You are a team of newly arrived trainee archaeologists at the Gallo-Roman site of Le Fâ. Before opening new excavations, you are given a mission: to retrieve the archives of Léon Masali, the famous archaeologist who explored the site in the 1930s. A secret has lain dormant in these files since the Second World War, but only he held the key… Unless the mysterious Irène has intervened… Could she have left clues? It's up to you to find the answers before being sent to the dig site. One session for 3 to 9 players. Ages 8 and up. Duration: 75 minutes. Prices: €15/person, €50/2 adults & 2 children.
– Murder Party “Panic on the Construction Site” – Free access. New for 2026
Investigate and restore calm to the archaeological site at Le Fâ. Adrien Valmont, the site manager, has been found dead at the foot of the Moulin du Fâ. Murder or accident? There's no shortage of suspects among those who associated with this renowned archaeologist: rivals, colleagues, tour guides… They all had good reason to get rid of him. Be observant and perceptive, gather clues, and verify the alibis.
