Anatole Latuile: Mission Startruc, Kairos’s space-themed escape game in Paris

Anatole Latuile: Mission Startruc has been offering a space adventure at Kairos Escape Game in Paris’s 11th arrondissement since February 2026. Suitable for ages 6 and up when accompanied by an adult, this escape room gives teams one hour to save Captain Startruc.

A schoolboy saving the cosmos? With Anatole Latuile: Mission Startruc, Kairos Escape Game offers a space adventure at 42 rue Sedaine, in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, near Bastille. Opened in February 2026, the escape room gives teams 60 minutes to rescue Captain Startruc. It welcomes families with children aged 6 and up accompanied by an adult, as well as groups of friends.

The plot takes the comic-book characters and sends them off to face an intergalactic threat. As Bayard Jeunesse explains, Anatole, Naomie Crumble and their friends must save a shuttle attacked by the Morvox. L'Infâme gluant and Ursule Tentacule have concocted a dangerous substance, CM2, short for “Cocktail Mortel deuxième génération” (“Second-Generation Deadly Cocktail”). The goal is to retrieve a briefcase containing samples of the concoction, whose recipe involves black holes and supernovas. The tone remains that of a comic-book adventure, right down to the threat they must thwart.

To carry out this mission, the focus is on the escape game: a team searches for clues and solves puzzles to move a story forward before time runs out. The Kairos FAQ highlights the importance of observation, logic and communication between participants. So what some players discover should help the others make progress.

The difficulty can be chosen to suit the group. According to the official Mission Startruc information sheet, two versions are available: a family and children’s mode, and an expert mode for adults. Families therefore have a dedicated mode, while experienced players can choose the expert level. Kairos says the game is for two to seven players and is played in French. Teams of minors must be accompanied by an adult. The venue also states that the room is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.

As for the budget, the Kairos price list shows €45 per person for two players, €32 for three, €28 for four, and €25 for groups of five or more. A €4 surcharge per participant applies on weekends, public holidays and during school holidays. Bookings are made online. To allow enough time for the briefing before the mission begins, the venue asks guests to arrive 10 to 15 minutes before their reserved time slot.
