Gilles: the man behind the adrenalin of Escapades Nocturnes

2. Folles ID, an association like no other

The Folles ID association was born out of a simple discussion between Gilles and Muriel Stenzel, both escape game enthusiasts. Their passion quickly gave rise to a dynamic group that now numbers some fifty committed volunteers. Folles ID stands out for its desire to create high-quality immersive experiences where entertainment goes hand in hand with cultural discovery.

More than just games, Folles ID promotes the values of sharing, inclusion and creativity. Each project is based on rigorous teamwork, with weekly meetings, brainstorming sessions and intensive testing phases. “We don’t just want to offer a game, but an unforgettable adventure that will leave an indelible memory,” explains Gilles. The association is constantly innovating and pushing back the boundaries of escape game staging.

Over the years, Folles ID has broadened its scope and diversified its events. As well as escape games, the association offers interactive events, life-size role-playing games and theatrical experiences suitable for all ages. The idea is always the same: to invite the audience to take part in the story being told.

Diving into the heart of nocturnal escapades

“EsKapades Nocturnes” is a unique escape game designed to immerse players in local history. Over the course of several hours, participants explore ten rooms in the museum, each containing a series of secrets, puzzles and iconic characters played by volunteers. Each room is carefully staged and immersively decorated to immerse visitors in a distant era where they must use their ingenuity and team spirit to progress.

Organising such an event in a historical museum was not without its challenges. Adapting the sets while preserving the authenticity of the site required a great deal of thought and meticulous work. “We designed the sets to measure, taking care not to damage the integrity of the museum. We wanted visitors to have fun while discovering our heritage in an original way,” explains Gilles. The greatest challenge was to integrate the different elements of the sets and puzzles without disrupting the layout of the existing exhibitions.

The 2025 edition will be full of new surprises. New puzzles, even more immersive special effects and greater interaction with the characters promise an even more intense experience. This year, the emphasis is on the adaptability of the game: depending on the level of participants, the puzzles can be adapted to suit beginners and experienced players alike.
