Cube: the escape game that tests your team
Cube is a Nancy escape game where you crack puzzles and hands-on challenges to break out of a room before the clock runs out. With its different worlds and a game master to guide you, it's a great shared activity for family or friends, whatever the weather outside.
How the game works
The idea is simple and gripping: your group is locked in a themed set and must work through clues, locks and mechanisms to escape before time runs out, usually around an hour. Success comes down to teamwork, observation and a bit of logic, rather than any special knowledge. A game master follows the session and can slip in a hint if the team gets stuck, which stops you being blocked too long. It's an immersive experience that makes the countdown fly by and draws everyone in, even the quieter ones.
Several rooms with varied worlds
Cube doesn't offer a single scenario but several rooms with distinct moods, so you can come back without repeating the same thing twice. The sets and themes change from one room to the next, from the mysterious to the adventurous, and some even rely on darkness to raise the stakes. The difficulty varies by room, with some fairly accessible options and others that demand more method. Before booking, take a look at the online descriptions to choose a world that will please your whole team and match your mood.
Who it's for
An escape game fits a trip especially well: it brings people together, works even in bad weather and suits very different groups. Families, friends or colleagues share a good time here, and beginners are quickly put at ease, as the on-site team explains the rules before you start. The experience builds team spirit and leaves fond memories, especially when you make it out in time. Well liked by visitors, Cube is a safe bet for a fun outing in Nancy, in the evening as much as during the day.
Booking and getting organised
Booking ahead is strongly recommended, since each room takes one group at a time and slots fill up fast, especially at weekends when the opening hours are wider. Book online via the official website or by phone, and check the suitable number of players for the room you pick. Plan to arrive a little before your slot for the briefing, and sort out your group in advance. A session pairs nicely with dinner in the city centre straight after, to extend the evening and go over your exploits at the table.
