The Door – escape game in Romandy, Switzerland with family

An Adventure to Experience as a Team

The Door is the escape game that makes you want to play together. Immersive atmosphere, well-crafted decor, varied scenarios: everything is designed to make you talk, search, and celebrate every little victory as a family.

What Your Children Will Discover

Children love to search, observe, and test ideas. Here, they will:

• Decode clues and open ingenious mechanisms
• Learn to communicate and organize
• Manage the passing time and keep their calm
• Feel the satisfaction of solving a puzzle as a team

It's playful, sensory, and very lively. The younger ones enjoy the "mission" aspect, while the older ones appreciate the logic and cooperation. You get to enjoy watching them gain confidence.

How It Works

You book a time slot, arrive a little early, and a game master briefs you. Once in the room, you generally have 60 minutes to solve the investigation. The game master follows you from a distance and sends you clues if needed. At the end of the game, there's a brief debrief to relive the best moments.

• Recommended age: from 8 years old if you play as a family (with at least one adult). Teens can aim for more challenging scenarios.
• Duration: plan for a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes including welcome, game (about 60 min), and debrief.
• Type of activity: calm and immersive, focused on reflection, communication, and a bit of fine motor skills.
• Reservation: generally required, online. Time slots fill up quickly on weekends.
• Pricing: per room or per person depending on the scenario; prices vary by day and time.
• Accessibility: indoor activity. Strollers are left at the reception; some rooms may have stairs or narrow spaces.
• Public transport: generally located in the city center or near well-served stops.
• Car: paid public parking nearby most of the time.
• What to bring: comfortable clothing, flat shoes, a water bottle for afterwards. No personal items needed in the room.
• Safety: accessible exits, supervision by the game master, doors not "locked" in the strict sense; you can exit at any time.
• Best season: all year round, perfect for unpredictable weather or at the end of the day.

In terms of learning, it's a condensed mix of collaboration, logic, creativity, listening, and emotional management. Children take initiatives, learn to distribute roles, and dare to propose ideas.

Before You Go

Choose a scenario suitable for the children's age and the size of your team. "Introductory" or "family" rooms are ideal for a first time. Check the language of the puzzles (French/English) and any contraindications (dark spaces, sound effects).

Parent Tips

• Book early for Saturday slots.
• Arrive 10 minutes early to avoid stress.
• Form a team of 3 to 5 players for good dynamics.
• Give simple roles to the children: clue reader, seeker, timer.
• Start with an "easy" scenario for the pleasure of succeeding.
• Plan a snack afterwards: they will have a lot to share.
• Check the language of the game and the level of fright if your children are sensitive.
