Einstein in Zurich: Walk in Time Exploration Game and Tour

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

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

Use the Questo app to follow an Einstein-inspired trail through central Zurich. Solve 11 puzzles, learn about the city and basic science ideas, and visit places such as Münsterbrücke and Paradeplatz. The private, self-led game takes about 1 hour 40 minutes and can be paused or resumed.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 17 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes (approx.) · from $7

“Had a lot of fun following the mapped locations to see some wonderful views of Geneva. Most of the riddles/games were a bit childish/easy (or obscurely worded and difficult), but quite fun nonetheless. It’s a nice way to view the city and have a walking tour path with a bit of fun. Highly recommend. It would be awesome to see a more advanced version with fun riddles for adults.”

Also habe ich probiert mit dem Kundenservice Kontakt aufzunehmen, kann man sich auch sparen. Entweder das ist ein Bot oder eine Person die mein Anliegen / Problem nicht verstanden hat. Reagieren auf die Fragen tut auch keiner mehr, es ging drum ob man mir das auch freischalten kann für ein Handy. Bevor ihr an eurem Handy durch die Stadt…”
