l'essentiel Ouvert en juin dernier, le nouveau parcours prend place dans les jardins de la forteresse de Beaucaire.

Attention, intrepid adventurers and mystery lovers! After conquering the hearts of 7,000 players with The Quest for the Grail, the fortress of Beaucaire opens a new epic chapter with Mistral and the legend of the Dragon. Imagined by the ingenious minds of TéléBleue, this thrilling journey promises to give a tough time to all those who wish to tackle it.

Hunting the Dragon!

Imagine a sinister dragon haunting the waters of the Rhône, right at the foot of the majestic Beaucaire fortress. Invisible and elusive, this monster would have terrorized the inhabitants until the prefect decided, in May 1863, to capture the beast for a big ceremony. And who better than Frédéric Mistral, the illustrious writer, to narrate this sensational capture? To solve the mystery and relive this historic day, it will be necessary to demonstrate bravery, ;rsquo;ingenuity and having a keen sense of teamwork.

Unlike a classic escape game, Mistral and the legend of the Dragon is more like an exhilarating treasure hunt, perfect for attracting both history buffs and curious novices. TéléBleue has concocted a delicious mix of complex puzzles and tests of strength that challenge even the sharpest minds.

Promising beginnings despite obstacles

Opened in June, the second route of the Beaucaire fortress had a somewhat jagged beginning " quot;, reveals Sophie Andrieu, marketing and communications manager at the Terre d’Argence tourist office in Beaucaire. The reasons ? "A capricious weather and a particular political climate", she continues. But that has not discouraged gamers and other adventure enthusiasts from embarking on this new quest for a month and a half. The route, which lasts approximately two hours, can be completed in a record time of an hour and a quarter for the fastest.
