4 Zurich Escape Games Tours to Build an Evening Around

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.”
