Dive into a fun-filled historical adventure in the heart of secret France under Louis XIV, and join the ranks of the dreaded Cabinet Noir. A secret organization charged with protecting the kingdom through its network of spies.

The scenario - "The spy in the black cabinet

Duration: 2h - Self-guided - Ages 10 and up

1664: A conspiracy is brewing in the shadows of private mansions, threatening the kingdom. As an agent of the Cabinet Noir, your mission is clear: spy on these places, gather clues and thwart the plots before it's too late.

It all begins at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where a coded letter has been intercepted. To unlock its secrets, you'll first need to transmit a decrypted message to the Cabinet Noir.

Eight suspects, among the most influential of the Court, will you be cunning enough to foil this plot and protect the Crown?

How does it work?

You'll receive an e-mail with a link to your game book. We recommend that you print it out to complete your investigation.
The game is completely autonomous, so you can start your adventure whenever you like. Meet in front of the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye to begin your mission. The investigation requires the château grounds to be open.
Your team will set off through the town's streets with daring, courage and panache, in search of clues to unmask the culprit.
Once you've deciphered your code, you'll need to enter it on a secret web page provided to you. This will take you to the final outcome of the investigation.

Honestly, it's expensive for what it is. We couldn't validate our answer and therefore get the solution, as the site wasn't working. Also, we're not from the area, and finding certain locations (including the particularly complicated 4) wasn't easy. The concept is good, but the clues need to be revised, as there aren't many of them, and if you don't understand them, you're stuck. We had to ask some St Germain residents to help us find this famous point number 4, because we were completely lost.

Very cool game, but the explanations on the document provided are not always very clear.
