Hilarious Labs, an immersive experience inspired by the TV game Lol Qui rit Sort in Paris

Are you and your mates a dream team of merrymakers with whom the antics are never the same? Then this experience could well add another layer to the pantheon of your best anecdotes. Perhaps you've already followed theshow "Lol, qui rit sort"?

If you haven't already, we'll sum up the concept for you in a few words: this game show brings together a number of comedians and personalities known for their sense of humor. The contestants, who play for themselves, are locked in a loft and have to make others laugh without making themselves laugh. If you laugh, you get out. The winner is the person who manages to maintain self-control while eliminating the competition!

A new experience inspired by this "try not to laugh" challenge now awaits us in Paris: Hilarious Labs, an original concept in the capital's 11th arrondissement . From now on, you'll be able to play the game and challenge your buddies to this merciless humor tournament.

Designed for groups of 4 to 16 players, sessions last one hour for the actual game (allow 1h30 between briefing and debriefing). Hilarious Labs has adapted the concept so that everyone can enjoy the experience for the duration of the game. So, unlike the show, there are no eliminations, but rather a points system: you win points if you make others laugh, and you lose points if you laugh yourself. The winner of the game is decided in a secret final.

So, how does the experience actually unfold? In the game, you're guided by a game master who ensures the flow stays lively. To get into the spirit of things, the session kicks off with a warm-up that quickly immerses you in the moment.

Surrounding you are a multitude of bizarre accessories and costumes that defy logic, along with a spinning wheel of challenges that plunge you into utterly absurd tasks. Fair warning: you'll need to leave your fear of looking silly at the door. Success requires giving it your all, and the game master is there precisely to push you to your limits. But go all-in, and beware—there’s no such thing as a free ride: messing up your own game will cost you points. After all, as the saying goes, “Without risk, there’s no glory.”

Even if you’re shy, the presence of a game master can help boost your confidence and encourage you to let go. However, you really need to have a good sense of humor and the ability to go along with the crazy antics—even if it means risking looking silly. Otherwise, this experience might not be for you. It’s a great original activity for a stag party, an bachelorette party, or even a team-building session, depending on the group’s vibe. Beyond the immersive game, this venue also aims to be a lively spot centered around humor, offering its own comedy club. Stay tuned!
