La Cathédrale Oubliée [The Forgotten Cathedral]

Production quality was amazing, as is typical with Escaparium. I feel like I would have appreciated it more if I hadn't just come from a trip around Netherlands/Belgium, where many of the rooms had a similar theme to them. But objectively, it was a well done room. Most of the puzzles were different and purposeful, the story was well maintained throughout the game, but our objective got a little lost as we played.

A beautifully choreographed game with fun acting, compelling storylines and an epic set design Escaparium are experts in creating fully rounded games that harmonise plot development and puzzle solving

We had a slow start due to some glitchy tech, but then everything went super smoothly to the end. There were many cool effects that fit perfectly into the story, and didn’t feel like gimmicks. The set was so beautiful and detailed. The puzzles were on theme, with some good collaborative puzzles as well. And so many small details that really pushed this one from good to great for me.

Sans aucun doute le meilleur jeu d'évasion que j'ai fait

In terms of sheer spectacle, cinematic immersion, and intensity, this room is out of this world (I actually think it has a slight edge on Magnifico, which is also wonderful, but somewhat weaker on the puzzle side). My sense of Escaparium, having done several rooms, is that puzzles take a bit of a back seat to production, but when the production is this amazing, who’s really complaining?

Simply excellent. GREAT story - I was immmersed the whole time. Great use of space. Loved the 4th wall break to view the workshop. All details were thought of (though some objects you need to see from a distance could be gently backlit to help us older players with weaker eyesight out?)

The set is obviously the star of the show, and it's quite impressive. Puzzles fit into the world pretty well, and the opening sequence quickly draws players into the story in a memorable fashion while establishing the stakes. Having said that, I had a big problem with the game's audio. Like in Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen, I frequently had a hard time clearly making out what the off-set characters were saying, which made it harder to follow the plot and broke me out of immersion. Also, the set, while astonishing, didn't quite click in a way I can't put my finger on. Maybe it was in a weird space between being a very good imitation of a cathedral while still clearly being an imitation of a cathedral - it was good enough to mostly make me suspend disbelief, but not quite good enough to finish the job.

This was a true escape room experience with full immersion and had Amazing set and style. The puzzles were inventive yet very doable. Visual effects were awesome.

Words don’t do justice. All I can say is wow. That’s the review, go do it.

Immersive experience where you follow a "guide". Spooky ambience but very fun. We were 8 people (max allowed in the room) and I still enjoyed it.
