The Disappearance is an outdoor game, and it's actually the first one I've done... and it's frankly excellent! The objective of the game is to help you discover the city in a fun way, while passing through several main locations in the city. Eskap can be played in a huge number of different cities and seems to be continuously expanding gradually. The fact that we need our phones to guide us throughout the adventure is perfect. It allows for very original game mechanics that even make some puzzles and/or challenges different depending on each player! Communication is therefore emphasized even more thanks to this game mechanic. We indeed have anecdotes about the places we explore, all perfectly integrated into the game. We played in Bordeaux; the route isn’t too long, but it's enough to discover a whole bunch of things and walk through beautiful areas. Moreover, if you get stuck, a help system is integrated directly into the game. You'll never really be stuck for long. Additionally, I really appreciated the design of the application. The puzzles are all well thought out, clear, and feature original mechanics. A big advantage is that you can play whenever you want, taking your time! I really enjoyed this first experience of outdoor gaming, a big thank you to Eskap for this adventure, and I can't wait to discover another one sometime! 😁

I was looking for an original activity to entertain an afternoon with a group of 16 people... and I was advised to try Eskap. Excellent idea! The challenges and puzzles were varied, clever, and well-paced. The app is quite well designed: smooth, generally intuitive... despite a little hiccup with the connection at the start and a few aspects of the help system that could be improved. That said, the experience was very positive, and Christophe was both responsive and very attentive during our debrief. As a result: everyone got into the game... and I can't wait to try the next scenario!

The visit was really nice, but it was the same story as in Besançon.

I had a great time with my family. I recommend it 100%. Alternate phrasing: We had an awesome family outing — highly recommended (100%).

A really cool outdoor game that is unlike any other game I've tried before! The smartphone is an integral part of the game, with a lot of clever tasks to complete on it. The narrative is well-presented in various forms, with a tight storyline that adapts to the city it takes place in! There’s also quite a bit of humor throughout the game. The puzzles are well-crafted, whether through reasoning, searching on the app, or using "software," and the asymmetrical nature of the game means that each player often has different actions to complete. In short, we had a great time in Tours… it's just been released here, so go ahead and dive in!

Great outdoor escape. A fun and entertaining way to explore a city. The puzzles seemed quite difficult at first, until we understood how they worked; it was much smoother after that. All with a very well-designed app (special mention for the design, which I really appreciated). We would gladly do this experience again in other cities.

The positive points - The actions to carry out - The changing concept - The humor - The small historical touches - The cooperation with the asymmetrical aspect of the game The negative points - A slight bug - Be careful, we often have our noses in the smartphone

An excellent treasure hunt, probably the best app-based game played so far. There’s humor, a real storyline, and a really cool use of recognition technology! The game is family-friendly with mini-games and easy challenges, but there are ultimately few puzzles.

A fantastic escape game in Annecy! Grab your phones and head out to investigate as a team. We did it with four people and had a wonderful afternoon full of puzzles, problem-solving, and strolls!

We had a great time in Montpellier just the two of us. The idea is really original: it allows you to discover a small part of the city while playing and participating in a very pleasant adventure with varied moments. We took a little restaurant break and then continued with the evening to complete the adventure! There are certainly things to improve, perhaps placing a bit more emphasis on the historical aspect, possibly with some unique anecdotes about the places visited... It's worth thinking about! But the concept is unique and very interesting! Kudos to the creators, I'm looking forward to your next adventure so that more players can join... 4-6 players should make it really fun. We should be able to push the collaborative aspect even further!
