PERMANENTLY CLOSED - Prizoners, a new adventure game in Paris

PERMANENTLY CLOSED – Prizoners is the ultimate new adventure game to experience as a team! Just a stone’s throw from Beaubourg, the Prizoners team is waiting to send you on special missions set in different periods of history. After choosing a team name, head to the Bastille Prison or Sorbonne University (and soon, the Palais de l'Elyséum). Locked inside one of these two extraordinary worlds, you have 60 minutes to solve a great mystery surrounding Richelieu’s death. Ingenuity, observation and teamwork are your only weapons if you’re to prevail!

PERMANENTLY CLOSED - After Hint Hunt, Mystery Escape, and La Grand Aventure Galactique, we’re introducing you to Prizoners and its three different worlds all in one single venue.

Here, the experiences are all about the history of Paris: you’re transported to three different places and times, and given a mission to thwart the Ordre Pourpre and discover the magical powers of the Spiritus Orbis! You have to think on your feet and not let the eerie surroundings overwhelm you—they were designed by film professionals. The goal here isn’t to escape a room in under an hour, but to solve a mystery surrounding the city of Paris.

The first experience takes you inside the Bastille Prison in 1635, amid stone vaults, a few torches and instruments of torture. Locked in the cells of the legendary building... you have to solve the mystery alongside Adélaïde the skeleton.

Then, a second event takes us into the heart of Sorbonne University, in 1935. Summoned by Ernest de Fronsac, the head of the Sorbonne, you must solve the mystery of Richelieu’s death. You’re among the institution’s best students—what could possibly happen to you?

The third installment will take us to the Élysée Palace in 2135, where a terrible danger threatens humanity.

At Prizoners, the experience is new and very different. Here, the building’s exposed stone cellar walls transport us straight into the world of the Bastille and the Sorbonne’s underground chambers. You can almost smell the dust, and the dim lighting evokes a time before modern technology. At Prizoners, live escape game addicts will discover a new, more authentic sensation. No timer, and no on-screen clues. Only Ariane, our fairy godmother, can answer our questions with a yes or no!

This adventure game is very well put together and requires us to work together with friends or colleagues. In three stages, the story encourages us to explore other spaces and continue the adventure through the streets of Paris, in search of the keys to the CODEX.
