Rarely has a game delivered so well on so many fronts: story, set, worldbuilding and puzzles – they were all great. The Taxidermist is a great game that managed to bring genuine emotion to our team on top of a truly fun experience.
Recommendations for the best games in the French capital, highlighting the games which excel with immersion, decoration and puzzles including recommendations for both families and scare enthusiasts.
A round-up of the second half of my Paris trip, including trips to One Hour, Hell Out, Pandora et Associés, Border Live, Deep Inside, You Have Sixty Minutes, Quest Factory. Plenty of reasons to visit the French capital with a full wrap up to come soon.
A round-up of two days of games in the French capital including all four games at Crack the Egg, “Alice” at Phobia, “Far West”, “Cinema” and “The Metro” at The Game, “The Deveaux Family” at Panik Rooms, “Titanic” at Majestic and “Chemical Hallucinations” at The One Escape.

One of the best games I’ve experienced. Over three hours of gorgeous set, interesting puzzles and an overarching narrative that flows through from their opening game. Go to Athens and play this game.
