Gaming Room Paris: Where to Find a Game Room in Paris (2025 Guide)
Looking for a gaming room in Paris to meet up with friends, colleagues, or family? Hereâs a quick tour of Paris (France) and the different types of entertainment spaces the city offers!
A Closer Look at the Different Gaming Rooms in Paris
Arcade in Paris
An arcade in Paris is a venue dedicated to video games and digital entertainment. Youâll find multiple arcade cabinets and consoles available for players to enjoy independently, often with a token or credit system to load games.
Expect large gaming areas with a fun, geeky, sometimes retro vibe. Play classics like Mario Kart, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, as well as more modern titles depending on the venue. Youâll also often find pinball, foosball, or even ping-pong. While dedicated game rooms in Paris are rarer than in the 90s, thereâs still plenty to enjoy!
There are several across the city: some focus on retrogaming and old-school arcades (e.g., PathĂ© Games, Place de Clichy), while others offer more varietyâlike Player One (StrasbourgâSaint-Denis), with lots of board games, or La TĂȘte dans les Nuages (1,500 mÂČ near RichelieuâDrouot, Paris OpĂ©ra), featuring bowling, a mechanical bull, and even VR simulators.
Board Game Bars in Paris
Board games among adults are back in style, and Paris is full of places to play with friendsâor meet new gaming partners! Player One, Les Mauvais Joueurs, and The Good Game are beloved gaming bars in Paris for board-game fans. Meet up to discover new titles youâve never tried before.
Bowling in Paris
For another âretroâ vibe, several bowling alleys in Paris offer a bar area and shoe rentals. Conversely (if thatâs your priority!), some gaming bars offer mini-bowling, like Gamelle in the 12th arrondissement, and often include arcade cabinets (pinball, old-school games, foosball).
Seven Squares at La Villette just opened next to Batman Escape with 10 bowling lanesâan ideal family activity that also includes an arcade room similar to La TĂȘte dans les Nuages (Paris OpĂ©ra). More broadly, Boom Boom Villette is a perfect place to spend an afternoon or weekend, open 7 days a week.
PĂ©tanque or Billiards Bars
Other gaming bars in Paris feature pétanque: Chez Bouboule (Montorgueil, Pigalle, Oberkampf), Les Niçois (rue LacharriÚre), Le Bellerive (Quai de la Seine), and Bar Ourcq (Quai de la Loire).
Prefer billiards? Try OâSullivans Rebel Bar (rue des Lombards) for a Scottish vibe or Billard Nation Shoot Again (CitĂ© Debergue) for a true pool-room feel.
Immersive Gaming Spaces
If youâre after a more modern and intense gaming experience in Paris, look to laser tag or escape roomsâfully themed spaces that transport you to another world for a playful, immersive adventure.
Here, there are no controllers or consolesâyour body and your team are your best tools.
Laser tag drops you into a dark arena to face friends or other players. Armed with a harmless laser blaster, you chase opponents through a maze. Popular venues include Urban Laser (Rue Saint-Maur) and Laser World (Montparnasse). Itâs typically indoors but can also be played outdoors. New Paris game concepts are popping up too, like Quiz Room Paris OpĂ©ra, or indoor skydiving at iFly in La Villetteâwith VR options offering immersive city views.
An escape room delivers a different style of play, focused on puzzles and team strategy for a timeless break from reality. Youâre transported into a complete world, locked in a room with your group, and must solve the storyâs challenges to escape in time. Each venue develops its own mood and atmosphereâsome even let you discover parts of Paris through gameplay.
Escape Rooms: A Different Kind of Gaming Room
An escape game is a unique, ultra-immersive concept designed to make you live a captivating story with friends or family. Success requires logic, observation, and cooperation, unlike classic arcades that rely more on reflexes and precision.
In an escape room in Paris, youâll feel stimulated by the story, the set design, and often by professional actors whoâll play with your nervesâor help you if your team is struggling.
Escape rooms are true collective adventures. Every session is a mission you accomplish together, sharing ideas and thinking as a team. It reveals each playerâs strengths while strengthening bonds.
At Batman Escape, this unusual gaming experience in Paris plunges you into Gotham City and its distinctive atmosphere. With official licenses, the venue recreates Batmanâs complex, mysterious universeâan ideal place to have fun in a group gaming room setting with family, friends, or colleagues.

The Missions
We designed three unique missions to transport you into the Dark Knightâs universe:
- The Joker: Jokeâs on You â As a Gotham reporter, youâre invited by the Joker for an exclusive interview at Arkham Asylum. Can you outwit his traps and bring back the scoop of the year?
- The Riddler: Your Final Test â Itâs your first day as a Gotham City police officer, and the Riddler plans to plunge the city into chaos. Solve his riddles and stop him before itâs too late.

How a Session Works
A Batman Escape session lasts 70 minutes and unfolds in three stages:
- Welcome & Briefing â Your Game Master (GM) explains safety rules, introduces the plot, and answers questions. They remain reachable throughout the session.
- The Game â Locked in a themed room with your group, itâs time to use your brainpower! Your GM monitors the session and can provide hints. Actors adapt their script to your actions, helping youâor sowing confusionâŠ
- Endgame & Debrief â Whether you escape in time or not, youâll debrief with your GM, reviewing highlights and improvement points for each player.
Our tip after an intense game: grab a refreshing drink and keep the debrief going with your team!
