Description
On this interactive treasure hunt in Lausanne, you can explore the historic old town with the help of an app on your smartphone while solving exciting and informative puzzles and tasks.
You and your group can spontaneously venture out on a puzzle tour, as the starting time is up to you. All you need is one ticket per person for the interactive game and a smartphone with the corresponding app. The app guides you through an adventure filled with interesting information about the city, fun tasks, and tricky puzzles.
The treasure hunt lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours and starts at the Château Square in Lausanne. Along the way, you’ll discover many sights in Lausanne, including the Cathedral Square, the Bel-Air Tower, and the Montbenon Esplanade. The tour ultimately ends at the Montbenon Esplanade.

Swiss Activities Tip
The city of Lausanne has some unique museums to check out. Be sure to add a visit to your tour. We recommend the new arts district Plateforme 10 or the Collection de l’Art Brut. By the way, you can also find the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.
Information for School Classes
- A school class can have a maximum of 25 people (students and adult chaperones).
- It’s recommended to split the class into several teams, ideally with a maximum of 8 people per team.
- After booking, you’ll receive a code for the game. This code is redeemed by all participants, so a maximum of 25 times. By this time, it should be clear which students belong to which team.
- One person from the team clicks the "Create Team" button and gives the team a name. The team members click on "Join Team" and join the team using the team name.
- The teams should start with a time gap of about 2-3 minutes to prevent them from simply following each other.
- Generally, everyone plays on their own smartphone. By answering questions on their own phones, participants also compete against each other and see a leaderboard of all players, making it even more fun.
- If not every child in a class has an internet-enabled smartphone, the game can still be played. Those children can play on another child’s smartphone. All teams should have the same number of smartphones. Each team needs at least one smartphone.
