The mission: Your story in Carcassonne
As a wannabe protector of the city, you wish to set this female ghost at rest and win the sympathy of Carcassonne’s citizens.
The lady is said to cross the river Aude sometimes from the Lower Town, so you take the chance to spot, follow and help the unfortunate woman.

Frequently asked questions
What’s this quest about?
It’s like stepping back to the Middle Ages. You’ll wander the old citadel, follow spooky clues, and hear legends about knights and ghosts that once haunted these walls.
Is it scary?
It’s more fun-spooky than horror. Think mysterious stories and eerie corners, not jump scares. Perfect if you love history with a little chill.
Is it kid-friendly?
Older kids and teens will love the mystery and medieval setting. It might be a bit much for very young children after dark, but daytime is perfect for families.
Is it good for a group of friends?
Absolutely. You can split into teams, race to solve the clues, and share lots of laughs while exploring the citadel together.
What should we bring?
Comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and maybe a jacket if you’re playing in the evening. That’s it.
