Need help ? Here's our FAQ
DOES THE ESCAPE GAME "THE BASTILLE DUNGEON" SCARY?
No, it is not a horror game but rather a dark and captivating historical immersion. The Bastille Dungeon begins in darkness to enhance realism and place players in the shoes of 18th-century prisoners. The atmosphere is mysterious and immersive, but never terrifying: there are no frightening actors or jump scares. The goal is to entertain and challenge your mind in a historical setting, perfect both for escape game enthusiasts in Paris and families curious about experiencing a unique adventure.
HOW LONG DOES THE ESCAPE GAME LAST?
The game lasts 60 minutes, but plan about 1h15 including briefing and welcome. Like any escape room, the adventure is timed: you have one hour to explore the dungeon, solve puzzles, and attempt to escape before the fall of the Bastille. Add a few minutes for instructions at the beginning and a friendly debriefing at the end. Overall, expect about 1h15 for the complete experience.
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE ESCAPE GAME?
Prices start at €19 per person for a full team. The more players you have, the lower the price per person. At six players, the price is €19/person, making it one of the most affordable escape rooms in Paris for such quality. Smaller groups pay a little more, since the rate is calculated based on the number of participants. This sliding scale pricing allows families, friends, and colleagues to enjoy an immersive activity at the best value. Full details are available on our booking page.
