Located just a stone's throw from the Opéra Garnier, Escape Hunt offers three immersive scenarios in Paris, as part of this flagship escape game in Europe. Here's a look back at an activity that combines reflection and adventure.

How about an escape game in Paris? Since setting up shop in Europe in 2014 with its first opening in Brussels, Escape Hunt has established itself as a major player in the world of escape games. In France, the brand rapidly deployed in Paris and Bordeaux in 2015 before expanding its network to other cities such as Marseille and Clermont-Ferrand. Located at 5 rue de Hanovre in the 2nd arrondissement, the Paris facility invites puzzle and adventure fans to explore captivating scenarios.

The Parisian site currently offers three scenarios, spread over four rooms, each offering a unique immersion experience:

"Can you retrieve the lamp from the sorcerer's impenetrable magic chest? The sorcerer Abanazar has returned to take his revenge on Aladdin and the genie... Trapping Aladdin by confiscating the lamp, he locks him in his palace, then sows misery and destruction in Arabia. Recover the lamp and save the genie before it's too late. A difficult mission, as the lamp is protected by powerful spells that you'll have to break with all your wits!

"Mysterious plants are invading Paris. Reverse the course of events to save the capital from a plant apocalypse. Nature seems against you as vegetation gradually invades Paris. Your research leads you to the home of Professor Prosper Trifolium, an eccentric botanist where everything seems to have started. You have 60 minutes to turn things around, or you'll be trapped forever...".

"Plunged into the heart of the Paris metro, you have 60 minutes to get your hands on the loot of a mysterious pickpocket, and find your way out! For weeks now, users of the Paris metro have been subjected to repeated thefts... Twenty to thirty thefts a day, and a mysterious pickpocket eludes all surveillance! The station clerk has stopped traffic to allow you to move around and observe the clues left here and there. But traffic can't be stopped for more than an hour, as users are already on edge!

The experience is accessible from age 10 (except for the room in the metro), with puzzles adapted to different levels of difficulty. Sessions can accommodate from two to six participants, and are conducted in French or English. Advance booking is recommended to guarantee room availability. Escape Hunt warns that some activities may not be suitable for people who are claustrophobic or sensitive to immersive environments. Shall we book a room?
