Synopsis of Catacombs Nightmare at The Dark Dreams

"Stop, for this is the empire of death. Did you know that beneath your feet lies a labyrinth of over 800 hectares of underground galleries, 20 metres deep? And what if you could access it directly via a unique elevator, refurbished especially for you? This is where your adventure begins... Will you dare to unravel the mysteries of this silent empire?

Whether you're a fan of puzzle games, looking for an outing with friends, family (adults or teenagers) or in a professional setting, the experience is designed to be shared in groups of 2 to 6 people. The activity is open to children aged 9 and over, with the presence of adults recommended for younger children, given the atmosphere of the game.

This room is also suitable for a team-building outing, with cooperation mechanisms well integrated into the progression. The narrative and scenography, without excess, plunge players into an underground adventure, with a controlled level of tension, without tipping over into gratuitous terror.

A place designed for immersion

The Dark Dreams features a sober staging, built around a rehabilitated elevator as a point of entry to the fictional depths of the setting. The environment reproduces the world of the catacombs in a narrative register akin to atmospheric theater, avoiding outrageous special effects in favor of progressive tension.

The room is characterized by a desire for measured realism: no supernatural creatures or omnipresent sound effects, but a slow conditioning, conducive to reflection. The puzzles, spread over several areas, follow a logical thread, without excessive difficulty, making this an activity accessible even to beginners.

Trailer for Catacombs Nightmare:

And for newcomers, a few reminders...

Haven't you heard of escape games yet? Don't panic: we'll explain everything! Escape games are immersive, scripted activities in which a group of players must solve a series of enigmas in a limited time - usually 60 minutes - to achieve a specific objective. In the case of Catacombs Nightmare, the objective is to explore the depths of fictitious galleries while discovering the secrets of a deserted place.

The adventure can be played by 2 to 6 players. However, the spaces are not suitable for people with reduced mobility, due to certain structural constraints. The experience is offered in French only, and advance booking is recommended, especially on weekends. For those looking for a structured activity, in a soberly immersive and signposted setting, Catacombes Nightmare offers a clear and defined proposition. Ready for the fright of your life?
