And among the adventures on offer, one in particular caught our eye: The Joker - Jokes on you! Here's the pitch for this room:"The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime, has decided to give you the scoop of the year with an exclusive interview from Arkham Asylum. Far from Batman's discretion, The Joker loves the limelight. Gotham City reporters are invited to attend this event, but beware, anything can happen with The Joker at the helm! Can you play by his rules? Climb aboard the train to join him and get your exclusive interview. The scoop is at the end of the tunnel".

Our test of The Joker - Jokes on you at Batman Escape:

This room was previewed by the editorial team. And we're not going to lie, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the experience, both in its scenario and in its settings, puzzles and the presence of actors. It all begins upstairs, where our group is given a mission: to interview the Joker in the heart ofArkham Asylum. Equipped with badges from the Daily Planet for which we work, we're escorted into the subway, a secure path having been set up to get us there. But as you can imagine, not everything goes according to plan...

Without spoilers, we find ourselves facing Harley Quinn, who will challenge us through a series of mini-games, the first part of which is a bit like an action game. As far as mini-games go, it's pretty eclectic: some are relatively easy to access, while others are more complex to complete. But don't expect to do them all, as you won't have the time, the idea being that you'll come back to experience the rest of the challenges. Special mention must be made of the actress playing Harley Quinn, who won't hesitate to distract you as much as possible during this first part.

Then the second part of the experience begins, much more akin to anescape game: excavations, riddles... Everything is covered, and you'll need to help each other - both within your group and with other groups accompanying you - to succeed in this adventure. It's fun, accessible to youngsters, and the settings are particularly well realized. The experience even has the luxury of being dynamic from start to finish, leaving you no time to catch your breath.

In short, we loved it, and can't wait to discover the other two rooms, featuring the Batcave and theMystery Man.
