The mission: Your story in Brussels
Heraclaws Purrod arrives in Brussels, excited like a curious cat smelling sardines. He stands outside the Théâtre des Galeries, ready for a play, though a bit wary. As he watches, a familiar sound rings out: a bike bell chiming like a war cry. It’s Pawstrid, arriving at full speed.
“Claws! Are you here for the play too?” she asks with a playful smile.
Purrod nods, though his whiskers twitch with unease. Shadows stir around them, and a hint of mystery—or shrimp croquettes—floats in the air.

Frequently asked questions
What’s this comic book adventure all about?
You follow two characters—Heraclaws and Pawstrid—on a mission through Brussels’ murals. There’s a villain plotting to erase comic icons, so you solve puzzles, check out street art, and uncover secrets before these beloved murals vanish.
Who will enjoy this most—families, couples, solo travellers?
All of them! Families with kids will love the colourful murals and playful vibe, couples get a fun and quirky date, and solo travellers will dig discovering hidden corners of the city.
Is this a romantic idea for couples?
Yes, if you like art and exploring together! Walking through Grand-Place at golden hour, stopping by quaint squares, solving clues side by side—it’s got charm and adventure mixed.
Is this suitable for families with kids?
Totally. Kids who like comics or colourful visuals will be engaged. The story is playful, the puzzles aren’t too heavy. Best during daytime so you can appreciate murals better.
Do I need to book ahead or start at a specific time?
Nope—“Play anytime, any day” is the vibe. Just start when you’re ready. Best to begin during daylight to see the murals well.
