The Story of Ghent
Starting location: Sint-Veerleplein
It is 1823. In the heart of the old city lives Joanna the Black, a woman known by almost everyone and someone who can effortlessly wrap people around her finger. For years, she ran a bustling guesthouse where merchants, travelers, and influential gentlemen sought refuge. But times have changed… With the Escape Tour Ghent, you step into Joanna’s shoes and set out in search of the city’s secret exit. But why?
Over the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling. Whispers of dark rituals are spreading, and some even believe that the mysterious disappearances are her doing. More and more accusing fingers are being pointed at Joanna. The trust of the townspeople has turned into fear and anger, and they want to imprison her at all costs. And that can only be avoided if Joanna finds the secret exit within two hours. Will you succeed (again) and set a fast time?
