Overview

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the grand avenues of Brussels. You will explore 14 different locations while following the story of a royal wedding threat investigating a mysterious letter warning of an assassination. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. The route hugs the city center and pairs historical facts with legends passed between residents. Perfect for history buffs, mystery lovers and urban explorers.

Starting from Porte de Flandre, the stops are spaced an average of around 300m apart, with each location taking around 10 min to complete. The route also passes through Saint Nicholas Church, Brussels Royal Palace, Magritte Museum and Grande Roue Place Poelaert. At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.

DISCLAIMER: You will explore by yourself using the Questo app on your phone. No physical guide or stranger groups will be involved. The full route covers approximately 4.5 km (2.8 mi) and takes around 2:30h to complete. You can play it any day, at any time. Languages available: EN, ES.
