Calling all mystery and escape game fans! Pandore & Associés, an escape game chain in Paris, invites you to discover its two adventures. An unprecedented dive into the heart of a warehouse, the largest escape game room in Paris, containing many extraordinary objects and creatures in over 130m2 of space. We've tested it, and we'll tell you all about it!

If you're a fan ofescape games, the editors of Sortiraparis may have found something for you. Pandore & Associés is the name of this new experience imagined by the gamification agency Coqs en Pâte, which opened its doors on June 9, 2021. The store was originally scheduled to open during the lockdown, but the coronavirus meant that this new exploration had to be postponed.

What isPandore & Associés? It's the very first warehouse for extraordinary objects and creatures to open its doors in the capital, in the 11th arrondissement, in a space of over 130m2, making the first room offered by the establishment the largest in Paris. A warehouse where numerous artifacts are stored, having become too dangerous or cumbersome for their owners.

A total of two adventures are on offer:

Storytelling rules

For many years, Pandore & Associés has been the guardian of the World of Tales. But it's more fragile than it looks. Pandore is looking for new LXR agents to maintain this enchanted universe. You are recruited for a simple maintenance operation. But what if this minor breakdown is actually hiding a major threat to the Fairytale World?

The Fantastic Warehouse

Pandore & Associés invites you on an exclusive tour of its extraordinary warehouse. A unique opportunity to discover all its magical objects and creatures. Please check with your insurance company that you are covered against all risks. The company declines all responsibility in the event of an incident involving one of its objects or creatures during your visit.

As for the scenery, it's very well thought-out, and you won't come across any padlocks or keys, but rather state-of-the-art mechanisms, each more innovative than the last. The course is suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM). As for sanitary measures, everyone is required to wear a mask, and to wash their hands on entering and leaving the premises. Spaces are also systematically cleaned, from top to bottom, after each visit.

As our colleagues from BFM Paris explain, this large-scale space houses several actors, as well as"numerous technologies, immersive scenography, special effects, sound, light, fireworks, explosions...". And in addition to this giant course, Pandore & Associés offers an alternative game mode, specially designed for companies, which can accommodate up to 30 people simultaneously. Five teams can take part in the adventure at the same time, and the dedicated space is fully equipped for meetings. The company also offers catering services and magic shows"based on the secrets of Pandora".

An adventure that the editors were able to try out and particularly appreciated. In terms of immersion, it's all there: you move seamlessly from one zone to another, with everything cleverly thought out. The wide-open spaces, part of which becomes a mini maze in which you'll have to crawl on all fours, offer a different, life-saving level of play compared to the majority of Parisian venues.
As for the puzzles, they're pretty straightforward and accessible to most, but that doesn't mean you don't have to rack your brains - some of them may well push you over the edge. As for the decor and special effects, everything is done to facilitate immersion and make your adventure thrilling. In short, don't hesitate to discover the mysteries offered by Pandore & Associés!

A most intriguing experience, for which you can already reserve your tickets. Are you ready to discover a mysterious new universe?
