Cobaye, Grimgate's new immersive horrific experience, plunges you into an escape game forbidden to under-16s, between a creepy laboratory, brutal tests and a creature lurking in the shadows.

Do you dare to enter a game where fear is no longer an effect, but a reality? Plunged into the darkness of an abandoned research center, you hear whispers that have nothing human about them... and the sensation of being watched, tracked and manipulated. Did you think you'd come here for a simple escape game? Forget everything you know about classic escape games... Welcome to Wanderlust Escape Game pour Cobaye, a horrific Halloween experience, just for you!

Total immersion in a terror scenario

With Cobaye, Grimgate transforms the sign into a veritable theater of horror. There are no padlocks for you to open with your friends. You're forcibly locked up in a sordid complex, reduced to the rank of guinea pigs in a forbidden experiment. The atmosphere? Oppressive. The ordeals? Physical, mental and imbued with palpable tension. The décor, meticulous in every detail, evokes devastated underground laboratories where something has gone wrong. Very badly.

This adventure, which is forbidden to under-16s, is enjoyed in a group, but don't rely too much on your team-mates for reassurance: everyone is put to the test, alone, facing their limits. If you're a thrill-seeker, fascinated by creepy atmospheres, or looking for an out-of-the-ordinary experience for an adult outing, you'll find something here to feed your deepest fears. But be warned: this game is not for the faint-hearted, the claustrophobic or those sensitive to stress or fear.

An interactive, physical, closed-door event to test your nerves

The goal? To survive. Not by simply solving puzzles, but by agreeing to obey, exploring rooms corrupted by an invisible presence, resisting the instinct to flee. Here, your fear becomes a weapon against you. The more you show it, the closer the prowling creature gets. And believe it or not, it's only waiting for a sign of weakness to strike.

Unlike traditional escape games, Cobaye uses psychological thriller mechanics, enhanced by realistic interactions, unsettling sound effects and flesh-and-blood actors who appear without warning. You're no longer playing, you're immersed in a sensory experience where your reaction to danger is observed, tested and exploited.

An extreme evening experience

Perfect for a thrilling afterwork, a night out with horror film buffs or a crazy birthday party, Cobaye is in the tradition of immersive survival horror attractions. The atmosphere is dark, the narration meticulous, and the feeling of being really trapped won't leave you for long.

This Grimgate creation uses a realistic atmosphere and a disturbing proximity to danger to take you out of your comfort zone. Thought you had it all under control? Here, you won't have to. Because the game has its rules, and above all a single requirement: don't show your fear.

An address for thrill-seekers

Located in the heart of the Wanderlust Escape Game, this scenario is aimed above all at fans of immersive horrific experiences, groups of adults in search of adrenalin, or the curious who want to test their limits in a safe but unsettling setting. Families, children, sensitive persons and people with heart problems are advised to abstain.

If you're a fan of disturbing worlds, secret laboratory scenarios and uncontrolled scientific experiments, this is the game for you. And if you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be stalked in a confined space, Cobayes gives you the chance to find out, without filter or artifice.

So, are you ready to become the next guinea pigs?
