A booming trend
Located in the heart of Brittany, the company Chateaubriand Cruises was able to take advantage of the growing enthusiasm for escape games. These escape games, which immerse participants in captivating adventures, have become an essential activity for thrill-seekers. At La Richardais, near the Rance dam, these games attract an increasingly large audience, eager to take on group challenges.
A fun and engaging concept
The principle of escape games is relatively simple. In groups, players are locked in a room where they must solve puzzles to achieve an objective. According to Eric Onnée, responsible for games within the company, “the goal is to discover a treasure”. Each session offers total immersion in a maritime story inspired by local events, such as the sinking of the Hilda.
Unique and artisanal rooms
Croisières Chateaubriand offers three carefully designed indoor rooms, as well as an outdoor game that returns every spring. One of the major attractions lies in the fact that all the decorative elements are made House. Eric Onnée collects objects and creates original puzzles that immerse players in the marine atmosphere of the region. “Here, everything is homemade,” he says, thus indicating the authenticity and unique character of the games offered.
The Bric-à-Brac show: a welcome novelty
Among the innovations, the show Bric-a-Brac was introduced, offering an extended version of the escapades, offering a total of 90 minutes to solve the puzzles. This variation allows players to fully appreciate the setting and immerse themselves in the story. Eric Onnée notes the enthusiasm of visitors: “This allows you to be less pressed for time and to observe the many objects that adorn the room.”
A success confirmed by feedback
Player feedback is invariably positive. On online review platforms, participants often talk about the ingenuity of the puzzles, the quality of the settings and the fun nature of the experience. Additionally, the appeal of escape games continues to grow, attracting a wider audience. THE Chateaubriand Cruises have managed to carve out a place of choice in the leisure landscape in Brittany.
