How do I book a wine escape game?
To book a wine escape game, go straight to the Book section of our website, or call us on 06 31 82 43 66.
How many people can play the wine escape game?
In a classic wine escape game, the minimum number of participants is two and the maximum is six. Beyond that, it becomes a wine escape game as a team challenge.
How does the wine escape game work as a team challenge?
The team challenge uses the same puzzles as the classic wine escape game. Only the organisation changes: we form several teams depending on the number of participants, and a points system is added to the puzzles you have to solve. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the first to try the combination of the padlock on the final chest, which holds the wine secret of the Cap de Mourlin family. You then enjoy a guided tasting of red wines from Saint-Émilion Grand Cru and Grand Cru Classé, paired with artisan chocolates.
Which should I choose: the family, classic or team challenge wine escape game?
The family wine escape game is for groups made up of adults and young children. It includes puzzles for adults as well as puzzles and rooms that younger children can enjoy, so the whole family has fun, with puzzles at everyone’s level.
The classic wine escape game is for adults and older teenagers, with a maximum of six participants.
Beyond six people, it becomes a wine escape game as a team challenge. It is designed for large groups and suits your company events very well: team building, seminars, or for individuals, hen and stag parties for example.
Can the wine escape game be privatised?
A classic wine escape game can host up to 6 people. We usually mix groups to encourage conviviality and exchange. However, for 5 participants or more, the escape game slot is private to the group that booked. In addition, for team challenge wine escape games (more than six participants), the chosen slot is automatically private.
Do I need to know about wine to take part in this wine escape game?
No wine knowledge is needed to take part in a wine escape game. On the contrary, this game will help you get familiar with the world of wine by learning, in a fun and educational way, the different stages of red wine tasting, which are themed in the escape game.
Can I play the wine escape game if I don’t drink alcohol?
Absolutely. During the escape game you do not have to drink any wine: the red wine tasting only takes place after the hour of play. During this tasting, if there are children or people who do not drink alcohol, syrups mixed with water are offered with artisan chocolates.
How much does Escape Wine cost?
The price of the wine escape game in Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion depends on the number of participants. The more of you there are, the lower the price per person. For 4 participants, count €29 per person. All prices are listed on this page.
What do the children do during the wine introduction after the escape game?
During the introduction to wine tasting after the hour of escape game, children and people who are not tasting wine can drink syrups mixed with water and taste artisan chocolate.
Do children get grape juice instead of the wine tasting after the escape game?
Children get neither wine nor grape juice during the wine tasting that follows the escape game. Instead, we offer syrups mixed with water, with aromas typical of Bordeaux grape varieties, as well as artisan chocolates.
How do you succeed at an escape game?
To succeed at the wine escape game, communicate well by working as a team and sharing information and ideas. Pay attention to details and look closely at the room or the game environment. Look for hidden objects, concealed messages and visual, audio or tactile clues. Use a logical, methodical approach to solve the puzzles and break them down into smaller tasks. Think creatively, think outside the box and consider every possibility for solving the challenges you face.
