Old Town Brussels: The Secret Beer Recipes
It’s the 19th century in Belgium, and you—well, 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. This isn’t just a game—it’s a real-world adventure made for sharing with friends or family.
Will you return home a master brewer—or just another tale lost in the foam? Lace up your boots, and find out.

Storyline
You’re the son of a beer brewer from a tiny village near Brussels. It’s the 19th century, and you don’t have much choice but to help your father. But you’re so lazy.
One day, your father gets fed up with you and refuses to keep you under his roof anymore unless you’re going to learn about beer making.
For that, you have to take a trip to Brussels. You need to go from bar to bar and gather the best tips and recipes to make great beer. Will you be able to do what your father asks, or will you end up with a hangover in the gutter?
