A total immersion

Classic escape games, often located in themed venues in cities, already offer a captivating immersion. But when the adventure takes place in a 15th-century castle , a Romanesque abbey , or a haunted manor , the experience takes on a whole new dimension. Stone walls , Gothic vaults , spiral staircases , and secret rooms become integral elements of the storyline. The soundscape (footsteps, echoes, wind in the corridors) and visuals (dim lighting, stained glass windows, frescoes) enhance the immersion, transporting players to another era.
