This is a first for Calvados: a life-size game where you’ll be challenged to solve puzzles, embark on an adventure and watch street theatre – all in a great atmosphere!

Whether with friends or family, you’ll be immersed in a bespoke scenario set in the early 20th century. As part of this activity, some elements of the investigation are designed for younger participants.

Synopsis of the game

“July 1901, Blangy-le-Château, a small village in Calvados.

Just when everyone thought the wolf had disappeared, the village is once again facing this scourge following the death of a woman. At first, people found it hard to believe! And yet, Augustine’s lifeless body had been found not far from the castle ruins. Initial examinations revealed the characteristic marks of a wolf attack. This seemed surprising, as it was thought that the wolf had been eradicated since 1888… The population was in an uproar and people were beginning to pray to heaven and all the saints. The police had also been dispatched to close the case and confirm the incident. But nothing went as planned.

On this Sunday morning, to deal with this strange affair, the cream of the crop were sent to Normandy – the heavy artillery of the investigation: Police Commissioner Poulain and his brigade. We were going to be able to get to the bottom of this situation, and it is thanks to you that this investigation will be solved. You have been invited to assist him with this investigation. Find clues, question the suspects and establish the exact facts of this story!"
