LUMÉRIE · 1896 EscapeNook
DUSK — 1896, LUMÉRIE
Along a quiet canal lies a little village wrapped in flowers and warm light.
Its lantern still glows, but the streets keep a secret only the old boatman remembers...
Are you ready to uncover it?
Long after the last boat drifted down the canal, the lantern was never put out. Some say the village still waits for someone to return. Who — or what — are they waiting for?
Tucked between the window boxes and the old wooden shutters is a tiny clue. A message left long ago, in the year 1896... but you'll have to look very closely to find it.
You've found the entrance to the little village. There's only one thing left to do: step inside and build the world waiting on the other side. This isn't just a Book Nook. It's your gateway to LUMÉRIE.

What Is an EscapeNook ?
An EscapeNook is a hand-crafted miniature diorama that turns a corner of your bookshelf into a doorway to another world — fully illuminated, built piece by piece from wood, paper and light.
But what makes it truly one of a kind is what's hidden inside: every EscapeNook holds its own mystery, unique to its story, that unfolds as you build it — or waits to be uncovered once your creation is complete.
It's not just a book nook. It's a self-contained escape room you build with your own hands, and keep forever. ✨
