Escape Games

Solve tricky puzzles

Customized team-building experiences

Escape games are suitable for small groups as well as for events with several hundred participants. Whether outdoors or at our Gurten location: you choose the format that works best for you, and we provide excitement, energy, and a shared sense of accomplishment.

Five missions are available—equipped with high-quality gadgets, clever riddles and challenges that can only be solved as a team. The activities promote communication, creativity, and strategic thinking, creating a shared experience that fosters lasting connections.

Exciting game variations for every event

Participants immerse themselves in different roles and worlds:

  • as agents on a secret special mission with the goal of saving the Gurten
  • as an expedition team in search of the legendary Aztec gold
  • as a research group deciphering the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci

The escape games are organized in cooperation with Outdoor Escape Games and Challengebox Games.

Participants 2 to 1'000 people

Games with or without a Game Master

For a smooth and high-quality gaming experience, we recommend using a Game Master for groups of 24 or more. The Game Master explains the rules, guides you through the game, and hosts an awards ceremony with prizes. In exceptional cases – such as with very small groups – the game can also be booked without a Game Master.

Dive into an exciting adventure together—with modern augmented reality challenges and a range of cool gadgets. Equipped with a tablet, you’ll experience an immersive escape game on the Gurten where you can fully live out your James Bond fantasies.

Game description
Deep in the jungle of Bern’s local mountain lies an ancient secret – but not for much longer! Your team takes on the role of explorers following the trail of the legendary Maya and Aztec cultures. Your goal: track down hidden artifacts, solve tricky puzzles, and secure the legendary Aztec gold treasure – before another team does. The clock is ticking! Solve as many challenges as possible, secure the hidden treasures, and crown yourselves the winning team.

You’ll solve a series of puzzles from a challenge box filled with locks, secret compartments, and physical objects. Once everything has been deciphered, you’ll receive the code for the Da Vinci device. A tablet with augmented reality is also part of the game and links digital clues to the real-world objects. It is precisely this blend of hands-on puzzles and digital interaction that sets the Da Vinci Mission apart from other, more outdoor-oriented games.

Immerse yourselves in the world of the universal genius: As a research team, you set out to decipher the life and legacy of Leonardo da Vinci. In a historic room on Bern’s local mountain, you discover a mysterious chest containing four locked suitcases and an artifact that reveals hidden clues.

What begins as a competition turns into a shared adventure. Interaction and team spirit are at the heart of the experience, because only when all groups combine the codes they have earned will the drawers of the secret apparatus open. Step by step – using a blueprint and the combined strength of all teams – a functional apparatus emerges that brings Leonardo’s work to life.
