Neighborhood: Canal Saint-Martin
The tree-lined Canal Saint-Martin is the focal point of one of the most romantic and hip areas of Paris. Watch boats travel along the canal while lovers and friends take in the atmosphere from the banks or the bridges. Evenings see hoards fill the embankments to drink wine and enjoy good company. The colder days lead people to hipster bars, cozy restaurants, and concert spaces. Those who are more adventurous may explore hidden gems down nearby streets, from local bars to futuristic architecture. With its enriching mix of people of all ages and backgrounds, this neighborhood has a dynamic, inspiring vibe.

The staff was wonderful and the game design was extraordinary. There won't be any problems if you don't speak French, as they have English versions of games and the staff speaks great English. They were beyond helpful, and you can feel their love and passion for the games. Water and towels were provided as well as many other considerate designs. I had a wonderful time and in my opinion this was the best thing that I have tried in Paris. Would definitely visit again.

We had a fantastic evening with very challenging enigmas. You will question your own intelligence sometimes ;-) but it feels amazing to win the game even though! We followed the game in English as we were a large group of international colleagues. Very fun, challenging and original evening out!

Booked our spot online as I saw this place was highly rated.
The game was nicely themed but most of all, the Gamemasters made all the difference! The first girl (Ariane) explained the general what to expect and gave some helpful tips before we started - very clear! And the guy monitoring our game play via camera (Renart, I believe) was also super helpful and gave great clues over the speaker system (rather than giving vague one-way clues via a screen). We can't actually talk to him but we could make hand signals whenever he asked us a question for example.
Some of the clues are a bit tough (mathematical calculations here and there) and so Renart's help was definitely something our group needed! (Don't worry if you prefer to play without too much help - I think he saw we needed it and he didn't GIVE THE CLUE AWAY directly he just gave us tips on solving it ;) ).
We made it out at the 59th minute! We did the Eiffel Tower-themed room.
Overall great experience -- nicely organised. They also answered my questions that I had via Facebook messenger so extra points for that :)

We chose the Gustav Eiffel room. They recommend 3 or more people but I went with one more person, which made things much more difficult! Even so, we had a lot of fun, the staff was super nice and friendly and showed us all the enigmas that we did not solve in the end.
Will definitely try the other rooms soon!

Sir Eiffel was delighted to receive you in his mischivious room. Now that you know you'll be ready for "La Bastille".
We hope to see you soon.

We had a great time escaping from The Alchemist themed room. As a group of English speaking tourists, we found the gamemaster (Irving) did a great job of communicating with us and made the whole experience very inviting and entertaining.
The English clues were all given alongside the French ones clearly.
I would not hesitate to recommend Gamescape to anybody - if we had more time in Paris we would have gone back to try out the other rooms as well.

We've done several escape rooms with our 11- and 13-year old daughters, and it's often quite frustrating because they're both very independent. We chose the Bastille room and it definitely made us work together! Also, the game was designed so that players of every age and skill level could contribute, unlike some where the puzzles are often a bit over the kids' heads. Although it is considered the "easiest", it is still quite challenging (we only made it out with a few minutes to spare).
The room itself was very well-decorated, the puzzles well-designed and varied, and the host was very professional. We all agreed that it was the most enjoyable of all the escape rooms we've visited.

We are going to blush !! But it is true that the Bastille has a good way to tie up a family. We are so glad you enjoyed your trip in time and had fun in our « so confortable and well-décorated» prison.

We booked the Bastille escape room. We were only 2 adults and our two kids who are young but enjoy escape rooms. We enjoyed how the game was set up and the room setting was really nice. The immersion was therefore excellent. We almost managed to escape but had misplaced an element which we needed at the end!
Being only two adults, we got some help along, the room was of a good difficulty level, which really ends up being adjusted depending on the help you get.
The welcome was friendly, and the reception is also theme coordinated with the rooms which was an added bonus.

Hello Chloe,
Thank you for your interest in Gamescape. It would be better if you could gather a team of three to five people as that's how the room are supposed to be played.Also, we do not have couple's rates and you will have to pay as if there were three people.
Feel free to contact us should you have anymore questions.
Best regards
