Visit the witnesses and answer the questions and riddles to get their testimonials. The testimonials are in the form of films and contain information that will allow you to eliminate suspects and weapons. In the end, you will hopefully have the right solution to the murder mystery! The game is in English. THE CASE The game takes place in a fictional small town called Glenndale. A man named Carl Brown has been found murdered in his own home. Why did someone want to kill Carl? Who had the motive and opportunity? Your task is to find out who the guilty one is and which murder weapon was used. This is our first case and more will come. We estimate that it takes at least 2h to complete the assignment. It usually takes a longer time as you may want to watch the testimonials an extra time, stop for a cup of coffee, or go into a place so that the whole team keeps up. It is not the fastest team that wins, but the team with the most points! Is this suitable for children? Absolutely, the activity is fun to do together as a family but is not designed for children to manage on their own. We recommend an age from 12 years old and up if there is no accompanying adult. But remember that it’s all about a murder and all about it. You will have a fun day together!

a fun afternoon. We discover the city differently, we can take the time to stroll in the shops or have a drink between two stages because there is no time constraint. Another way to discover a city.

Beautiful city tour, the walking distances are not far. cute puzzles. Unfortunately, the last station was closed off by a festival, but we were still able to solve the puzzles

Well done overall, the game worked technically flawlessly and kept us busy throughout the afternoon. a few more stations would be nice (e.g. Basilique Notre Dame...).
