About Printemps

Located in the heart of Paris, Printemps is the world leading Department Store for Fashion, Luxury and Beauty. With over 44000 sqm organized throughout three buildings within 27 levels, Printemps is the landmark shopping destination for high-end consumers.

Printemps Window Displays

The pop-up escape room was unveiled during the windows opening ceremony by ISABELLE HUPPERT and NAOMI CAMPBELL.

This year, for the holidays at Printemps, Santa Claus is playing the role of Ringmaster “Monsieur Loyal” and bringing his troupe along for an extravagant tour of shows that will amaze kids and adults alike.

Coupole printemps

This special entertainment designed by Emeraude Escape for Christmas at Printemps Haussmann aims to stay more than 2 months at the 7th floor under the big dome.

The purpose was to fit with the artistic direction of the whole store, including famous outdoor window displays. The escape room is open to anyone who visits Printemps during the holidays season. The game can be played in both English and French.

Scenario:

Come on in, Gentlemen! Come on in, Ladies!
Take place under the glass dome, full of lights and dreams
But Sacrebleu, at the Great Circus tonight
Our Ringmaster really seems to be out of sight!
Could he have disappeared under the snow?
Without him the troupe cannot put on a show
Clowns, cannon men, tightrope and stilt walkers
are lost and not in the mood to celebrate any longer!
They are all counting on you to solve the mystery
of this disappearance, which we hope will be solved shortly!
No time to lose, you have 20 minutes to help us
this year’s event at Printemps is the Christmas Circus!
