Question 1

What is the goal of the game?

Accepted Answer

Solve the puzzles and challenges to enter the Château de Marzac and escape in less than 1.5 hours.

Question 2

Can adults without children enjoy the game?

Accepted Answer

YES! The challenge, played in one or more adult teams, makes this game exciting and family-friendly. Much of the course takes place in an unusual historical setting, allowing you to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes of the Périgord and the Vézère Valley. The castle itself is mysterious and features settings very reminiscent of the Mystery to be Solved.

Question 3

Can younger children participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The appeal of the game fosters cohesion and a participatory aspect for each age group. The various activities allow everyone to participate and give the team the best chance of success. Adults and children complement each other, and all players emerge from the challenges of the game feeling empowered.

Question 4

Are dogs allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as your dog is on a leash, except in the castle rooms. One participant will have to sacrifice their time for the inside of the castle. You can also leave your dog in the car in the shade and take it outside after the game.

Question 5

Can we only visit the exterior of the castle without playing the game?

Accepted Answer

NO, but if you do not wish to play the game, your ticket allows you access to the entire historical trail and to freely discover the garden enclosed by walls and gates from the 18th century, the furnished castle, the dovecote and its dome classified as a Historic Monument... The Château de Marzac is a private estate open for the first time to the public. It overlooks the Vézère valley with breathtaking views.

Question 6

Are there any shaded areas in case of extreme heat?

Accepted Answer

YES. The game takes place outdoors, and you'll enjoy the sunshine in some parts. Other challenges along the way are hidden beneath the foliage of the woods. The rooms in the castle are always cool and temperate. In the garden, water gates to pass through in the mazes add a touch of freshness and fun to the course.

Question 7

How long is the game?

Accepted Answer

The game lasts approximately 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes.

Question 8

Are strollers or back carriers allowed?

Accepted Answer

Strollers, like back-to-back baby carriers, are not permitted in the castle. We recommend a front-to-back baby carrier to fully enjoy the experience.

Question 9

Is there a picnic area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a picnic area on site. You will also find a refreshment bar and ice cream from Périgord producers and artisans! Please note that the Château de Marzac has a recycling policy, and we do not handle your picnic waste.

Question 10

There are 15 of us. How will this work for the game?

Accepted Answer

You will be split into two teams. The game is played in teams of two to a maximum of ten people. There must always be a team leader (Game Master) and at least one adult per group with children under 18.

Question 11

Is the "Château Escape-game" also accessible to visitors who do not speak French?

Accepted Answer

Of course! For our English-speaking visitors, an English version of the game is available.

Question 12

I would like to offer a gift voucher for your escape game to my children, is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, we don't offer gift cards yet. Tickets and game slot reservations will be available online on our website at the end of June. Please note that children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Teams of 2 to 5 people are required.

Question 13

What is the level of the Escape Game?

Accepted Answer

The Marzac Castle Escape Game is a new experience-tour concept. The Marzac Castle Escape Game is a game trail loosely inspired by the key principles that make Escape Rooms so successful: a spatially defined initiatory journey, secret places to discover, collaborative challenges, surprise passages, codes to find, and puzzles to solve. For the first time, the game's scenario takes place on the scale of a castle, both indoors and outdoors. This game, in which you are the hero, is intentionally designed for a family-friendly level, therefore "easy," for adults with or without children. Children ages 6 and up can accompany their parents. The quality of this experience depends on each team respecting the other teams of players. We thank you for ensuring this for everyone's enjoyment: do not run or shout your answers out loud. The settings in this scenario are authentic: we ask that you respect them.

Question 14

Should I do physical exercises during the Escape Game?

Accepted Answer

No. The physical level is moderate. A plan B is always suggested for so-called "surprise" sections.

Question 15

There are slots every 5 minutes. Is there any overlap between groups as a result?

Accepted Answer

The teams start with a 5-minute gap so that there is only one team at a time in the rooms of the castle (limited time inside per room and regulation of the teams by a game master on video).
