You’ll feel your heart race as you try to outwit the guard and erase every trace of your escape attempt inside Montpellier’s immersive prison break escape room game. Solve clues together, laugh over mistakes, and experience real tension as time runs out—with a local guide running the show and free phone charging included.
Hands cuffed behind my back (plastic, but still), I shuffled into this “cell” with my friends, and someone slammed the door shut. The clang echoed a bit too realistically. Our guide—he called himself “the Warden” with a smirk—handed us our first clue, then vanished. It was weird how fast we all got quiet, like we were actually waiting for footsteps in the hall. I could smell that faint tang of metal and something like old paper. You know that feeling when you realize you’re not as clever as you thought? That hit me about five minutes in.
We argued over a code scrawled on the wall—Mathilde insisted it was her birthday, which would have been way too easy. There was this moment when Li tried to whisper directions in French (I definitely misunderstood most of them), and we all started laughing so hard we almost forgot about the timer ticking down. The pressure builds up fast; every time someone solved something, it felt like we’d just dodged a real guard’s patrol. I kept glancing at that red digital clock above the door, counting down faster than I liked.
I didn’t expect to care if we “got caught,” but by the last few minutes my hands were shaking a bit—adrenaline or maybe just nerves. We managed to erase our escape tracks (well, mostly) just before our guide reappeared with this mock-serious glare. He let us charge our phones for free while he told stories about other teams who’d panicked way earlier than us. Walking out into Montpellier’s sunlight felt strange after being “locked up”—I still think about that echoing clang sometimes.
