We played Nautilus shortly after landing in Paris on an overnight flight. Sleep is recommended haha. Beautiful set, some puzzles could have used more feedback but overall a well done room.

À la mort de son père, professeur au Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Paris et soit disant biographe du capitaine Nemo, Louis Aronnax fait un précieux héritage. Il se voit remettre le manuscrit original de la célèbre relation de voyage “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”, annoté et raturé. Grand sceptique de l’histoire racontée par son père, il découvre néanmoins par hasard, dissimulé à l’intérieur, un plan du Nautilus : le légendaire submersible. Au dos, de mystérieuses coordonnées semblent conduire vers une île n’étant répertoriée sur aucune carte et perdue au beau milieu de l’Atlantique sud. Persuadé de pouvoir retrouver ainsi le Nautilus et bien décidé à confronter le mythe à la réalité, il s’empresse de monter une expédition.Un armateur répond à son annonce en lui proposant navire et équipage. Son étonnante connaissance des fonds marins finit de convaincre Louis, qui accepte, puis complète l’expédition avec une équipe d’explorateurs aguerris, la vôtre. Après d’interminables journées en mer, une île mystérieuse apparaît à l’horizon…

This was a mixed bag of an experience. The set design is great. There is a lot to read, and that is always hard to pull off in a game like this. It worked decently, but I don't think everyone need to read everything. The more you read, the more of the story you follow along with, but it felt a bit too much. (The story is also not super interesting, and the few beats that are interesting, would be easy enough to distill) Some puzzles were fun, but a few were also a bit confusing, and especially the final puzzle was over almost before it started. I din enjoy my time here, and after hearing great stuff about their new experience Madness, I really want to go back and experience that.

We loved this game. Some of the steps weren’t logical or intuitive and we needed help several times. Overall the game and design was phenomenal and definitely worth doing.

This is hands down one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done. The immersion begins as you step into the escape room with one of the most unique entrances I’ve seen. The non-linear aspect of the puzzles means you really feel immersed in the atmosphere and the storyline.
Gameplay
Absolutely elite immersion and the non-linear style of puzzles means you really get taken in by the plot an story
Atmosphere
The attention to detail in the set design and size of the puzzles and props really sells the storyline and immersion

Incredible immersion, great puzzles, flow, and narrative. our GM Camille was excellent! In my top 10 of 55 rooms including around 10 TERPECA rooms. We liked it even better than Deep Inside’s Le Magicien
