“Une histoire racontée en Français aurait été plus agréable. Attention, quelques travaux empêchent de trouver les solutions (notamment la première énigme).

Nous ne l'avons pas fini. Le jeu peut être amélioré.”

“Ce concept de découverte de ville est excellent. La possibilité de faire un pause repas durant l’expérience est un vrai plus (je recommande d’ailleurs la crêperie "LeBeNew Crêperie" digne d'un resto gastro autour de la crêpe/galette). Le jeu des énigmes (pas toujours faciles, hein !) vient rythmer la visite. Une belle ballade même sous la pluie !”
