Live Cinema: this 550 m² escape game in Paris turns you into an action movie hero for 2 hours.

For some ten years now, theescape game concept has been making its mark in the capital. To satisfy Parisians thirsting for thrills, increasingly advanced concepts are being developed in every corner of the city. The latest? Live Cinema, halfway between escape game and immersive theater, transports you into a spectacular setting for 2 hours.

Live Cinema: Zone 51, the escape game that pushes the limits

It’s undoubtedly one of the craziest experiences ever offered in Paris. Since March 9, Parisian escape game specialist Lock Academy has been offering you the chance to take part in its brand new course: Live Cinema: Zone 51. This unique challenge features no fewer than 25 rooms spread over 550 m².

All your skills will be put to the test as you attempt to unlock mankind’s greatest secret. This extraordinary adventure takes place in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, at 226, rue Saint Denis. From the very first minutes, you’ll know you’ve entered a whole new dimension of gaming.

A mission worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster

Have you always dreamed of becoming Tom Cruise and embarking on an impossible mission with breathtaking scenery? Now you can, without even leaving Paris. Head for the 2nd arrondissement to experience the adventure of a lifetime.

“What starts out as a simple cinema session very quickly propels you into the heart of a blockbuster from which no one will leave indifferent.”

For 2 hours, you’re in total immersion with a very simple goal. You must leave the capital to reach the mythical American military base. This area, whose history is steeped in legends of UFOs and aliens, becomes your final destination.

Backdrops of exceptional cinematic quality

One thing’s for sure: a whole new level of immersive experience awaits you. Surrounded by actors and stunning technologies, you become the hero of the film. What’s more, each room offers a striking realism that makes you forget you’re in Paris.

• An abandoned subway station
• The seat of American government
• A prison of disturbing details
• A control room with ventilation ducts
• A secret laboratory with futuristic allure

You’re transported from room to room, corridor to corridor, through ever more stunning settings. Every space has been designed to reinforce the feeling of being elsewhere. The result is total immersion from start to finish.

Actors will be on hand to help you along the way. On the other hand, some of them may also get in your way. This duality adds a constant tension to your progress.

An escape game for the mind and body

To avoid the worst, you’ll have to search for clues and solve puzzles. You’ll also have to hide, run and move objects. In short, your mental skills will be put to the test, as will your physical condition.

This hybrid format between escape game and theatrical performance transforms each participant into the actor of his or her own story. Traditional escape games now seem quite timid in the face of this bold proposal. The level of commitment required goes far beyond what we’re used to.
