The case Beneath the cobblestones of Paris lies the City of Martyrs, an underground city full of dark secrets. It is in the heart of this buried city that Adèle, the governor's daughter, mysteriously disappeared. Seen a few days ago in the company of Martin Joly, better known as the taxidermist, no one has heard from her since, she has disappeared. The governor promises a reward to those who find his daughter. Prime Suspect Your mission will be to descend 30 meters under Paris, in the City of Martyrs, in order to go to the Taxidermy shop and pretend to be buyers. You will have to find a way to find yourself alone in the store to explore it thoroughly in the hope of solving the mysteries of this disappearance and finding Adèle.

We ended up playing the Ultimate Experience while here on an escape room tour of Paris. Wholeheartedly recommend that strategy. The story thread through all three games was easy to follow. A must play in Paris. It’s hard for me to say which of the three I liked best, will have to think about. Play all three though.

Le Taxidermiste is simply breathtaking. I was emotionally invested in the story from start to finish and went through such a wide range of emotions. Not all escape rooms manage to achieve this. The City of Martyrs, the game's narrative, the set design, the effects, the costumes, and the actors' performances were all magnificent. I wish I could go back and relive this experience! Luckily, I got a poster of The Taxidermist to take home (you can buy all sorts of merch on-site!), so I have something to reminisce about one of my absolute favourite escape rooms <3

A beautifully crafted game, with an unforgettable cinematic scene, and a very fun live interaction mid-way. While some aspects are more classical, others are striking.

“The Taxidermist” within Deep Inside’s “City of Martyrs” is a masterpiece. From beautifully crafted set pieces, to stunning costumes, and an emotionally crafted story, it is easy to see why TERPECA rated this room #12 in the world. We had a really fun time engaging with the puzzles and story of this room, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. I look forward to trying Deep Inside’s other adventures upon return. The room flowed well, had creative, interactive, and straight up fun puzzles to engage with. The staff were absolutely wonderful and did a great job leading us through the experience.

Taxidermist was a beautiful room! From we opened the door, we got dragged into the world that they have made, and after we got to The City of Martyrs, we were already invested. We ended up spending a few hours in this city, and it feels alive, in more ways than one. The Taxidermist starts beautiful great, have good actor interactions, fun puzzles, and a great story. One segment in the game just had me grinning for the whole duration. The attention to detail is superb, and I loved every second of it.
