Houba, we have a problem
An adventure straight out of Franquin's comic books, played as a family in the streets of Ghent.

A comic book hero
Created by Franquin, Marsu turned 70 in 2022. Parents grew up with him in the comics, kids will get to know him by playing. Everyone sets off on the same mission.

Characters straight from the comics
Aunt Diane, Señor Bombonera, Hector Forrest and, of course, the hunter himself. You travel through Marsu's albums without leaving Ghent.

The city as a playground
No dull guided tour, no long tiring walk. Marsu takes you to the best spots in town, one riddle at a time. Will you bring the whole family home safe and sound?
