How to choose the best Escape Games from Tactisens ?
What is Windar Theory Escape Game?
You’ll have to break into Dr Windar’s bunker to achieve a very special mission and attempt to save humanity.
From 3 to 6 people per team, and up to 12 people in Duel Mode (assuming you’re willing to go head-to-head in our Escape Game duplicated in two identical rooms).
In immersive settings, you’ll have 60 minutes to solve puzzles, discover secret passages, operate unusual mechanisms and complete your mission.
Throughout your adventure, a Game Master will monitor your progress and provide clues.
No specific knowledge is required to participate in our Escape Rooms. The skills we expect are communication, searching and cooperation.
The total duration of the session is around 1h30, divided into 3 stages:
Welcome / Briefing: 15 minutes
Duration of your Escape Game mission: 60 minutes maximum
Debriefing + souvenir photo: 15 minutes
What is the “Sensorial Adventure “?
You’re about to take part in the strange scientific experiments on the senses created by the famous Dr Windar. In his 100m² protocol, you’ll have to use your 5 main senses, and probably more, to complete all the tests and pass through the 5 rooms he’s prepared for you.
From 4 to 10 people per team. No specific knowledge is required to take part, just good cohesion and communication.
The total duration of the session is around 1h45, divided into 3 stages:
Welcome – Briefing: 15 minutes
Mission duration: 75 minutes maximum
Debriefing + Souvenir photo: 15 minutes
Is The Sensorial Adventure an Escape Game?
Yes, the Sensorial Adventure is an Escape Game, but it’s offbeat, original and atypical.
The main differences from a classic Escape Game are as follows: in the Sensorial Adventure, you’ll evolve in a much larger space than in most classic Escape Games.
In a classic Escape Game, you can get stuck if you can’t solve an enigma, or you might not finish the room in time. Not so with Sensory Adventure! You’ll complete the whole course anyway, only your score will change.
As a result, the Sensory Adventure is a friendlier, more fun Escape Game in which there’s more sharing and exchange in the team, which can be up to 10 participants.
The aim is to complete 100% of the trials in the shortest time possible!
For those who like a challenge, there are records to beat…
Also, unlike a classic Escape Game, each of the events in the Sensorial Adventure has a time limit, and you’ll be in constant contact with Dr Windar and your Game Master.
So, if you want to discover a unique and innovative Escape Game, Sensory Adventure is for you.

During our offbeat Escape Game, the Sensorial Adventure, if it’s really necessary, you can go outside to use the toilet and join your team-mates afterwards.
But during the Windar Theory Escape Game, leaving the room would mean the end of the game for you. Please also note that although our missions have no scary elements, they do have some surprises for you.

You can choose several sessions if you are a large group or if you want to try out our two games!
To play our Windar Theory Escape Game in duel mode, choose the same time slot in the 2 “Windar Theory” columns.
For the Sensory Adventure, if you’re more than 10 people, you’ll need to make 2 teams: choose 2 slots that are as close together as possible, finalise your booking, then contact us via the form on our website so that we can arrange for your 2 teams to play with as little waiting time as possible between your 2 sessions (around 20 minutes).
Finally, to confirm your booking, simply pay online.
May I cancel my booking ?
Unfortunately not, as Escape Game services are leisure activities provided on a fixed date, no right of withdrawal will be possible under article 121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code. Consequently, no reservation can be cancelled or refunded. However, rest assured that it is possible to postpone the booking to a later date. In this case, Tactisens will give you a credit note for an advantageous period of 18 months. But if you miss the deadline, charges may apply.
In the event of cancellation on the day itself, or failure to show up on time, no refund or credit note will be issued.
For full details, please consult our General Terms and Conditions (article 7 or article 9 for professionals).
Not quite sure of the exact number of participants? Here’s some good advice:
Book and pay online for the number you are fairly sure of. Then contact us no later than the day before you are due to come, to let us know the final number of participants.

What time should we arrive?
The time of your reservation is the time at which we will open you the door of Tactisens. Your entire team must therefore arrive at the exact time you booked your Escape Game. Neither early nor late. Make sure you read all the details in the booking confirmation email (it’s not the same as the payment confirmation)!
You will be greeted by a Game Master who will give you all the instructions you need to carry out your Escape Game missions.
What happens if we’re late ?
Unfortunately, if you’re more than 15 minutes late, it’s no longer worth starting an Escape Game, and your booking will be considered void and cannot be refunded. This is because a team is playing after you, and the Escape Game room requires preparation between each session. So we recommend that you arrive on time!
However, if you still wish to play, please note that the time you are allowed to play will be shortened by the amount of time you are late. Please note that there will be no reduction on the price you paid.
You’re accompanying a team, but you’re not playing ?
If you would like to accompany a team for an Escape Game at Tactisens, but you don’t want to play, you can’t stay on our premises. Our reception areas are dedicated to briefings and debriefings and are not waiting rooms.
Is it possible to customise enigmas for a special event ?
If you’re booking the Sensorial Adventure for a special event, send us an email with details of the person in honour. On the day of the event, your Game Master will do everything he can to personalise your game as much as possible.
