An escape game to discover the Parvis

Last Thursday, groups of four or five young people, clearly engrossed in their activities, could be seen at Le Parvis. They moved from the cinema to the main performance hall, passing by the contemporary art center and the Café Parvis. This flurry of activity was the culmination of months of work by another group of young people: a dozen second-year students from the BUT MMI (Multimedia and Internet Professions) program at the IUT of Tarbes, who were commissioned by Le Parvis last January to create an escape game. These students, tasked with this project, played with the institution's communication style, the venue itself, and its programming to connect with the audience Le Parvis is actively seeking. These future professionals designed digital communication materials, a website, and the game's puzzles so that, on Thursday afternoon, around sixty young people could playfully explore the cultural institution's spaces and programming. They say only the first step is difficult. And in this case, it was already free.
