2024 - Workers' housing estate in Port-Brillet

THE INVESTIGATION: A cry rings out: “Murder! Murder!” A body has been discovered near the pond… The victim, a worker at the famous Chappée foundries, has been murdered, and the crime must not go unpunished! Inspector Moustache is calling in the visitors: the culprit could still be lurking nearby! In this open-air investigation orchestrated by Laval Tourisme and the “Pincés de scène” troupe, visitors were plunged into a thrilling plot set just after the First World War. A dozen actors in period costume portrayed the witnesses that participants had to question to unravel the clues and identify the culprit.

2023 - Château d'Hauterives in Argentré

THE INTRIGUE: Jean-Baptiste Berset d’Hauterives, ambitious and hungry for recognition, has decided to organize a prestigious literary salon in his château, to rival those in the capital. For the occasion, he has invited a host of high society gentlemen and ladies. But the lunch turned tragic: someone tried to poison him! The royal police lieutenant, present among the guests, immediately locks down the estate and orders an immediate investigation. He believes the culprit is hiding among the guests or servants. The visitors thus became investigators, assisting the lieutenant in his investigation. Moving freely around the estate, they questioned nobles and servants, cross-referenced testimonies, and sought to unravel the mystery: who is behind this attempted murder, and why?

2022 - Clairmont Abbey in Olivet

THE INTRIGUE: Mercy! The “pittance” brother has been murdered! The Lords of Laval dispatched their bailiff and provost marshal to Clairmont Abbey to unmask the murderer… Visitors helped them in their investigation by touring the Cistercian abbey and interviewing various witnesses. The abbot, the friar prior, the friar porter, the huntsman and the convers were all valuable witnesses, but also potential culprits!
