Fancy extending the adventure ?
Why not try our immersive escape games too ? These are suitable for those aged 12 and over, accompanied by an adult. There are two scenarios to choose from: The Tears of Melusine and The Last Knight.
« The Tears of Melusine »
The fairy Mélusine, trapped by a spell, needs your help to break her curse. Mélusine is trapped in a body that is half-woman, half-snake. Only a potion can free her from this form. To do so, you must venture into the enchanted forest and gather the magical ingredients before it is too late.
« The Last Knight »
During recent building works, a secret chamber was uncovered within Mélusine Castle. Inside, a parchment belonging to our ancestor, the knight Johan Rémont, was discovered. This ancient document refers to the existence of his legendary sword, of which we knew nothing until now. It is said that the knight’s soul will only find eternal rest if his sword rests with him. It is therefore up to you to unravel the mysteries of this secret chamber and find the sword in order to set our ancestor’s tormented soul free.
For around an hour, your team will need to observe, think, solve puzzles and uncover the secrets of rooms that are usually closed to the public.
