the Grand too is labeled “Country of Art and History” by the Ministry of Culture for the richness of its heritage. Do you know that three guide-lecturers in charge of cultural activities do not lack imagination to surprise you? In particular with a game, “Death to save the king”. Explanations.
A life-size cluedo, with games in the city
The principle is simple. Participants register at the tourist office or on the internet before the event. The same day the teams are formed. Usually four teams, with an average of five people.
Participants then have two hours to resolve seven games and puzzles located in different places of the city.
The participants must collect the correct answers in their playbook. Each time they have a correct answer, they get a clue and the testimony of a character in the story. At the end of the day, you have to solve the murder and answer the questions WHO? OR ? WHY ?
A game inspired by a true story
Aymeric Guillot explains the genesis of this project: “It was born during confinement. We took advantage of the period to renew our tours and look for new ideas ”.
The Clued’Auch was offered for the first time in September 2021 on the occasion of the Heritage Days. “We have already facilitated four sessions. Each time there is success ”.
Today the trend is to offer fun experiences where tourists and participants will learn and discover while having fun. This is precisely the objective of Clued’Auch.
Back in 1660, when Louis XIV and D’Artagnan were staying in Auch
Did you know that Louis XIV and D’Artagnan were really present in Auch in 1660?The young king was then 21 years old and he was going to a wedding in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The Gers was a stopover for the monarch who wanted to discover his kingdom. A step probably suggested by D’Artagnan. Think about it, he had left the Gers at the age of 14 and had never returned there. At 45, it was time to fix it!
The musketeers were present in force in the Gers to protect the Sun King. But in the night, a drama occurs …
A young musketeer is cowardly murdered
In the morning you have to face the facts, a musketeer is missing. And for good reason, he has just been assassinated. Corn why this crime in the Gascon city?
It’s up to you to play and find out!
This game is also eligible for families, from 8 years old. The puzzles are based on observation and therefore accessible to everyone. At the end of the game, we give a card that contains the historical facts on the front, and the adaptation linked to detective fiction on the back. Everyone is having a good time. We have great feedback.
And even companies seduced
The guide-lecturer is delighted to see that the meeting appeals to many people who are full of praise and word of mouth about the event.
Quite recently, it was even a construction company that contacted the tourist office to request a special session, with the aim of doing a team building for its employees. “They beat the record and managed to solve the murder in barely an hour “, Aymeric Guillot is still astonished. “It was like in Koh Lanta. they did it at a run, ”he laughs.
