Here are some services we can offer
Below you will find answers to our most frequently asked questions, sorted by theme.
Yes…and no. Live Cinema is a Story Room: escape game mixed with immersive theater. An experience in which the story is the central element.
What’s it like? 120 minutes of gameplay, several actors who will interact with you, 550 m2 of play space, 25 different rooms, wow effects every 5 minutes, and sets like you’ve never seen before.
But more than that, Live Cinema is an ambition and a totally brand-new concept: letting you live a film in which you are the hero.
You start in a cinema room, and you’ll finish in a cinema room. But in between, for 120 minutes, you’ll be plunged into the heart of the film: a blockbuster, kind of like Mission Impossible, except the team accompanying Ethan Hunt is yours!
The first film offered by Live Cinema is called Zone 51.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: manage to infiltrate the most secret and most secure base in the world, to get your hands on a mystery that could change the course of humanity.
We offer you the chance to live a story in which you are the hero. Whatever your team’s level, you are guaranteed to experience the story in its entirety. After all, would you want to watch an incredible film if the last 20 minutes had been cut in editing?
In our experience, the difficulty adapts in real time depending on players’ progress. Whether you’re escape game beginners or experts, we guarantee a 100% level-appropriate experience. Not too hard, not too easy. Just right!
The minimum age to play is 15.
Live Cinema reserves the right to refuse access to the session in the event of non-compliance with the rules in force.
Our first film, Zone 51, can be played in teams of 3 to 6 players.
To guarantee total immersion and real gameplay intensity, it will not be possible to come as 7 to play a single session.
If you are 7 or more, you can however book multiple time slots directly on our booking platform. We therefore invite you to split into two teams of 3 and 4: immersion will be guaranteed and your experience will only be better!
Payment is made directly online on our secure platform by credit card (except American Express)
Of course!
If you book a mission in 10 days or more, it’s possible to split the payment between participants! Just choose the “Split payment” option and pay a first share. You will then have 24 hours for all participants to pay their share and definitively confirm the booking.
If the total amount is not reached within 24 hours, the booking will be cancelled and a credit note automatically sent to all participants who paid their share.
No, all bookings are made exclusively online on our website.
Tickets are not named, so you can find a “replacement” up until the day! However, no refund or voucher can be issued.
We are located at 226 rue Saint-Denis in Paris’ 2nd arrondissement.
Coming by metro?
Strasbourg St-Denis station (lines 2-8-9), 100m away.
Réaumur Sebastopol station (lines 3-4), 200m away
Coming by car?
We strongly recommend using a parking space, as it’s difficult to park in the area!
On the day, don’t be early and don’t be late… just like at the cinema!
At Live Cinema, there’s no need to arrive too early on the day of your session—we’ll be expecting you right on time! At the same time, please do not arrive late, as any delay will unfortunately impact the duration of your session, or even result in its cancellation.
Plan for approximately 2.5 hours (150 minutes) on site.
The session is broken down as follows:
– 120 minutes of gameplay
– 30 minutes of welcome and debrief
The experience was designed to be suitable for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users so they can enjoy the highest-quality experience possible.
However, some adjustments are necessary ahead of your session. You are therefore asked to call us or send us an email before making your booking, so we can define everything that needs adapting, depending on your disability.
Throughout the experience, an actor will accompany you and serve as the guiding thread of the story in which you are the hero. This actor is not trained in sign language.
It is therefore essential that your team always includes at least one player who is not in a situation of hearing impairment.
Unfortunately, our experience is not currently suitable for a team made up of visually impaired people.
Zone 51 is strongly not recommended for pregnant women. At certain moments, the experience requires climbing or squeezing through tight spaces, which poses a risk for a pregnant woman.
Yes, you can use our sets to shoot a YouTube video, music video, film, series, documentary, photo shoot… To do so, you can contact us directly via our contact form. We will then get back to you within 24 hours to define your needs together.
