You start at a cobbled square where brick façades watch like patient judges and the Deûle river threads the city, daring you to solve its riddles. The mobile app chirps to life and a voice — Harold’s, perhaps — sets a timer; the streets that usually bustle now feel like a gameboard. Teams of up to six move through alleys, past the 17th‑century Vieille Bourse and modern street art, confronting 35–45 missions that blend observation, logic and local lore.
