Halloween murder party in Paris: La Meute

One Halloween night, vaulted cellars on the Île Saint-Louis, twenty-four players and traitors among you. Book your seats, we take care of the rest.

26 Oct. to 1 Nov.Sessions open to everyone
€35 incl. VATper person
Up to 24 playersper session, ages 12 and up
9 quai de BourbonLe Secret de l’Île, Paris 4

A murder mystery? Not quite. Werewolf, played for real.

For the rest of the year we keep La Meute for companies, as a werewolf team building, and for private groups. For Halloween, we open the sessions to everyone.

You go down into the vaulted cellars of the Île Saint-Louis, you receive a cloak and a secret role, and the game begins. Actors in costume lead the game, the sets and the soundtrack do the rest. You play with strangers, and it is even better when you do not know who to trust.

A session lasts two hours and brings together up to 24 players. Come in costume if you feel like it, the cloak is provided.

What is waiting for you during the game

You have a role

Member of the brotherhood or traitor in disguise: you receive your role on arrival and you keep it secret. Your glances, your alliances and your lies make the game.

Unmask the murderers

Among you hide those who want to wake the Beast. Watch, accuse, defend yourself and name the guilty before the final judgement.

Less reading, more playing

No character booklet to learn. Everything happens live, through bluff and persuasion, and the game changes with every session.

Nobody leaves the game

An eliminated player joins the council of spirits and still weighs on the ending. You play until the very last minute.

How the evening unfolds

Cloak and mask, ink drawing

Welcome and roles

The actors greet you, hand you your cloak and your secret role, then explain the rules to everyone. No experience of werewolf is needed.

Candle and wax seal, ink drawing

The days and the nights

By day you argue, accuse and vote. By night La Meute works in the shadows. In between, there are rituals to perform and secrets to uncover.

Accusing hands, ink drawing

The final judgement

The four chosen ones face the Beast. The brotherhood wins if it has unmasked the traitors in time. Then comes the reveal of every role.

Glass and sweets, ink drawing

The debrief

You stay around thirty minutes on site to go back over the game together, with a soft drink and a few sweets.

The story

An evil Beast sleeps in the cellars of the Île Saint-Louis. For centuries a brotherhood has made sure it never wakes. But some of its members have been corrupted: they are called La Meute. Every night they conspire to wake the Beast. By day they blend in among the faithful and sabotage their efforts.

You join the brotherhood. Perform the rituals, uncover the secrets and survive until the final judgement. Bluff, accuse, defend yourself. Unmask the infiltrators, choose your four champions and face the Beast before it is too late.

Will you be one of those who protect the world, or will you belong to La Meute?

What players say

“Special mention for the actor, who quite literally took the experience to another level. Present, funny, charismatic, he created an incredible atmosphere, brought the teams together and kept the tension perfectly balanced.”Maria Dorriots, Le Secret de l’Île
“An exceptional evening. A warm welcome and a team that looked after us from start to finish. The hosts were completely in character. I recommend the activity and this incredible venue with its amazing atmosphere.”Aurélie Gosnet, team evening

Your questions before booking your Halloween murder party

Can I come on my own or as a pair for Halloween?
Yes, and that is the whole idea. Every session of Halloween week brings together up to 24 players who do not necessarily know each other. You book the number of seats you want and you form the brotherhood with the other participants.
Do I need to know the werewolf game to play La Meute?
No. The actors explain the rules to everyone at the start of the session, then they stay in the game to lead it. Beginners and seasoned players play together.
What is the minimum age to play La Meute?
La Meute is not open to under-12s. The atmosphere is dark and the game runs on bluff and accusation: from the age of 12, you get the most out of it.
How much is a seat for the Halloween murder party?
€35 incl. VAT per person for an open session during Halloween week. A private session for your group costs €800 incl. VAT for up to 24 players. Outside Halloween, we send you a quote.
How long does a session of La Meute last?
90 minutes of play, around 2 hours on site including the welcome and the handing out of roles. You then stay about thirty minutes to talk the game over with a soft drink and a few sweets.
Am I out of the game once I am unmasked?
No. An eliminated player joins the council of spirits, an active role that weighs on the ending. You play right to the end.
Can La Meute be played in English?
Yes, La Meute is played in French or in English. For an open session, write to us before you book; for a private session, tell us in your quote request.
Can La Meute be played outside Halloween?
Yes, as a private session. Companies, associations, birthdays, hen and stag parties book the whole session on the date of their choice, up to 24 people. We answer your quote request within 24 hours.
