Immersive Escape Rooms are still popular. These trendy games deviate from the classic format in which the player has 60 minutes to escape the room by solving a series of puzzles. In the immersive version, he moves over a much larger area and comes into contact with characters (actors) who decorate his experience.
It is in this second category that Batman Escape is placed, imagined by a company specializing in this genre in collaboration with Warner Bros. Located in the old La Villette shopping center (Vill’up), this new space immerses you in the world of DC. When we go there to test one of the three proposed scenarios, we are amazed by the decoration.
Harley Quinn Sidecar Motorcycle
Of course, there are references to Batman, but not only that: from the Gotham City gazette to the real/fake penguin surrounded by gold bands, including the tags left by the Joker and his team, and even the side of the motorcycle – because of Harley Quinn. There is something for fans and not so fans. Even the cocktails offered by the bar match the theme: we were able to taste Poison Ivy (and survive!), a nod to one of the Dark Knight’s most famous enemies.
Very joker decor
Batman Escape has a surface area of almost 1,000 m2, making it the largest immersive game in France. When we attend opening night, we are asked to choose between two scenarios: the Batcave and the Joker. We are tempted by the latter…
Welcome to Arkham Asylum
The pitch is simple: we’re a team of journalists and we have a chance to meet the Joker exclusively. Armed with our credentials and mobile phone, we set off on our adventure. First stop: Gotham City subway, direction Arkham.
Go to a lunatic asylum…
We won’t reveal the content of this experience, which lasts an average of 70 minutes, to preserve the surprise. But what will surprise you first is the quality of decoration and attention to detail. we believe. The first step is done with the other attending groups (maximum of four per session, or 24 people). We have to be together and work to get out of the first situation. It’s not easy when you don’t know the people in front of you.
In the second part you will compete with them. Harley Quinn (impressive!) offers a series of small games to play in the given time: original, funny and good fun! And to top it all off, we won!
In the third and final part of the escape game, all the teams must work together to foil the Joker’s ultimate plan. Small negative point: you all have to move at the same pace and sometimes wait for the players next to you to finish their task before moving on to the next one. It can quickly turn sour and cacophonous if no one is listening. Fortunately for us, all the puzzles were solved in time. After more than an hour of experience in the Joker’s lair, we left with a smile.
