About this activity

Neuchâtel is one of Switzerland's overlooked gems — a city with a castle, a fantastical street, and a lake that gives it an almost unfair advantage.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Neuchâtel on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Solve riddles at the Château de Neuchâtel, Une rue fantastique, and the Quai Ostervald — medieval history, architectural surprise, and lakeside elegance

• Walk through Neuchâtel at your own pace with no fixed timetable

• Perfect for couples, families, and groups of any size

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Geneva gets the attention. Neuchâtel gets the last laugh.
