Formerly offered by The Escape Agency, this adventure has been redesigned by L'Antichambre, which now runs it from its premises in the 10th arrondissement. The setting, faithful to post-Soviet atmospheres, relies as much on the manipulation of physical objects as on team coordination. The session lasts 70 minutes, a slightly longer-than-average format, and requires between three and five participants. The experience is available in French and English, but is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
