1 / 5Tournai Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game
About this activity
This adventure tours is one of the standout things to do in Tournai, Belgium. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. Follow a detective murder case on foot through Tournai, from the conservatory to the Grand-Place and the Pont des Trous, at your own pace.
Your starting point in Tournai is the music conservatory, and the case pulls you straight into the old centre. The route runs by the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, over the Grand-Place and out to the Pont des Trous. Tournai works well on foot, and the murder mystery game uses the whole of it as a crime scene.
The old town is flat and close-knit, so the walking asks little of anyone: families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues all get on with it, and a single player has the same experience. One team is up to four people sharing one phone between them; groups larger than that split into more teams. There is no guide and no set hour to be anywhere.

Balthasar has been murdered, and the investigation is yours. You break codes, take the photographs the app asks for, and weigh up what the digital characters tell you, since some of it is untrue. Around the Halle aux Draps and the streets by Saint-Jacques Church, the pieces begin to fit and names drop off the list.
Two teams playing at the same time makes Tournai a competition, which is why the game doubles as a teambuilding activity. Pause for as long as you like and take it up again, ending the case in Tournai.
