Majestic Paris opened its 4th room this year, on the theme of science fiction, in an immersive universe and a very well-crafted scenario. After “Titanic”, “Atlantis”, “Oggy and the Cockroaches”, here is “Mission Galactique”, which takes us to a futuristic planet, where the people are placed under the yoke of the Consortium. The players are freedmen on a mission to destroy this enemy ship. Each with an electronic card in hand, as a wallet and identity number. Objective: earn money to buy objects that will help us move forward.
Majestic Paris has removed the screen on which the time allotted to the game scrolls (1h15 here compared to 1 hour in the majority of escape games). It was one of the first, 8 years ago, to remove the padlocks from its puzzles. Today, gone are the stopwatch and the voice of the game master whispering clues into a microphone. “We feel that the public today wants to live an experience more than to hurry to solve puzzles,” explain Rémi Prieur and Benjamin Bouwyn, the creators of the place.
The sets are impressively realistic
We start in a room equipped with a robot, screens, posters written in an alien language. We will have to walk on all fours a bit, blow up a door, buy and sell defective objects, know how to translate this strange language. Will we dare to buy candy, will we succeed in finding the right combinations in the spaceship or in turning on a robot?
The sets are excellent in intergalactic realism. Even those who are not fans of science fiction will get into the game. The puzzles are not that difficult, we spend a great time sharing the tasks, jumping at a few surprises, and marveling at the ingenuity of the creators. An original and amazing new 2024 game.
“Galactic”, at Majestic Paris2, rue Française (2nd), next to Les Halles. From 35 euros per player.
