Escape room with a live actor in Paris
At Le Donjon de Paris, every adventure begins with a game master who plays a character from the story and gradually introduces you to its world, before letting you explore the room on your own.
What the game master does
From the moment you arrive outside, near Place de la République, a game master welcomes you and guides you to your room. They don’t just explain the rules: they play a character from the story, such as the Count’s butler in The Immortal, to gradually bring you into the adventure’s world. During the session, they follow your progress and can adjust their help to your group, while remaining reachable at any time thanks to a panic button.
Why Le Donjon is not just cameras and padlocks
Every puzzle at Le Donjon is designed to fit into the room’s story rather than being a simple isolated mechanism. Detailed sets, crafted scenarios and actor involvement let you live a genuine adventure rather than a simple series of brain teasers watched remotely by a camera.
The Tavern and its actors
To extend the immersion after your adventure, Le Donjon's medieval Tavern offers entertainment with actors, in addition to its authentic bar and immersive banquet hall. A way to end the evening in the same spirit as the escape room.
