Montpellier: Magic Escape Game Room for Families & Kids

Summary

Magic puzzles and laughter in montpellier’s school of wizardry

You’ll step into a fantasy world inside Montpellier’s magic escape room—solving clues with your family or friends as laughter bounces off the walls. Expect hands-on puzzles, gentle guidance from your local host, and moments where everyone gets caught up in the story. It’s playful, sometimes silly, and surprisingly memorable—especially when someone finally cracks that last riddle.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing that hit me was the smell — sort of old books and something sweet, maybe vanilla? My niece squeezed my hand so tight when the door closed behind us. I’d promised her a “Harry Potter day” in Montpellier, but honestly, I had no idea what to expect from this escape game. Our host, Jules (who had a wand tucked into his belt — not kidding), grinned and told us we’d need “teamwork and just a pinch of mischief.” He winked at me like he knew I’d be the one to mess up the spells.

We shuffled around the room trying to figure out the first clue, whispering guesses and getting louder when someone spotted something weird on the wall. At one point, my nephew tried to say a spell in French — it came out all wrong and Jules laughed so hard he almost dropped his clipboard. There was this moment where we were all silent, listening for a click or some kind of sign that we’d solved it. You could hear rain tapping outside but inside it felt like time slowed down. The magic escape game really does pull you in — even if you’re not a Harry Potter superfan.

I didn’t expect to get so into it. There’s something about hunting for clues with kids (and failing spectacularly at some) that makes you forget you’re just in Montpellier, not some castle. The puzzles aren’t impossible but they make you think sideways, which is trickier than I thought with little ones shouting ideas every two seconds. It’s private too — just our group bumbling along together. And yeah, my niece still talks about how she “saved us from Voldemort,” even though I’m pretty sure Jules nudged her toward the answer.
