Einstein's Zurich: Self-Guided City Exploration Game

About this experience

Explore Zurich through a story inspired by the young Albert Einstein with this self-guided city game in the Questo app. The route combines puzzles with places connected to the city he knew as a student, leading from St Peter's Church through the Old Town towards ETH. You follow clues rather than join a guide, so the pace is yours to set. At about 1.6 kilometres, it is a manageable route to plan around other Zurich activities, with time for stopping and looking closely. Choose from English, French, German or Italian and unlock the game using your booking instructions. Follow a student’s Zurich Einstein's Zurich gives the city walk a particular theme: discovering places through a narrative about a young thinker and his relationship with time. St Peter's Church and ETH are part of the named route, with the Old Town linking the locations. The game asks you to notice details instead of simply move from one landmark to another. Do not expect a lecturer, a museum guide or a meeting with a costumed actor. The app holds the story and clues, while the streets provide the setting. It is a way to explore independently with a little more direction than an unplanned stroll. Einstein's Zurich: clues at familiar and less familiar places Paradeplatz and the Fraumünster are included among the places described in the game, alongside a medieval sundial and Lenin's former Zurich apartment. Seeing a place on the route is different from receiving an admission ticket for its interior. Stay in public areas and follow the app's instructions for each clue. The route is approximately 1.6 kilometres, but solving puzzles, reading the story and taking breaks add to the walking time. The operator suggests around an hour in the narrative while the variant has a different duration, so keep your schedule flexible rather than rely on a precise finish.
