PERMANENTLY CLOSED - You’ve been waiting for it: it’s finally here, the new entertainment concept in Paris! Originally from Hungary and the UK, the live escape game is becoming the latest trendy experience for young people and families looking for new activities and thrills, budding Sherlocks, and companies in need of team-building activities.
The goal is simple: lock a group of friends, a family or colleagues in a room and wait for them to get out within the allotted time: 60 minutes. With this concept, Hint Hunt draws crowds to its small venue near Beaubourg, where three identical rooms allow three groups to play at the same time.
Although Hint Hunt launched in Paris in December 2013 with a scenario already in use in London, its success has been such that a second venue could soon open its doors to offer players a new puzzle and meet demand.



A second puzzle? Essential! Because you leave feeling fulfilled, with only one thing on your mind: reliving the sensations you experienced for an hour. The excitement, the fear, the joy; that adrenaline rush that brings the group together. But a live escape game is a one-shot game: you can only play once because, obviously, you know the answer by the end.
It will still cost between €19 and €30, depending on the number of participants and the time slot you choose, but we can only recommend this experience! Just make sure you choose the right team—people you want to build stronger bonds with, and, if possible, people with complementary strengths, since a bottle of champagne awaits the record holders (53'59")!
In our case, we made it out! Not bad, considering that 50% of groups get stuck and don’t escape within the allotted 60 minutes. A small victory, making it out in 59'02"...
Can you rise to the challenge and push beyond your limits? An incredible live puzzle game and a team that welcomes you with a smile make it well worth a visit!
