The 15 Best City Trail Games in Switzerland

1.Baden Foxtrail Aquae

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47Our pick

Foxtrail Aquae sends your private group through Baden’s historic center and along the water, following clues tied to a wild robot, the town’s last prisoner, old hotels, and people in dressing gowns. Expect a 2.5-hour puzzle walk with moderate physical demands, playful discoveries, and a few tricky instructions.

“Great city, beautiful places. But somehow that doesn't fit with the theme and the common thread and a tension arc are missing. the last item is also right next to a road from my densely very poorly chosen. Baden has historical and technical to offer, the linking is not successful here in my view.”

2.Lugano Fox Trail Galileo

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 18 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Start at Lugano station and follow a puzzle trail toward the city center. You will hunt for a green chest, save knights, decode old characters, follow blood traces, and tackle hands-on posts. Expect steep walking, scenic viewpoints, and route changes that may affect the funicular and final puzzle.

“The Foxtrail was disappointing compared to other cities. Walk to the puzzles was ok, so were the puzzles themselves. But too expensive for what was offered. No public transport, only 2 items that need "maintenance". We like to do another Foxtrail but not in Lugano. There are other offers for less money. Too badAuto-translated”

9.Bern Scavenger Hunt and Sights Self-Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $18

“Positive: A great idea to get to know the city in an entertaining way, especially for the little ones. We all liked it a lot. The negative: only one person in the group was on the Internet and the others could not even enter the application, however I think it was not necessary because one person downloading it is enough and in the end it would have been cheaper. Maybe they should set a price for the app and always charge the same regardless of the number of people. I also think they should include the river in some way. Maybe visiting the spa.Auto-translated”

15.Basel Foxtrail Yellow

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $46

“We did the foxtrail in a group of four on a cloudy sunday. In the beginning the journey wasn't very exciting, poor quiz and little highlights, but after one hour it went much better. We came into the city with advanced quiz and crazy views. The best part was the end in the older part of Great Basel. Highlights on the tour were the hydraulic power station and the SMS-bell in the middle of the foxtrail. Overall we took three hours to complete all quiz, but the suggestion were 150 mins. It was fun and we want to do another foxtrail again!”
