Fans of Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes should head for Time Corp Escape's 1891 - Baker Street escape game now. An experience we were able to try out... We tell you all about it! DEFINITIVE CLOSING.

On June 7, 2022,Time Corp announced the definitive closure of both its gallery and escape game on July 3. But art lovers can rest assured: the gallery is continuing to evolve on the web, via a digital gallery. So you'll soon be able to find a dematerialized version of Time Corp. And as a farewell gift, the gallery is offering you a special discount to try out its rooms:"You have until July 3 to come and try out or relive our immersive experiences in Sherlock Holmes or the Nautilus! And for that, until closing time, we're offering you a 50% discount voucher on your reservations with the code FAREWELL". We wish the whole team all the best for the future!

An escape game for fun with friends and a little brain-teasing...? Elementary, my dear Watson! For all Sherlock Holmes fans, head for the 3rd arrondissement of Paris to discover 1891 - Baker Street, Time Corp's escape game based on the famous British detective.

What's the pitch? Time Corp is in turmoil. Sherlock Holmes has had to leave in a hurry! It's the first time something like this has happened during one of his missions. There's been no sign of him for 10 days and, what's worse, the conclusions of his investigation are out there! You thought Holmes was just a fictional character? Now that's what we call an excellent cover story, and one that apparently still works in the 21st century. To bring us this extremely important data, we've decided to send our elite agents: you! Your mission: to visit the home of Sherlock Holmes and retrieve the mission-related data.

An adventure we've been able to put to the test: in terms of theme, we're right in the middle of a Sherlock Holmes story, with relevant, meticulously-crafted settings, all of which have been collected by the store's managers. All the puzzles and other mechanisms are entirely "home-made", revealing the genius of the brand, since they are not commonplace. Real good ideas that make all the difference and make Time Corp a truly unique store.

We were also particularly surprised by the accuracy of the level. Surgical precision (this is an intermediate level) in solving the riddles, making it the only sign in Paris to be so precise. As for the riddles, they're also within everyone's grasp, provided you can think on your feet and, most importantly, communicate with the rest of the group. An excellent experience to be continued with Time Corp's future Nautilus room, as the stories are linked. One of the editors' favorites, and one to be booked as a matter of urgency!

This test was conducted as part of a professional invitation. If your experience differs from ours, please mention it in the comments.
