Complot aux Arènes

The Plot That Threatens Nemausus

You are immersed in the excitement of an evening of ancient spectacle. The crowd is buzzing, torches crackle, and cheers echo from the stands. As a member of the Nemausus Magistrate’s elite guard, your mission is to ensure his safety and the smooth running of the festivities. You slip behind the scenes of the Arena, where the battle is being prepared. All around you, snippets of conversation catch your attention and seem to foreshadow a night of high tension. Will you be able to listen, observe, and foil the plot? For one evening, visitors become the protagonists of a captivating adventure, where every detail counts in unraveling what is being plotted.

TEASER FOR “THE CONSPIRACY AT THE ARENA”

The Concept

This life-size audio game offers an immersive audio experience centered on a historical investigation designed for teams. With headphones on and a tablet in hand, participants must pay attention to the voices around them, compare their impressions, and share their discoveries to move forward. The experience is available only in the evening, on select exclusive dates.

A cross between an escape game and a mystery game, this unique experience combines:

  • Narrative audio segments that immediately immerse players in a historical story.
  • A timed, multi-stage scavenger hunt in which each team moves forward based on clues gathered by its members.
  • A group finale, in which participants must pool everything they’ve learned to discover how the story ends.
