Halloween 2026 in Paris: La Meute, a life-size werewolf on Île Saint-Louis

A cape, a mask and players to beware of: Gamescape invites you to dive into La Meute, its live-action Werewolf game on Île Saint-Louis, from October 26 to November 1, 2026. For Halloween, local actors lead a session suitable for ages 12 and up, set in a vaulted 17th-century cellar.

Beware of your neighbors: for Halloween, Gamescape presents La Meute, a live-action Werewolf game with actors, bringing together up to 24 players from age 12 at Secret de l’Île, in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, from 26 October to 1 November 2026. Typically reserved for businesses and private groups, this experience opens its sessions to the public for one week. So you can come alone, in pairs, or with a few friends, without having to assemble an entire gang.

If you’ve already played Loup-Garou, you know the thrill of suspecting someone on the basis of a single, perhaps a little too conspicuous, smile. Here, Gamescape takes on secret roles, debates and voting, with costumes, set design and a suspenseful soundscape. On arrival, you’re handed a cape and a mask. The professional actors explain the rules and guide the game: no prior knowledge of the game is required.

A Brotherhood to Protect... and Traitors to Unmask

The story drags you into an ancient order sworn to keep a slumbering Beast at bay. But there’s a snag: some members have switched sides and are trying to wake it up. Depending on your assigned role, you’ll either defend the brotherhood or outwit the other players without getting exposed.

The game alternates between day, devoted to exchanges, accusations and votes, and night, when the Pack is at work. Rituals and secrets round out the story until the final judgment. You'll need to listen to the arguments, defend your case, and decide who to trust. With participants you don't necessarily know, it's hard to tell whether your neighbor is a sly liar or simply intimidated.

Even after you’re eliminated, you keep playing

A detail that will resonate with anyone who has spent a Werewolf night watching the others go on after an early exit: the game goes on for players whose character has fallen. They join a “Council of Spirits” and can still influence how things unfold. It keeps you engaged, even when the accusations swing back at you.

Setting also helps set the mood. La Meute unfolds in a 17th-century vaulted cellar, at 9, quai de Bourbon, on Île Saint‑Louis. Under the arches, conversations take on a different rhythm than around a living‑room table. The action here hinges mainly on bluff, observation, and speaking up: it helps to enjoy chatting with others, even if you end up accusing them a few minutes later.

What are the opening hours and ticket prices for La Meute?

Sessions run at 9 p.m. every night, with two additional slots at 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1. The price is €35 per person, bookable through the Gamescape official site. Expect about two hours on site, featuring a 90-minute game and a post-match chat over non-alcoholic drinks and Halloween treats.

To get there, the Pont-Marie station on Line 7 is nearby. The venue is listed as not wheelchair accessible. Be sure to head to Secret de l’Île: this adventure takes place on Île Saint-Louis, at a location different from Gamescape’s escape rooms.

When the roles were revealed, certain conversations should take on a completely different meaning. Was the person you stood up for deserving of your trust? And that accusation fired with such certainty? There’ll likely be a few scores to settle around the candy.
