📖 THE STORY

You and your friends are students from the prestigious Lock Academy, founded by the famous Professor Lock. You learned that John Doyle, the Dean of the Academy has been brutally murdered and the crime seems to be perfect: no clues, no evidence that could give you any lead… apparently. Professor Lock is counting on his best students (YOU!) to try to solve the mystery behind this murder, find the motive, the murder weapon and the culprit (like in a Cluedo game).

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

This is definitely one of the best Venues in Paris to play an escape room: the game masters are very well trained and you really feel that they love what they do. You have very comfortable waiting rooms and the customer service is excellent!
The set design is high quality, very immersive!.
Puzzles are well thought out and intuitive, with nice mechanics. The room is non-linear and to get out, you will need to solve the crime!

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

As this room has been one of the very firsts to be opened at this venue, it may look a bit less immersive as compared to the most recent ones, but still very efficient if you are looking for a nice moment with your friends!

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This venue is one of the best in Paris, and they currently have 6 rooms. I would recommend that you play all the games at this place as they are all top quality rooms. If you like solving mysteries and feeling like a real detective, you will enjoy it!
