But first, the pitch: Winter 1934. 11:42pm. The mythical Orient-Express continues its journey to Istanbul in luxury and calm. It's a night like any other, but suddenly a scream and a thud from Samuel Lioretti 's cabin break the silence of the night. He's dead! Murdered... But how can this be? His cabin is locked from the inside. You're the only passengers on this train - the murderer can only be one of you! You've got to prove your innocence and find out who's behind the murder before the police take over at your next stop.

A room which, as you'll understand, is a little more than an escape game, since your mission is to find Samuel Lioretti's murderer. A murderer who is obviously among your group of friends... And, as in any escape game, you have one hour to unmask the killer. An experience in which you'll have to make the right choices and, above all, not trust appearances.

And an experience we had the privilege of testing. Over and above the incomparable immersion, worthy of the best shops in Paris, the experience stands out for the fact that you play a character, with a past and objectives to fulfil throughout the adventure, making the immersion unique, bordering on the real.

It's an experience that should appeal to budding comedians and other theater enthusiasts, as it's so much fun to play as your character. The script is also very well written, with many unexpected twists and turns, and a reveal that should surprise more than one person at the end. A breathtaking investigation to be enjoyed with friends without the slightest hesitation. Perhaps even the best experience the editors have had so far... So, intrigued? Shall we make a reservation?
