Murder in the city
The dark side of Brussels
As part of the Murder in the Museum exhibition
which has been taking place at the Royal Belgian Insitute of Natural
Sciences since Decemeber 2006, a game has been organised during May
and June 2007 with the city of Brussels as the scene of the crime.
Individuals can take part at any time; you just need to download
the itinerary suggested by Geosafari on their website. The itinerary
will help you to discover places in Brussels in which crimes have
been committed, and which will remind you of both comic detectives
and well-known Belgian crime fiction writers. This game runs until
the end of June 2007 though the exhibition itself runs until September.
Various different options are available, some of which offer prizes
if you compete on the Internet.
For more information visit the sites for
Geosafari and Murder at the Museum. (Translator's note: If you have
been to the main exhibition you receive a special code which will
give you access to the game whether on a GPS, WAP phone or the Internet.)
