We were told during the introduction (before starting the game) that it’s non-linear. With that in mind, we thought we could tackle more than one puzzle at a time. Nope. We tackled a puzzle when it wasn’t the right time to do it: as a result, we solved it, but not at the right moment. In our minds, we’d finished it. But it didn’t trigger anything, because it wasn’t the right time to do it. A glitch in one of the puzzles caused us to waste a lot of time. The GM gave us the answer over the phone (by the way, that’s a strange system for receiving clues). We had to remember the answer without knowing where to apply it. They told us it was their newest game. I was really surprised by the quality of the puzzles—it felt like a game that was at least 2–3 years old. Finally, I tripped over a piece of the escape room’s structure. Be careful. There were two of us playing the game, and it was pretty cramped. And with just two people, it’s a bit intense. I’d suggest at least three people, but you’ll be packed in tight (due to lack of space).

Another high-quality game from Paradox 42. Their strength: the originality of the puzzles! The only slight downside is that the game is "programmed" to ensure you finish it. It automatically skips puzzles based on the time remaining. In our case, we were told that one had been skipped for us. We asked to see the puzzle in question. In our opinion, we would have been able to solve it. I don’t know if the automation system can be adjusted at the start if you specify this to the GM, but it’s something I would have liked to know.

I think our experience would have been better with a more attentive GM. There were two of us playing the game. We knew it might be a struggle, so we told the person who greeted us that our goal was to finish it. He said he’d take that into account and that everything should go smoothly. Things were going well, until I asked for help and no one answered me. No sound, no video. Very disappointing! This was my second time at “À Double Tour,” and nothing makes me want to go back because of the GMs’ general lack of attention. Otherwise, the game itself was okay. A small group is recommended given the limited space in some rooms.

After reading the reviews, I didn’t really have high expectations for this room. I was pleasantly surprised. They’ve done a great job of making the most of the rather limited space. There are plenty of puzzles, but don’t go with more than four people. It gets pretty cramped. Ideally, three people would be comfortable. The fact that there are a limited number of clues is disappointing. We didn’t need more, because this wasn’t our first escape room, but it could be a disappointing experience for people playing an escape room for the first time.
