A Haunted Evening at Ora Farmhouse

This year, Ora Farmhouse becomes Ora Haunted Farmhouse for one spooky night in the heart of a countryside home. To get there, you'll need to cross the park where silence reigns but strange things are happening. Once inside the house, nothing seems normal anymore: clocks chime, the organ plays by itself... Everything feels suspicious and the building is far from empty. An unforgettable evening that takes place across the restaurant's two floors, with two DJs for a thrilling musical atmosphere, and a delicious special Halloween cocktail.

Murder Party at the Curie Museum 

Get ready to have a greatback in time, to 1928, more precisely October 23rd. Madame Curie is abroad and, at that very moment, a dreadful crime takes place in the Curie laboratory: Denise Morel, a chemist and technician working in measurements, is murdered with a paper knife in the office of the famous scientist. Now it's time to find out who committed this terrible act that has shocked everyone. An enemy? Someone from the laboratory? Was she in the wrong place at the wrong time? For one evening, you take on the role of an investigator to find clues, analyze the crime scene, question witnesses, try to shed light on what really happened and name the culprit.
