Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, is a treasure trove of natural retreats and a historic old town with a labyrinth of narrow alleys. Strolling along the Limmat River, you can enjoy the scenic waterfront promenades that lead up to the 17th-century Town Hall. Nestled between the iconic twin towers of the Grossmünster and the Uetliberg mountain, which offers a breathtaking view of Zurich, are the city's charming, romantic lanes. Are you eager to delve deeper into this multifaceted city and uncover its thrilling secrets? Our Scavenger Hunt in Zurich is the perfect way to do just that. As a team, you'll discover famous landmarks and hidden gems, tackling tricky challenges together.
Embark on a Scavenger Hunt in the heart of Zurich. The entire old town, brimming with attractions, becomes your playground. It's wise to start at the central meeting point since all the stations are easily accessible from there. However, you're free to jump into the game at any station you like.
How do you navigate? Your smartphones will be your compass. To kick off the Zurich Scavenger Hunt, just log into our myCityHunt app with your mobile internet and tickets, which are available in our online shop. You'll be ready to go in no time, making this the ideal last-minute adventure.
Getting started is a breeze. Once logged in, appoint your team leader. This person will take on the crucial role of receiving GPS routes and assigning roles for the event. Who will be the photographer, the trivia whiz, or the walking encyclopedia? Depending on the character you choose, you'll get special tasks tailored to your role during the Hunt.
Once roles are assigned, the Scavenger Hunt in Zurich begins. Your smartphones will show you all the stations involved in the Hunt. Each location presents a puzzle that requires teamwork to solve. The tasks vary but are always connected to the city and your surroundings. For instance, can you interpret ancient inscriptions? Can you spot mysterious symbols carved into stone ages ago? These and many other challenges await you.
The app also provides fascinating background information about the city's landmarks. The Hunt is designed to take you past many of these sites, which also serve as the backdrop for your puzzles. Be prepared to uncover secrets that even long-time residents might not know, making our Zurich Scavenger Hunt a great activity for locals and visitors alike.
Tasks are designed to give both Zurich natives and out-of-towners an equal shot at solving them. Combining your team's strengths—historical knowledge, keen observation, and sharp intellect—is key to success.
