[CLOSED PERMANENTLY] Escape game: Hint Hunt's submarine in peril

[CLOSED FOR GOOD] Hint Hunt, Paris’s pioneer of escape games, unveils its latest puzzle: a submarine to save. Trapped aboard a sinking sub, you’ve got less than an hour to rescue the crew before the pressure becomes deadly.

[CLOSED FOR GOOD] After the success of the first two puzzles, Hint Hunt returns with a third scenario and plunges us into troubled waters. Crew aboard a submarine, we must confront an issue that could wipe out the submarine and its crew. We have one hour to act, or risk perishing!

In Paris, Hint Hunt Escape Room Reopens
In Paris, the Hint Hunt escape room reopens its doors on June 2. From Dracula’s lair to a haunted pirate ship or a submarine, it’s a chance to rediscover the immersive experiences of Paris’s first live escape game. [Read more]

This adrenaline-charged, on-trend team adventure, played with friends in groups of 3 to 5, invites you to combine your knowledge and reflexes and collaborate for an hour to face bad luck and escape a perilous adventure. Nicely put together, this submarine serves as the setting for two missions: a commando-style assault on a Russian submarine, and a rescue operation. One room, two puzzles, it's truly a commendable feat. Indeed, Hint Hunt's team has designed two difficulty levels to come out unscathed from this mad submarine, with different traps to outsmart depending on the crew's level.

Used to escape rooms, we tested the Rescue Mission, in a trio (yes, almost kamikaze mode), and we nearly pulled it off (one mistake away!). Immersive and well put together, you truly get swept along by the Hint Hunt team. It stays engaging every minute; there’s no déjà vu in the puzzles or the maneuvers, plenty of laughs, and, of course, moments of intense stress that are the heart and soul of escape games. The tense soundscape and dim lighting squeeze you into a claustrophobic mood, and even knowing the submarine is just “virtual,” docked in the heart of Paris, you panic and crave solid ground as soon as possible. This submarine throws you a hundred traps, since some elements don’t matter at all and waste your time, for better or for worse.

We're hooked on this new experience, which, frankly, is well worth trying and cements Hint Hunt’s position as the Paris market leader.
