Frequently Asked Questions

For any other question, do not hesitate to contact us.

    • I'm alone, can I play?

      Our adventure is played with at least 2 players. Some communication challenges require interaction between at least 2 players.

    • Is the game available in English?

      Yes! Both "The Disappearance" and "Unsung Heroes" are available in English and French. You can choose the game language when launching your game from the mobile app.

    • Is the finish close to the start?

      The finish point is always less than 300m from the start, except in the following cities: Besançon, Bercy (where the distance is about 1km).

    • Do I need a mobile network to play?

      Yes, the Eskap mobile app requires mobile network access throughout the game.

    • Can I play with my children?

      Of course! The minimum recommended age is 14, as some puzzles can be difficult to complete. If your child doesn't have a phone, they can team up with an adult.

    • 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).

    • Is the same mission available in each city?

      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.
