An experience that the editors were able to test beforehand. Among the participants, one did not see the film, the other was able to see it in press screening. A difference that does not pose any problem here, since an actor will explain what it's all about, whether you have seen the movie or not (you can do theescape game before your movie session).

As for the puzzles, we won't lie to you: they are very simple, allowing even the most novice to succeed in getting out in time, theescape game not being there to challenge you (it's not its goal), but to propose you to prolong the experience. And on this side, it is rather successful. The idea? Just like in the movie, you have to find evidence indicating that you are the murderer in this story, but also other evidence indicating self defense.

An experience that, for an escape game accessible with the purchase of a ticket for the film, is worth the detour, if only to prolong the immersion in the film. Otherwise, it's the opportunity to take advantage of this escape game to discover this feature film.

So, are you ready to take up the challenge? All you have to do is book your cinema ticket!
