The pitch, for its part, is most bewitching: After months of stalking, fighting and interrogation, a certain Victor Van Helsing contacts you to help him on a perilous mission... He has succeeded in obtaining crucial information about the last resting place of the notorious Count Dracula. As night falls, you join him in an abandoned manor house, where you'll have to solve a series of riddles to flush out the vampire...

And, as always, you've got an hour to try and get out of this room with its authentic Gothic atmosphere, worthy of the character and the era in which Bram Stocker wrote the novel. Please note that this new adventure is accessible from the age of 12, accompanied by an adult, and of course for the most daring among you. And for good reason: this one's bound to make you break out in a cold sweat.

Your mission: find Dracula and defeat him!

A room that our editorial team got to try out... And we're not going to lie, we had some pretty good scares! The experience isn't scary in itself, but the atmosphere and the genius of the Game Masters will undoubtedly plunge you into total anxiety. So, even if you're a bit wary, you can still try it out, but be warned.

Otherwise, the puzzles are fairly well-balanced, but still give you a hard time. And with good reason: forget the usual puzzle-solving structures! Here, Hint Hunt has completely rethought the way in which the puzzles follow one another in order to complete the mission, which should confuse many.

Special mention must be made of the immersive setting and the ingenious time countdown, which is difficult to predict here (no spoilers, you'll see when you get there...).You're given three missions: find Dracula, kill him and escape... Will you manage to complete these missions in time?

You know all about it... Fans of horror films have no excuse to discover this new adventure full of bite. Shall we visit Dracula's vault, friends?
