Blackout Mission drops you into a city-wide emergency: communications are down, the lights have failed, and the clock is unforgiving. Using an interactive tablet and augmented-reality clues, participants navigate the streets of Bruxelles to decrypt digital puzzles, hack infected systems, and push the scenario toward a cinematic climax.

THE TECH

Augmented reality and an interactive tablet drive the game

The mission’s core mechanic pairs an interactive tablet with AR clues and digital puzzles, turning the urban fabric into an active gameboard where screens and streets converge.

THE SCENARIO

A city plunged into blackout — high stakes, cinematic tension

The narrative frames Bruxelles as a city in collapse: communications severed, systems infected, and time running out, producing a heart-pounding scenario that plays out like a movie.

THE PLAY

Urban exploration meets puzzle solving

Teams or solo players move through the streets to locate clues, crack codes, and execute virtual ‘hacks’ — a hybrid of scavenger hunt, escape room, and digital detective work.
