The cobbled lanes of Dijon curve like questions; you follow them with a phone in hand and a story in your pocket. As the player-alchemist, you move through sunlit squares, past carved facades and under wrought-iron balconies while witnesses—delivered as puzzles—ask for the truth about a villager accused of witchcraft. The city watches: shutters creak, footsteps echo, and the Ouche River nudges you toward the next clue.

The city watches: shutters creak, footsteps echo, and the Ouche River nudges you toward the next clue.
Dijon’s streets are a walk through history. Once the capital of the powerful Duchy of Burgundy, its stonework and Ducal Palace reflect medieval prosperity. The city sits on the Burgundy plain over limestone bedrock; that stone was quarried into the buildings you’ll read clues beside. Culture here means mustard, wine routes that begin a short drive away, and markets where local life still happens mornings.
Practical guidance is simple: this is a self-guided urban escape game designed for teams up to six and runs about two hours. You’ll need only a charged smartphone and curiosity; the app guides you point to point with 35–40 missions and on-call support. Start anytime between midnight and 11:30 p.m., move at your own pace, and choose whether to defend or accuse as evidence builds.
Expect mostly flat walking on paved streets and occasional staircases in older sections. The route is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly in large sections but may include narrow passages. Bring comfortable shoes, a power bank, and a sense of play; keep voices low near residences and respect signage and private property. The Alchemist is a way to read Dijon aloud—one clue at a time.
