A non-French-speaking friend is visiting the capital but wants to try an Escape Game in Paris? Crack the Egg offers a version English for all our scenarios. Learn More.

Our immersive experiences were designed for adults. However, our puzzles can be solved by middle school students accompanied by adults.
That is why we ask that groups of teenagers under 14 years of age be accompanied by at least one adult for an optimal experience.


We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the scenario "The Black Egg" is particularly disturbing for sensitive viewers. We strongly advise against it for children under 12.


Also, be aware that the scenario "The Disturbing Professor Tychsen" may be a little scary and is reserved for the bravest children.

Finally, since our games are really not made for them, toddlers who have not reached the age of reason (under 7 years old) do not need to pay for their place.

A gaming session with us takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes:

  • 15-minute briefing
  • up to 60 minutes of gameplay (70 minutes maximum for the "The Shelter" scenario)
  • 15-minute debriefing

At Crack the Egg, each room has been designed to offer a challenging but not impossible experience; they all have a success rate between 60 and 65%. However, each one has its own specific features:

  • Chinatown, in the clutches of the Triad  Above all, you will need to be rigorous in your search. The most meticulous teams are more successful.
  • The Unsettling Professor TychsenThis part will rely more on your logic and composure. It's up to you to understand what you need to do to move forward.
  • The ShelterOn the other hand, it will be more demanding regarding the handling, and the diversity of actions that will be required of you.
  • Finally, theBlack egg will focus more on your cohesion. Don't neglect any information that will be provided to you.


But rest assured! No matter how difficult the mission you choose, Our Game Masters will be there to support you. In your task, when necessary, you will never be alone!


Book

Build the best possible team!

For an optimal experience, our rooms have been designed for teams of at least from 2 people, up to a maximum of 6 people (of 3 to 6 peoples for the scenario The Black Egg).
However, different team compositions present different challenges:

A 2 peopleYour best weapon is fluid communication (in theory) but there is more challenge in searching and solving puzzles.

Whereas at 6 peopleYou will have more pairs of hands to search and solve puzzles, but it will be harder to make yourself heard.

If you still wish to come to 7 peopleThis is still possible. You can book a game for 6 participants on our website and pay an additional €20 on site on the day of your game.

If your group consists of more than 6 people, we have the solution: Our scenario "The Shelter"is available in duplicate! You can therefore form two teams and play the same scenario simultaneously in two separate rooms! Ideal for adding a competitive element to your team building , birthdays, or stag/hen parties!

No problem, This doesn't change anything in your game! We can issue you a credit note valid for 1 year corresponding to the price difference between the game initially planned and the game actually played.


Unless there were two of you originally, in which case we advise you to find another adventurer…
