You step onto the riverfront and the Meuse pushes at the town’s edge, cool and steady, while a cliff-top citadel watches from above. Colorful façades line narrow streets; the bell of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady marks each hour as you open the app and your role as an alchemist begins. The game pulls you through alleys, squares and riverside promenades where the past and present collide.

You step onto the riverfront and the Meuse pushes at the town’s edge, cool and steady, while a cliff-top citadel watches from above. Colorful façades line narrow streets; the bell of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady marks each hour as you open the app and your role as an alchemist begins. The game pulls you through alleys, squares and riverside promenades where the past and present collide.
Dinant sits on hard limestone carved by the Meuse; its cliffs and caves shaped trade and defense for centuries. The town is the childhood home of Adolphe Sax — the saxophone’s creator — whose legacy echoes in local music festivals. The citadel, reachable by cable car or steps, traces military layers from medieval garrison to modern restoration. Small museums and riverside cafés reflect a working river culture: boatmen, fishermen and day-trippers sharing the quay.
The Alchemist is a two-hour, self-guided urban escape accessible via mobile app anytime between midnight and 11:30 p.m. You’ll interview witnesses, solve puzzles and decide the fate of Josyne — defend her or support the accusation of witchcraft. The experience includes 24/7 online support, an adventure summary with photos, and three-year access to your game. Expect mostly flat walking on paved streets with occasional steps; the route is stroller- and wheelchair-friendly in core sections, but check steep access to the citadel separately.
Practical tips: charge your phone, download the route or enable data, wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones, and time the game to avoid peak cruise-boat crowds on warm afternoons. With a little planning, the Alchemist turns Dinant’s living history into a playable mystery.
The game is designed for about two hours of play, but you can take more time to explore the town or finish at your own pace.
Access is available anytime between midnight and 11:30 p.m.; you can begin whenever you like within that window.
Core streets are generally stroller- and wheelchair-accessible, though the citadel and some viewpoints involve steps or steeper routes—plan accordingly.
The booking includes 24/7 online support through the app to provide hints or technical assistance.
