A captivating scenario inspired by the Middle Ages

In this game, participants find themselves transported to a mysterious 15th-century world, where Sigmund, a copyist monk with a passion for strange tales, has been entrusted with an evil secret by Vlad the Impaler to protect the abbey... but at what price? With the manuscript snatched, the abbey in ruins and ominous shadows, you'll have to trace the thread of history, discover the legend of the Blue of Protection and restore balance to this ancient place.

The story combines historical ambience, observation challenges and immersive puzzles, in a format designed to last around two hours.

A charming cottage in a quiet village, very well located on the Wine Route and a stone's throw from Guebwiller. The accommodation is very well equipped and impeccably clean. The private outdoor areas add greatly to the magic of the place... and are a real bonus in summer.
