A late-afternoon sky over Lake Geneva throws long reflections against cobblestones as your team downloads a single code and steps into the old town. Lantern-lit alleys and sandstone façades become stages: the city breathes clues, shutters shutter secrets, and a two-hour clock begins to tick. You move between plazas, family houses and hidden corners, piecing together four code words before the platform—real or imagined—closes forever.

A late-afternoon sky over Lake Geneva throws long reflections against cobblestones as your team downloads a single code and steps into the old town. Lantern-lit alleys and sandstone façades become stages: the city breathes clues, shutters shutter secrets, and a two-hour clock begins to tick. You move between plazas, family houses and hidden corners, piecing together four code words before the platform—real or imagined—closes forever.
The game threads through Geneva’s layered past. The Old Town sits on glacial alluvium at the lake’s edge; beneath its streets lie medieval cellars and narrow passageways that inspired real-life rumors of secret routes. During the Reformation Geneva became a center of civic order and civic stories; the city’s noble houses and servant quarters referenced in the scenario reflect that social geography.
Expect 1–3 miles of mostly flat walking on paved or cobbled streets, intermittent stairs and public squares. Puzzles mix observation, local lore and smartphone-driven tasks, so orientation and timing are part of the challenge. The route uses public streets and accessible paths—teams can pause for coffee, photos, or to consult maps.
Practical tips: download the official app and charge your phone; wear sturdy walking shoes; plan to start with at least two hours of uninterrupted time and avoid peak tourist crush in July–August if you want quieter clues. The experience is social and low-impact—respect private courtyards, keep noise reasonable, and leave public spaces as you found them.
