Questions and Answers: Special Investigations
Because you are very curious about how investigations and puzzles work , you will find below the most frequently asked questions and their answers.
Reservation
Events, like all activities at the manor, require a reservation for an overnight stay. The Manor of Secrets is primarily a guesthouse.
Insufficient number of players
If you have booked your overnight stay with "The Great Investigation," but you don't have a minimum of 4 players on the day of your stay, "Prelude to Murder," our escape room game for 2 players (1 to 1.5 hours), will be offered to you instead. If your stay is less than 7 days away, we will not be able to cancel it.
Interactions between players
This is a cooperative experience and cannot be booked individually. Each player receives a bracelet indicating their level of interaction: 🟢 Green – Role-playing and social interaction. 🔵 Blue – Social interaction without role-playing. ⚫ Black – Personal challenge, limited interaction. Each participant must respect the color code, allowing role-playing enthusiasts to express themselves while respecting the space of more reserved players. The goal: a successful immersion for everyone! The 3 bracelets will be available in your room! Change them according to your mood :)
Autonomy and indices
Progress through the investigation at your own pace. The furniture items you need are marked with wax seals. If you get stuck, use the red envelopes: 🔹 Back: Clues to guide you. 🔹 Front: Complete solution. If any manipulation is required, a copy of the key or item will be available in the envelope. A team member will also always be present on-site. ⚠️ Be careful, using too many clues could negatively impact your experience… Choose your level of challenge!
New scenarios
The story of the Manor of Secrets is essential and evolves with each investigation. It is imperative to follow the scenarios in order, as solving the Murder at the Manor is only the beginning… The next chapters of the adventure will be available at the end of 2025. Get ready to unravel new mysteries!
Use of equipment
The puzzles in the Manor of Secrets are mostly designed with real mechanical gears and period objects for total immersion. It is therefore essential to handle them with care: do not pull or tear any element.
