Tintin, Lucky Luke, Smurfs and comic strip frescoes
Ready for a comic book adventure in Brussels?
Brussels lends itself very well to the “game in the city” format, and it has a real common thread: comic strip frescoes come to life… and a mysterious villain threatens to wipe them out. You walk through the center, solving interactive puzzles as you move through the streets.
The route takes you through very central places (Grand-Place, Galeries Royales, Saint-Géry, Manneken-Pis) and some more discreet corners. The good use is to play it in “simple exit” mode: you walk, observe, play, then you end with a break in the center.
6-point exploration game
- Interactive comic-themed adventure , with a mission to follow.
- Frescoes and heroes : Tintin, Lucky Luke, the Smurfs.

Why do children love it?
- Because they don’t “visit”: they search, they solve, and they spot the details in the city.
- Because it’s an outing that really occupies, while remaining simple: 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, in the center, without logistics.
The team’s opinion
This is a very effective activity if you want to do Brussels differently without booking a guided tour. The comic book theme gives a real motivation to walk, and the “riddles + frescoes” format works particularly well with the family, because we are in the action from start to finish.
