real game intensity, it will not be possible for 7 players to play a single mission. However, if there are 7 or more of you, you can book several missions in the same time slot directly on our booking platform.

We therefore invite you to divide yourselves into two teams of 3 and 4: immersion is guaranteed and your experience will be all the better for it!

For this reason, please note that : 

- The French Robbery, The Casino Heist and The Earthquake missions are each available in two rooms.
- The Plane mission is available in 3 rooms.
- The Metro mission is available in 4 rooms.

So you can form several teams and carry out the same mission!

A mission's price depends on the number of players in the team (3 to 5 players). The more you are the less you pay per person!

Team of 3 - 38€ per person - 114€ for the mission
Team of 4 - 33€ per person - 132€ for the mission
Team of 5 - 30€ per person - 150€ for the mission

As we said, we do not recommend playing with 2 or 6 players. However, if it ts really important yo tou, here are the prices for 2 and 6 players :

Team of 2 - 48€ per person - 96€ for the mission
Team of 6 - 28€ per person - 168€ for the mission

On the D-day, please be neither too early nor too late.

It's unnecessary to arrive in advance; we'll be expecting you right on time! Similarly, we kindly request that you avoid being late, as any delay will unfortunately impact the duration of your mission.

Plan for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes once you're on-site. 

Your mission lasts for 60 minutes, and you should also allow 10 minutes for the briefing and 10 minutes for the debriefing to go over the key moments of your adventure (yes, that's 1 hour and 20 minutes in total, but we like to be generous!).

For example, you have a "French Robbery" at 1 pm :

• 1 pm: Arrival at our venue and briefing
• 1:15 pm: Start of your mission
• 2:15 pm: End of your mission and debriefing
• 2:30 pm: Departure from the venue

Please note that, unfortunately, we won't be able to accommodate you in our premises while the group is undertaking their mission. You should plan for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes between entering and exiting our venue.

To fully immerse yourself and increase your chances of successfully completing the mission, consider yourselves locked inside. However, rest assured that in case of an emergency, you will always be able to exit using an emergency release box.

It's important to note that the Game Master will be with you throughout your session and can intervene if needed at any time, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
