About this quest

See Verdun like never before! Playing the role of a thirteenth-century detective and monk, you are en route to Saint-Vanne Abbey.

To reach your destination, you must cross a turbulent city populated by bourgeoisie and artisans rebelling against their bishop. Travel through time from the lower town to the upper town. 

As you navigate between the present and the past, reality and fiction, solve the puzzles presented at each stage.
Adventure, suspense, mystery and history await you!

Highlights

  • The Estaminet on Rouyers St gets your investigation off to a flying start.

  • On Chaussée Bridge, you contemplate the mysteries that lie ahead. There, between canals and fortifications, an artisan district has a few surprises in store for you.

  • You will be helped by a tanner, a leatherworker, and a merchant, among others. But hush, it's time to go.

The mission: Your story in Verdun

You are Gabriel, a detective and monk living in the 13th century. Your congregation has sent you to Saint-Vanne to complete your medical training. A few surprises await you as a revolt rocks the city. 
Of course, seven centuries separate you from the city as it is today. But among the buildings you will see, some are contemporary with, or even predate, your own era. These chronological shenanigans won't stop you from walking in the footsteps of history. Enjoy your journey through time!
