1. Escapes room
A narrated story, a space set up for adventure and 60 minutes to escape from the game. If you don’t make it, you simply lose. This is the premise of the already well-known escape rooms, escape rooms to play with whoever you want and that have come to Seville to stay.
There are different formulas, with unthinkable decorations but all of them with a common denominator: decipher codes, solve riddles and overcome all the challenges in order to get out of these games safe and sound. You have to rack your brains a bit in some of them; in others not so much, although fun, tension and team play are guaranteed.
If we hear escape room we immediately think of experience, teamwork, team buildings or, of course, as a good plan to celebrate birthdays in Seville. However, the problem lies in knowing how to choose and the city is adding more and more rooms to its street so we have decided to try some of them and see if they are worth it.

In the words of Cristina, so versatile that she pivots between the kitchen, decoration and painting, the menu of Pan y Circo has been built on the basis of the dishes “that we have liked the most from the places we have traveled to”. This flagship explains the taste of the dishes prepared here, “because how can you cook something you don’t like”.

Parties, corporate brunches, large-scale lunches and dinners, pre-weddings, filming closings… even catering at home (or where appropriate), ready to coordinate and design a tailor-made experience.
