📖 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!


ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

  • Underground parking (14 rue Crois des Petits Champs, be careful, this option is pretty expensive)

  • There are metro stations nearby (M1, 4, 7, 11 and RER A, B and D)

  • Lobby is very spacious, try to not be too early but even if you are, there are lots of spots where you can sit, wait and enjoy free candies and free drinks

  • Toilets are available and very clean

  • You may have to use stairs to get access to the room

  • They try their best to accommodate the room so people with disabilities can still enjoy the experience. They greatly encourage you to contact them before booking the game so they can adapt some mechanics to adapt
