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!

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

    • Can we take a break during the game?

      Of course! For example, you can take a meal break and resume later.

    • Can I play at night?

      Yes! All puzzles can be completed at night and the route doesn't pass through places that are closed at night. If you have the choice, we recommend playing during the day, as some areas may be less pleasant or less frequented at night.

    • Are the routes suitable for people with reduced mobility and strollers?

      Yes. We take care to offer a route without stairs or narrow passages to make it as accessible as possible (routes are generally in pedestrian areas).

      Yes, each mission is the same in all cities where it is available. However, you can play our different missions in the same city or in different cities.

    • Is one phone per team enough?

      No, you need one phone per player. The experience contains multiplayer communication challenges where each player needs their own phone.

    • Is there availability?

      Eskap is a no-reservation, self-guided game. With your game code you can choose the time and day that suits you, there's always room.

    • What is the difficulty level?

      Each mission has its own difficulty level: "The Disappearance" is easy and suitable for all audiences, while "Unsung Heroes" is of medium difficulty. In all cases, clues are available from the Eskap mobile app to help you. The puzzles call on various skills: observation, logic, communication.
