You don't come for "an escape room". You come to live The Secrets of Béthencourt: a historical thriller around Marie-Victoire de Béthencourt (1876-1942), the manor's last lady. A whole evening of puzzles, dinner together, a night on site, breakfast at the manor the next morning. It is the first escape game hotel in Northern France.
The manor is yours alone: 650 m², eleven game rooms, six bedrooms. No other group, no sixty-minute timer. You set the pace — when you dine, when you sleep, when you leave.
For which occasions
- Milestone birthdays (30, 40). An evening like no other, and a memory the group retells for months.
- Stag and hen parties. A full night to live together, away from the usual formats — without leaving the North.
- Reunions with friends. The perfect excuse to gather a scattered group for a night in a manor.
- A weekend with family or close ones. From 6 to 14 people, younger and seasoned players alike — everyone finds a place in the investigation.
How it works
You arrive at 7 pm. The game master welcomes you, assigns the bedrooms, and the investigation begins. Dinner at 9 pm during the game, together in the manor's kitchen.
At night, the investigation takes over the whole house. Eleven rooms, 650 m² of playable space, up to seven hours of puzzles. Dinner at 9 pm during the game. Everyone contributes in their own way. The game master stays with you until between midnight and 2 am, depending on the group. When you're done, you sleep on site. Northern breakfast around the large table, from 9 to 10.30 am: produce from our local bakers, beekeepers and orchards, depending on the season. Rooms vacated by 10 am, departure at 11 am. From 7 pm to 11 am the next day on site — not a one-hour outing.
