One day, the captain of the Citadelle, which is the fortress in the city of Quebec, finds a strange old medal that he had never seen before. He takes the artifact to his office to examine. While the captain is gone, the medal starts to emit strange power. That causes three ghosts who left unforgettable things in the Citadelle to return from the world of the dead. Each ghost is looking for two items that are important to them somewhere in this fortress. Can you find the items for them so that they can happily return to their world?

I loved that the pictures and images for the stories and puzzles enriched the immersive feeling. The puzzles that required a 360-degree virtual walkthrough of some historical sites in the fortress were great. I enjoyed exploring those areas online by playing the game.

The game is playable entirely online. You do not need a kit or printout. You can purchase the game through the website to play it. The game is playable with any device that has a connection to the internet. I recommend playing the game with a PC.
Each player must purchase the game separately when you play it with friends remotely. Since the website has no system to connect players within the game, you must use communication tools like Zoom or Skype to communicate with your teammates.

The game was like an online version of a puzzle hunt. The map of the fortress was on the main page, and I visited various areas on the map online to solve puzzles. All puzzles and stories fit the theme nicely, and they were inspired by the history and culture of the Citadelle. I enjoyed solving puzzles with various types of online tools. The use of a 360-degree virtual tour at some locations was excellent. I had fun exploring some unique sites that are not usually open to the public. I appreciated that the game provides two difficulty levels. If children can play the fun game, it may help evoke their interest in this historical place. I chose Normal Mode, and the puzzles were straightforward. Step-by-step hints were helpful. The game only had the minimum amount of historical explanation to keep enjoying the puzzles, and it was enough to feel the atmosphere of the fortress. It made me want to visit the Citadelle and the city of Quebec. Overall, the game was enjoyable and educational.
