Bomb Squad Bordeaux: a remarkable arrival!
On Friday, March 14, 2025, Bomb Squad officially opened its doors right in the heart of Bordeaux, in the Pey-Berland district at the Saint-Christoly shopping center. This unique concept, created by David Musset and Alexandre Soltani, mixes action, strategy, and thrills with exciting physical and mental challenges.
After captivating over 50,000 players across Europe, the brand opened its 8th venue in Bordeaux this weekend to offer a whole new gaming experience.
Mission in a Post-Apocalyptic Universe
Immersed in a world ravaged by nuclear war, players take on the role of recruits in an elite group, the Bomb Squad, tasked with defusing bombs right in the heart of the last metropolis, New Terra, safeguarded by a dome.
The challenge? Successfully defuse a paint bomb before it explodes, splattering color all over the place! This totally unique outcome – meant to be avoided for the mission to succeed – sparks all sorts of curiosity among players who secretly hope to witness this colorful detonation. "In any case, the final countdown promises to be rich in sweat or... paint," smiles the founder!
Action, reaction, and team spirit!
Game sessions last for one hour and are played in teams of 2 to 6 people as you navigate through five challenge rooms. Players need to combine communication, agility, memory, and endurance to progress and gain extra seconds. One of the must-visit spaces? The Grid, an endurance challenge played on light-up tiles that detect weight (a first in France), is the highlight of the experience!
The record to beat? 4880 points. Only 5% of players manage to defuse the bomb and join the prestigious Bomb Squad.
A Growing Concept
Already present in several major European cities like Paris, Brussels, and Berlin, Bomb Squad aims to open 20 establishments by the end of the year. In Bordeaux, the experience is available every day, starting from €25 per player. The success is so great that all Bomb Squad locations boast near-perfect ratings on Google.
Created in collaboration with graphic designers, screenwriters, and illustrators, Bomb Squad offers a captivating storyline, backed by interactive settings, a dynamic scoring system, and cutting-edge technology. A comic book inspired by the game has been published, and the second volume is already eagerly awaited. The brand continues its journey, aiming to become a leader in French and European entertainment, with plans to open in 20 new cities by the end of the year.
