"Find-the-Code: Fall Hacked" Outdoor Escape Game Neuchâtel

In this puzzle adventure, you and your team move independently through Neuchâtel. Using your smartphone, you receive hints, face exciting challenges, and explore the city’s varied sights.

Your goal is to crack the secret code together and stop the criminal from accessing residents' data. The route is flexible.

The criminal’s message reads:

• A Neuchâtel city employee has downloaded malware. This gives the criminal access to all resident data in Neuchâtel!
• He wants to sell this data to shady clients who might spam residents with payment demands for purchases they never made or use the data for other criminal activities.
• The malware can only be stopped by a secret code.

Start the timer, solve the puzzles at the different locations with team play, and chat with the deranged criminal. Work together and solve each puzzle as a team.

Along the way, visit the Passerelle de l’Utopie and the colourful Rue des Chavannes in Neuchâtel’s old town. Also stroll along the promenade by Lake Neuchâtel, visit the castle park, the impressive collegiate church, and the prison tower.

You can visit puzzle spots in any order. Decide together on the fastest route and best strategy. The total distance is about 3 km. At the end, combine the puzzle pieces you’ve collected to find the solution.

• If you can’t make it on the planned day or things don’t go as expected, no worries! The game remains valid indefinitely as long as the location is open. Just start your adventure on another day.
• The terrain is quite steep with several climbs and stairs, so finding the secret code usually takes about 30 minutes longer than in most other Hacked game locations.
