The experience

About this quest

It's the 19th century in Belgium, and honestly, you'd rather sleep than stir malt. But your father, a respected village brewer, has had enough.

Either you learn the craft or you're out.

So here you are, in the heart of Brussels, on a tipsy trail of taverns, tasked with collecting secret beer recipes from the city's most storied brewers.

As you walk through cobbled streets and hidden alleys, you'll solve puzzles, follow clues, and uncover the hoppy heart of Belgium's brewing past.

Will you return home a master brewer, or just another tale lost in the foam? Lace up your boots, and find out.

Belgian beer context

Brewing traditions broader than one secret recipe

Belgian beer culture includes Trappist and abbey associations, spontaneous fermentation, lambic traditions and a wide range of regional styles and serving customs. UNESCO recognizes Belgian beer culture as intangible cultural heritage. This quest turns that real diversity into a fictional recipe mystery; it does not claim that one hidden formula explains the country’s brewing history. Playable languages: English, French, Dutch, German.
