A little investigation The Postman's Tour

Remember Antoine, the postman?

Well, we’ve found him! And he’s got his work cut out for him: letters, petitions… and even a marriage proposal! But his round doesn’t look good…

Help him find the letterboxes at the various delivery points, and learn a little more about the heritage of Bergues! The mischievous postman even has a few riddles for you!

Between legends and mysteries The secrets of Esquelbecq!

Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of Esquelbecq, where every façade and every stone tells a story. Discover the intriguing designs that adorn the village walls, and let yourself be guided through local legends, ancient myths and popular beliefs.

Along the way, you’ll share in the joys, sorrows and hopes of those who have shaped this place over the centuries. The walls have a memory… can you unlock its secrets?

Find each place with a location riddle, then once you’re there, solve the challenges to get on with the adventure!

Treasure of Flanders! In the footsteps of flax

Stroll through the narrow streets of Hondschoote and immerse yourself in the thousand-year-old culture of linen, a symbol of Flemish history and know-how. This little blue flower, discreet but precious, has shaped the landscape, the economy and the identity of an entire region.

With your guidebook in hand, you’ll set off in search of emblematic sites, solve riddles and gradually unlock the secrets of flax and the fertile land that surrounds it.

Your adventure begins with a challenge: find a mystery location! Once there, keep your eyes open, explore… and take up the new challenge that awaits you at each stage!

Can you restore the system? Bergues 2.0

An experimental computer programme has been run without your knowledge… but something has gone wrong. The data has been corrupted, bearings scrambled and memories fragmented.

Your mission: infiltrate the system, follow the digital trails left in the city, solve encrypted riddles and reconstruct the programme’s faulty memory. Each step brings you closer to a locked file… which could well contain a forgotten truth.

Logic, observation, deduction… This treasure hunt plunges you into a world between reality and fiction, where code is interwoven with heritage. It’s up to you to decipher the error and restore the balance. Starting point: a bug. Destination: the unexpected.
