Nuns are disappearing from the monastery. No one knows where they go or what’s happening to them… At the same time, the popularity and renown of the recently opened monastery restaurant Le Monastère keeps growing. The famed chef Gaston Boucher, awarded a Michelin star for his outstanding soup, won’t reveal anything about this success and fiercely guards his secrets. In the escape room Soup du Jour you’ve reserved a table for dinner at our prestigious restaurant, but you’ll soon discover that nothing in the kitchen is quite as it seems, and the chef isn’t very friendly either… Your mission: break into the chef’s private kitchen and decipher the clues Gaston has hidden in his old menus. But beware! Gaston has a violent temper. If you’re caught, your head might be next on the chopping block… Once the door closes behind you and the chef sharpens his knives, you have only 75 minutes to find out what’s really going on in the restaurant and to escape alive!

AI Overview

AIVisitors praise the immersive location and the committed game masters who are in character from the first moment. Puzzles feel logical, varied, and often playable in parallel, with a smooth flow and clear progress signals. The tension is present but not extreme; for many, this is Rock City Escape's least scary room. Critiques focus mainly on a somewhat flat storyline, an abrupt finale, and one element that drags the quality down a notch.

WeaknessesThe story and the chef's sense of threat don't always land as strongly, and the ending can feel sudden. Some players found one effect or sequence less successful or a bit less fleshed out.

StrengthsStrong set design in and around the old monastery with an eye for detail and ambiance. Creative, thematic puzzles that feel fair and encourage good teamwork. Welcoming guidance, a tight intro, and tailored hints keep the pace up.

SecurityClear briefing, calm start, and a visibly alert team create a safe feeling. The threatening theme stays as experience; the staff keep control and pace without pushing.

Level of fearTense and atmospheric with a few jump scares, but not hardcore horror. Suited to teams that can handle a touch of spooky; scaredy-cats will cope with humor and good guidance.

Actors' gameThe game masters are often praised: strong in character, funny, and supportive without overpowering. Hints arrive right on time, and sometimes you get just that bit of extra leeway to wrap things up.

Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied, thematically woven, and mostly logically solvable, with chances to work in parallel. Difficulty ranges from medium to tough but feels fair thanks to good feedback and subtle cues. A few unique effects elevate the experience, though not everyone finds them essential.

PlotYou infiltrate the restaurant Le Monastère to unravel chef Gaston's secrets and find out what happened to the missing nuns. The story supports the atmosphere well, though it's rarely perceived as deep or innovative.

Difficulty levelMedium-hard to challenging, especially with two people it can be tough. The 75 minutes and well-thought-out hint structure make it doable for mixed and experienced teams.
