A masterpiece in storytelling and it really comes alive with the cut scenes and actor interactions. Beautifully decorated and some nice transitions. A game I would definitely recommend.
Absolutely amazing. We had a couple of tiny flow issues but definitely an UNMISSABLE room. Lightning, acting, storyline. Incredible escape company.
Actors, set design, performance, soundtrack all excellent, a true experience. I can’t stop thinking about it! If you are anywhere near Paris go & play, well worth the price, can’t wait to see what else this company brings out.
It’s definitely taken a spot in my top 3
A really story driven experience with some nice acting moments and transitions. Some areas were decorated really well while others felt a little underdeveloped. The set was on a smaller scale compared to other terpeca level experiences but there were some nice special/environmental effects in one area.

If you’re looking for a big puzzle fest, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for an epic immersive experience that is set in a beautiful world, AND has puzzles, then this is the game for you. I can see why this game is so well liked, and as the French would say it’s ‘tres magnifique’.
Introduction
Hidden behind the storefront of a Parisian bookstore lies an experience that feels more like stepping into a cinematic dream than an escape room. As soon as the door closed behind us, we were not just players—we became part of a living story.
Story & Emotion
The emotional weight of The Taxidermist is what stayed with me most. From the very beginning, the narrative gently led us into its world, unfolding in a way that was easy to follow yet deeply layered. What resonated most was the message: never judge a book by its cover. That thought still lingers in my mind long after leaving.
The storytelling came through in multiple ways—dialogue, environments, objects—and managed to draw us in completely. I left feeling like I had truly understood the complete journey. The final moments were especially powerful to me and unexpectedly moving—yes, I had tears in my eyes by the end.
Set & Atmosphere
The environment was immersive from start to finish. Whether it was the small details or the the overall design we navigated through, it felt carefully thought out. Sound, light, and even scent created a world that felt both alive and mysterious. It’s not the biggest set we’ve seen, but it didn’t need to be—the world felt real and complete.
