Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Neuchâtel
To create a treasure hunt in Neuchâtel, the places are already there: Château de Neuchâtel, Collégiale de Neuchâtel, Tour des Prisons. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Neuchâtel, the quest is still to be written

Neuchâtel stretches along the lakeshore, below the hill where the castle and the collegiate church stand. A few steps away, the Tour des Prisons, a medieval relic, guards the top of the old town, while the Fontaine de la Justice marks the Croix-du-Marché. The town hall, with its columned facade, and the lake edge below complete the route. Neuchâtel has no quest yet: its compact old town is waiting for a first trail game.
Three possible quests in Neuchâtel
The castle and collegiate church hill
A heritage route that climbs the hill: castle courtyard, collegiate church facade, a view over the lake. Teams compare stonework, coats of arms and towers to unlock each stop.
Fountains and statues for families
Children look for the fountains of the old town, starting with the Fontaine de la Justice and its statue, and note colours, objects and inscriptions. The walk is short, with breaks on the squares.
An evening of teams around the Tour des Prisons
For a group of friends, an investigation linking the Tour des Prisons, the collegiate church and the town hall, with riddles about fortifications and a finish near the lakeshore.
