Hurry, time is running out!

You play a member of the Freedmen, resisting the dictatorship of the Consortium, and are hunted by the elite soldiers of the merchant guild, the Blacktrons. You have a total of 75 minutes to solve the various puzzles and activate the ion cannon, pointing at the Consortium flagship and freeing the galaxy from its grip. You'll also be able to help Soren Aurorae, daughter of the former leader of the Neutrostar planet and victim of a frame-up.

So, what's the value of this trip into space in the heart of Paris? It works like a charm from start to finish! First and foremost, it's immersive. The sets are absolutely breathtaking, and nothing is left to chance. From floor to ceiling, everything is done to immerse you in a street at the edge of the galaxy, with its screens everywhere, its futuristic decor and its alphabet, the house's own invention. It's beautiful and well done... Perfect, in short.

As for the puzzles, they're varied and complex, but not too complex either, making for a fluid, enjoyable experience. Note that at some point you'll need to earn money to progress in the adventure... And all means are good. Scavenge everywhere, even in places you wouldn't go to at first glance (not all the places you have access to, either), and you should find a few nuggets.

A room that doesn't skimp on special effects either. Smoke, sparks... We don't want to give away too much, but they do have their effect and are well integrated into the adventure. The story of this room, too, is particularly rich, the creators having imagined a whole lore around it, and that's a pleasure to see... In any case, it pushes immersion even further. Note that you end the adventure behind a gunnery post, shooting down enemy ships, Galaga-style... And it's quite enjoyable (though not always easy)!

In conclusion, Majestic Escape Game continues to surprise us with its up-to-the-minute experiences, always at the cutting edge of modernity, and based on themes that are relatively unexploited. A room that we rank among our best escape games to date (but we could consider the whole brand). All that remains is for you to discover this Galactic Mission!

Before you embark on this cosmic adventure, here's some essential information: you'll have to take up this challenge as a team, from 2 to 6 players. The stars are waiting for you! So, why not book a session at Majestic Escape Game?
