Our outdoor escape games in Saint-Nazaire are designed to be accessible and offer excellent value. The price is €12 per team, regardless of the number of participants (typically 2 to 6 players). This means the cost per person decreases as your team grows, making the activity very economical for groups of friends or families.

We recommend a minimum age of around 8 years for children to fully participate in solving the puzzles, always accompanied by an adult.

What else to visit in Saint-Nazaire beyond escape games?

Saint-Nazaire is full of fascinating sites to explore. Don't miss the Espadon Submarine, a real submarine you can visit, and Escal'Atlantic, which immerses you in the history of transatlantic liners. The Seafront offers beautiful walks with views of the estuary. For architecture enthusiasts, the Penhoët district and the Chantiers de l'Atlantique are impressive. The Écomusée will enlighten you on the city's history. And of course, the Saint-Nazaire Bridge is an architectural marvel. The city offers a unique blend of industrial and maritime history.

What is the best season to visit Saint-Nazaire?

Saint-Nazaire is pleasant to visit all year round, but each season has its charm. Spring (April-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer mild temperatures and moderate tourist traffic, ideal for our treasure hunts. Summer (July-August) is perfect for enjoying the Seafront and beaches, but the city is more lively. Winter can be cooler and windier, but indoor sites like Escal'Atlantic remain very accessible. Our games are designed to be playable in various conditions, although dry weather is always more enjoyable!
