Case Study: The Chronicles of Saint-Cloud
A cultural and collaborative escape game created with Ludiz
The challenge: making Saint-Cloud’s history engaging and unifying
For its annual seminar, the City of Saint-Cloud wanted to offer an activity that was fun, cultural, and team-oriented.
The goals were to:
- Explore the city’s history in an original way,
- Highlight its cultural and heritage richness,
- Strengthen team cohesion and engagement.
The challenge was to design an immersive and interactive format that could involve 70 participants simultaneously while staying true to the seminar’s spirit.
The solution: The Chronicles of Saint-Cloud
The answer was a cultural escape game fully created and delivered on the Ludiz platform.
Thanks to its intuitive interface and interactive features, Ludiz made it possible to manage the storyline, team progression, and scoring seamlessly.
The narrative follows Nicolas Veyson, a fictional adventurer and inventor, descendant of Clodoald. Long considered missing, he reappears in a mysterious video message, explaining that he had built a time machine to explore different eras of Saint-Cloud’s history. A technical failure trapped him in the past.
Participants were tasked with helping him repair his machine by solving puzzles scattered across different historical eras.
Game flow
- Briefing & team setup: 70 players split into 14 teams of 5, each receiving a QR code and a roadbook.
- Exploration phase:
- A 7-puzzle journey, each puzzle linked to a physical workshop with printed documents, objects, and manipulatives.
- Teams solved challenges using these tangible clues, then entered codes into the Ludiz interface.
- Each validated code represented a step toward repairing the time machine.
- Finale: the last puzzle, combining both digital and physical elements, completed the machine’s repair and concluded the adventure.
