Letting her great-great-grandfather take the fall? Out of the question for Emma Keller! This descendant of a factory worker has decided to restore the truth about an affair that has gone on for too long.

A little background. It's 1924, and Jean Keller, a worker at the Châtellerault Arms Factory, is found unconscious in his workshop. The problem is: secret plans for the factory have been stolen. And now Jean is wrongly accused, unable to prove his innocence. 100 years later, Emma decides to reopen the case... That's where you come in!

The Experts in Châtellerault

Credits! Your tribe's mission today: find the identity of the plan thief and uncover the truth about the Keller affair. All through an investigation full of challenges and twists. Your crime scene? The Weapons Factory, as well as the town of Châtellerault and its heritage. Your team? A family ready to join forces against injustice. Your clues? The Tourist Office has carefully compiled them in a top-secret file. Handy for keeping track!

You've barely arrived at the gates of the Manufacture when the children already have their theories about the thief's identity. What if it's the machine man? His boss? His best friend? No time for false leads, the whole family sets off in search of clues scattered throughout the city. From the clock to the forge, via the director's garden and the skatepark, the puzzles follow one another in a relaxed atmosphere... without losing sight of the goal! The ideal way to discover the city's history and heritage while playing Agatha Christie. No problem, Mom prefers Sherlock Holmes.

A case to be put in the Kler

Your precious case file is running out of clues, and the thief's reveal is fast approaching. The little ones are almost disappointed that the adventure is already over. Even though it's been a very busy afternoon! The advantage of investigating outdoors is that everyone can enjoy the activity at their own pace, stopping, chatting, and cuddling whenever they want. That's also what a successful investigation is all about!
