Highlights
Ypres becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Grote Markt, Cloth Hall, Sint-Jacobskerk and St. Martin's Cathedral. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Ypres.

About Ypres
Ypres, a Flemish town rebuilt from the ruins of the First World War, centres on a vast Cloth Hall and is ringed by memorials and cemeteries.
The Cloth Hall on the Grote Markt, a Gothic trading hall begun in the thirteenth century, was destroyed in the fighting and rebuilt in the decades that followed, together with the town around it. The belfry rises from the building, and the In Flanders Fields Museum is housed inside it. A short walk away, the Menin Gate bears the names of more than fifty thousand Commonwealth soldiers with no known grave, and the Last Post is sounded beneath it every evening.
Top-ranked sights in Ypres: Tyne Cot Cemetery, Menin Gate Memorial (Ypres Memorial), Hill 60.
