Foxtrail Baccarat in Rapperswil is a clue-hunt along the lake with tricky tasks, secret messages, and English plus German puzzles.
“We booked the longer version and that paid off. It was a good experience and we had a lot of fun. However, improvements/repairs are needed here and there. Graduation was very anticlimactic. The last puzzle cannot be played due to damage. The hoped-for experience of success was thus a little absent.Auto-translated”
Zurich Foxtrail Odysseus is a 2.5-hour clue hunt through old-town corners, the Limmat, gardens, and art windows, led by Odysseus.
“the foxtrail is great. But the logistic with Viator was very poor. Although the payment was taken, my booking was not passed so that we could take part. I therefore had to spend an extra hour on the day ordering again. I am in the process of requesting a refund from Viator.”

“Traveling with 17 college students and wanted a fun way for them to get to know the city. This was perfect. Most groups finished in about 90 minutes and the pictures from their explorations were great. College leaders also enjoyed, but took a more leisurely pace and finished in 3 hours (we had to try the Calvinus beer after learning about it!). Have decided to use program again at our next stop in Lucerne.”
