A Puzzle Trail Hides Clues All Over Lausanne — You Have to Find Them

You receive starting documents that send you hunting through Lausanne's center, lakeside, and northern neighborhoods, solving puzzles and finding hidden clues to reach each checkpoint. The trail mixes physical movement with mental challenges, and a free helpline backs you up if you get stuck. It takes as long as your team needs, and you control the pace entirely.

The Experience

The moment you open the starting documents, you realize this is not a walk where you drift and look at things. A virtual fox has left a trail of puzzles and hidden messages scattered across Lausanne, and your job is to find them, decode them, and use them to reach the next post. The city becomes the game board — you move through the center, down toward Lake Geneva, up to Place du Nord, and the whole time you're reading clues that don't always make sense until you're standing in the right spot. It's a Foxtrail, which sits somewhere between a scavenger hunt, an escape game, and a guided tour, except nobody is guiding you.

What catches most people off guard is how physical it gets. You're not strolling; you're moving with purpose, using all your senses to spot what the fox has hidden. One moment you're decoding a riddle in the theater district, the next you're searching for a detail on a building facade or listening for something that doesn't quite fit. The fox is cunning about it — sometimes the answer is obvious, sometimes it's buried in plain sight. If you get genuinely stuck, there's a free helpline you can call to get back on track, but the whole point is that you have to think as a team, use what you know, and stay sharp.

You'll need at least a moderate level of fitness because the trail covers real distance and real elevation — Lausanne's terrain is not flat. Public transportation is nearby if you need a break, and the whole experience is self-guided, so you move at your own pace and stop when you want. The Foxtrail tickets and starting documents are included, which means you show up, open the envelope, and begin. No guide, no group, just your team and the fox's trail.
