Fancy having your very own Blair Witch moment? That's the concept behind Black Gargoyle, a brand of immersive, terrifying experiences based in the Seine-et-Marne region of France, where you can scare the life out of yourself at night, in the forest, while solving an investigation. Ready for adventure?

Do you like to be scared? Are you a fan of horror films such as Blair Witch, Last Summer and Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Then you're going to love Black Gargoyle, the immersive horror experience that takes you on an adventure in the woods every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in spring, and Monday and Thursday in summer. The experience is available every evening from September 1 to the end of November (winter closing December to February). Part escape game, part immersive theater, this Seine-et-Marne adventure (20 minutes by car from Porte de Bercy) invites you to discover two experiences that will scare the living daylights out of you! What are these two experiences? Here they are:

  • La Fôret - 140 minutes - 4 to 12 players

"You have been sent to this forest tonight, to help the police with an investigation that has stalled. Every 77 years for several centuries, a group of people has disappeared in this forest. Each time, only one victim is found, hanging from a tree a few days later. New disturbing disappearances have just been reported, so your psychic skills have been called upon by Inspector Neveux to find some leads, before it's too late. Armed with your strange equipment, set off in search of answers. Use your gift to see what only you can see. But in this fight against evil, beware, for your link to the darkness could put you in grave danger.

  • Le Sacrifice - 140 minutes - 4 to 12 players, under 18s not allowed

"You're urbex and paranormal content creators, and you're trying to break through with scary videos. You're up to something creepy, but huge: the illegal exploration of a private forest in 77, where a team of youtubers called "The Hexplorers" allegedly disappeared in 2022. Apparently, the place is haunted at night. For the occasion, you'll be joined by Alex and Sam, bloggers from the "Enquêtes Occultes" website, who are passionate about the occult, true crime and cold cases. They're experts in their field, so their presence will be a great help as you try to make contact with the spirits of the forest. You know better than to mess with that stuff, but the opportunity to understand what happened 2 years ago and explode on the networks makes you want to give it a try. Unfortunately, there are some things you're better off not waking up to, and your expedition soon turns into a veritable hell from which you may not come back".

Note that Le Sacrifice is a sequel to the first Black Gargoyle adventure, with the events of this adventure taking place two years later. The idea behind these experiences is to survive together, sometimes sacrificing yourselves and surpassing your limits, all to achieve the group's mission. Each challenge will push you beyond your limits. But don't think you'll be alone: you'll be accompanied by several actors during this adventure, depending on the decisions you make and the progression of the story.

And before you book a game, a few things you should know: the experience is forbidden to pregnant women, heart patients and asthmatics, as well as to PRMs (unless you can move easily over long distances, quickly. To be discussed with the organizers beforehand). Young people over 14 are allowed to take part if accompanied by a legal guardian or at least three adults). So, are you ready for the scare of your life with Black Gargoyle?
