The lost Deadly Sins

The starring role of this irresistible detective game, set in Ostend and brimming with mysteries and secrets, is played by James Ensor. Ostend was this famous artist’s home base for almost his entire life. It was here, in the ‘queen of seaside resorts’, that he painted many of the masterpieces in his oeuvre. One his most famous works is The Seven Deadly Sins. Unfortunately, Ostend is about to be hit by a disaster: the works were stolen by an evil gangster, who was recently assassinated. Hunting for clues around the convivial seawall, the Mercator museum ship, the Venetian Galleries and many more of Ostend’s landmarks, the participants will have to solve this terrible crime and return the original Seven Deadly Sins to the city.

Best of Ensor

This digital game, set in Ostend, brings you to various places in the city that are somehow linked to Ensor and/or his work. During this scavenger hunt through Ostend, you will need to answer several questions about Ensor and complete some challenging practical assignments. These assignments will encourage you to use your creativity. Of course, if there is one thing that cannot be missing in a game called Best of Ensor it is the ‘masked man’ himself, who will cross the teams’ various paths at several points during their quest.
