We did this for my son's 8th birthday, with three groups of three children all working on the puzzles at the same time. It took around 15 minutes for the first group to finish, but they did have some help with the clues.

Franchement c'est super bien fait et c'est une trop bonne idée, qui change des annonces classiques.
Super concept qui change pour annoncer le sexe du bébé. Plusieurs énigmes avec des indices au besoin. Chez nous tout le monde s’est prêté au jeu et a aimé ce format. Laureen est à l’écoute et très réactive en cas de problème. Je recommande ce produit
Parfait ! Les enfants ont adoré
Article conforme et qui a fait très plaisir à Noël !
Jeu très sympa, certaines parties demandent une grande réflexion. Pour information, il y a juste une petite erreur sur le prospectus de la fraude au vin mais on comprend quand même.
Très belle surprise pour mes amis, l’escape game était une réussite
Super idée ! Très bon concept ! Je recommande
