Desde la idea inicial hasta la finalización
From His Sketches to Our Plans
Matthieu, the founder, sent us his project and floor plans in June 2019:- seven rooms, each with its own horror scene.
- his sketches of every room: a bedroom, a parlour, a kitchen, a cellar.
- every step discussed and agreed with him.
Built and Tested in Our Workshop
Every set went through the same stages:- machining: raw materials cut to shape and size.
- painting and hand-painted artwork by our artists.
- electronics installed and every game checked before shipping.
The Start of Our Self-Restarting Rooms
The Paris project became a concept of its own:- rooms of about 15 minutes each, played one after another.
- players find the cards hidden in each room to move on.
- doors open by themselves, and the room resets for the next group.
