Top 15 Scavenger Hunts in Switzerland

1.Einstein in Zurich: Walk in Time Exploration Game and Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 25 reviews · 1 hour 40 minutes (approx.) · from $7Our pick

A self-guided Einstein in Zurich puzzle walk with 11 app challenges, central landmarks like Münsterbrücke and Paradeplatz, English audio.

“I think this tour would be fun for families with kids, but it probably isn't right for science types who are seeking some Einstein biographical trivia (what I thought it would be). The puzzles were somewhat fun, but a little un-even. And engineers who want precisely defined relativity problems will be frustrated.”
