La Citadelle has created a new escape game for you!
New story, new settings, new puzzles, and new intrigues!
Citadel Under Siege!
After six seasons of The Affair of the Poisons and 4,500 participants, La Citadelle de Besançon will offer a new theme for its escape game starting in summer 2025. The space will be completely redesigned with new decor, a new theme, and new puzzles!
Early 18th century. We are in the midst of the War of Spanish Succession. Louis XIV's kingdom is under threat from all sides. Enemies are approaching, and the citadel must prepare for siege.
You have very little time to gather the necessary resources. With careful thought, a keen eye, and skill, you will be able to find all the equipment you need to resist the attack. The governor will come to check everything in an hour, so be ready for inspection!
Like many other Vauban fortresses, the citadel of Besançon had to be able to withstand a siege lasting at least three months. To this end, the stronghold was equipped with all the necessary facilities and supplies: drinking water cisterns, a mill and bakery, powder magazines, an arsenal, and more. This new escape game invites you to step into the shoes of a garrison on high alert.
Two versions of the escape game are available:
Adult sessions (suitable for children aged 12 and over accompanied by two adults).
Children's sessions (aged 8 to 12) and family sessions.
