An enigmatic spy has stolen the recipe for the galette de Pérouges. Follow in his footsteps by solving the puzzles of the “Code Pérouges” treasure hunt!
The "Internal Affairs Office" was created to investigate mysterious phenomena occurring from Pérouges to Bugey. For years, he has been working in collaboration with the Tourist Office. The latter informs him of paranormal cases seen on the territory. Among them, Cerin's Ferocious Beast, the enigmatic " Puss in Boots " and the weapon of olfactory destruction, better known by its codename "The Ramekin". Today one of the agents of the office reveals her most intriguing file, that of the spy of Pérouges.
I have been part of the internal affairs office. I am attached to the “Pérouges” sector. Do you know Pérouges? It is a medieval-looking village near Lyon. It's about second tourist site the most visited of the department of Ain. The reason for its popularity? His houses which seem to come out law of the past, its cobbled streets leading right with the delicious galette, a village speciality.
And then how not to mention one of those days when we witness at the opening of spatio-temporal portals? These events make characters from another era flood the streets of the village… The inhabitants are so used to it, that they organize holidays to welcome them with dignity!
A tourist like no other...
Recently, a new phenomenon caught the attention of the internal affairs office. An individual with suspicious behavior has been seen in the streets of the city. He studied the visit plan of the village.
Over the following days, the individual continued to act like any other visitor to the village.
I spotted him doinglisten to the audio tour of the village on your smartphone ...
…follow a guided visit...
…to study the architecture of the city.
Besides, he seemed to be particularly interested in architecture. from the Perouges bakery.
I still didn't understand why he was there. Until one day he was spotted tasting Perouges cake in a… weird way.
Since the time that we are alerted that the galette has become the object of desire of the other villages! They want to bring as many tourists in search of delicacies as they do in Pérouges. Would they have mandated a spy to seize the recipe for the Perugian pancake? We had to act, and quickly! On the same day, I requested urgent authorization to arrest the suspect.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. The spy took advantage of the baker's nap to steal the recipe...
Luckily, while fleeing, he knocked down his notebook!
After studying it, we had confirmation that our hypothesis was correct. It was indeed a spy mandated by a mysterious sponsor. Having failed to replicate the recipe himself, he decided to steal it from the Perugians!
In the footsteps of the spy
The disappearance of the recipe caused panic in the village. We tried to redo the cake from memory, but it turned out to be too sweet or not sweet enough, too dry or too soft... How can we welcome visitors with dignity in such conditions?
Fortunately, all is not lost. Unable to find the spy quickly, the internal affairs office decided to recruit united and motivated families to help complete the recipe! His draft is in the spy's notebook, found at the crime scene.
Several elements of the recipe are erased or missing. Your mission, if you accept it, will be to follow the treasure hunt by criss-crossing the streets of Pérouges and solving puzzles suitable for all ages. Once all the puzzles have been solved, the recipe will be complete!
Be careful and watchful, the internal affairs office is counting on you!
