Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Geneva
To create a treasure hunt in Geneva, the places are already there: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Genève, Monument international de la Réformation, Horloge fleurie de Genève. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Geneva, the quest is still to be written
Here is what it could look like: the stops already exist in the city, the riddles do not yet.

Geneva is organised around its harbour, where the lake meets the Rhône, and its stops follow one another almost in a straight line. The old town and the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre stand on the high ground, the Parc des Bastions holds the Monument international de la Réformation, and the quays lead on to the Horloge fleurie, the Pont du Mont-Blanc and the Jet d'eau. A trail game here mixes sloping lanes, parks and a walk along the water. Geneva has no quest yet: the route is still to be created.
Three possible quests in Geneva
Old town and the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre
A heritage route that climbs to the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, circles its forecourt, then drops towards the Parc des Bastions. Teams read facades, inscriptions and coats of arms to unlock each stop.
Rhône and lakeside quays for families
An easy trail for children between the Horloge fleurie, the Pont du Mont-Blanc and the quays: boats and flower beds to spot, short riddles and a flat walk to the Jet d'eau.
An evening between teams around the harbour
For friends or colleagues, a race between teams linking the Monument international de la Réformation, the Horloge fleurie and the Jet d'eau, with one shared meeting point and a ranking at the finish.
Geneva needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
A route that takes residents and visitors from one place to the next, at their own pace, on their phones. You choose the stops and what is told there: the content stays yours.

Association, company, event host
A members’ outing, a team day, a neighbourhood party: start from one of the three ideas and place your stops on the map. The draft costs nothing, the game is paid by use, in credits.

Play elsewhere in the meantimeWhat to know on the ground
The quays are flat, but the old town climbs steeply. Wind can pick up over the harbour, so bring a jacket and keep the stops close to the water for the end of the game.
