Le Grand Hôtel De Paris

A classic but very effective escape room, with a few unique things, and a threat that was spooky without cheap horror jump scares (only entirely earned and efficient ones!)

What an experience! As we are still not very used to horror rooms, I was a bit afraid going in, but this was such a blast, from beginning to end. It is scary, but in a fun way, and never too much. I loved the beginning, I loved the set design, I loved the acting, I loved the puzzles, I loved almost every single moment of the experience. The end is fantastic as well. If you are new to horror, don't let that stop you from playing this game. It really showed me that horror can be something I love, and I truly loved this game!

The scariest thing either of us has ever done - relentless, well-crafted horror with great sets. As an escape room it's thinner: fear makes you slower at solving, and much of it plays out in the dark, so go for the horror, not the puzzles. Two of our group of four refused to even enter, for good reason.

Honestly, this is the best experience I have ever done. The production value was through the roof and it was truly scary and immersive. I don't want to spoil anything. There really are no words to describe it. My only caution is that is legit horror. If you don't like haunted houses, this might be a challenge. And last word of wisdom. Pay attention to everything. There are so many details that I think we missed and it was still amazing.

If you like horror, just book it.

This was a spooky room with similarities to games we’ve played in Athens. Set is very detailed and is utilized in puzzling and to create the spooky atmosphere. While the puzzling was not especially difficult, most of it was on theme. Actor interactions worked really well. Highly recommend this game.

Fantastic experience! The acting, set design, and atmosphere were all incredible! It was very scary, but the scares came very well timed and didn't interfere with our ability to do the puzzles. The tension was perfectly paced, with moments of laughter and relief.

Fantastic immersion and overall a very fun, scary experience. I would agree with the reviews that say to treat this more like a “haunted house” experience with less focus on the puzzles. I would also say YMMV as to the scary level- I played this with a friend I’ve done scary escapes with before and she ended up noping out at the beginning for this one! 👹 Pretty great actor appearances! I also liked the costuming. 📣 This one did feel a bit sensory overload at times (although I’m sure that’s on purpose). I would turn the volume down just a notch in certain situations were it up to me haha 🔦 Sometimes it was too damn dim!!! Again, probably on purpose lol 🚨 Mild spoiler / not so humble-brag Got the good ending. Whateva 😎

8.5/10 A masterclass in foreshadowing. Le Grand Hotel De Paris creates a magnificent maze of hallways and doors with exceptional execution of space manipulation. More theater than escape room but what puzzles you encounter are strong and well made. The One Escape balances their horror out with more creepy/staged cinematics rather than run and hide jump scares. I would highly recommend this as a great started for the first timers looking to dip their toes into the horror genre.

Intense game with great story and acting. Perfect for a couple to play. Must see when visiting Paris.
