[CLOSED FOR GOOD] ZEN room, HintHunt's second escape-room experience

[CLOSED FOREVER] If the mystère de la mort de James Murdock has fascinated you, then the ZEN room will satisfy that itch. The second escape room imagined by HintHunt’s team takes us to the far reaches of Japan, for an even wilder investigation.

In Paris, Hint Hunt's escape game reopens its doors on June 2. From Dracula’s lair to a haunted pirate ship—or a submarine—it's a chance to rediscover the immersive experiences that defined Paris' first live escape game. [Read more]

The goal of the game stays the same: you deliberately lock yourself in a room with up to four friends, and you try to escape by working together and avoiding squabbles. 60 minutes are on the clock, and a countdown timer nudges you with every passing second.

With this second offering, HintHunt is tapping into a strong appetite for thrills and adrenaline. It’s fair to say HintHunt has hooked players and paved the way for a new genre of gaming—the escape room—which is sprouting all over Paris. Some even admit they opened their own escape games after discovering HintHunt.
