Synopsis of Crypte at L'Antichambre:

"Centuries ago, Saint Apolline was burned alive for her faith. Legend has it that on the eve of her death, she had visions which she recorded on a parchment. Now kept in a dark crypt, this parchment is the object of much covetousness. The Church is desperate to get its hands on it, and is sending you on this mission. Will you be quick and cunning enough to recover the parchment before the guards return?".

Our test of Crypte chez l'Antichambre:

A room the editors have tested... The aim: find the parchment of Saint Apolline in various parts of a crypt where the saint was buried and walled up. The puzzles in this room are pretty cool, sometimes vicious (you have to break your head from time to time) but always well thought-out and delicious. Like any other escape game, you'll also have to unlock padlocks to release clues.

Of course, you'll need to be ingenious and, above all, have good hand-head coordination to unlock all the crypt's secrets... Helping each other is also essential. We managed to get out in 45 minutes... Here's hoping you do better.
