Self-led Einstein scavenger game in Zurich. Solve 11 puzzles, learn science and city history, and walk major landmarks for $7.21.
“I think this tour would be fun for families with kids, but it probably isn't right for science types who are seeking some Einstein biographical trivia (what I thought it would be). The puzzles were somewhat fun, but a little un-even. And engineers who want precisely defined relativity problems will be frustrated.”

Explore Bern with a self-guided smartphone scavenger hunt to key sights like the Bundeshaus, Zytglogge, and Rathaus, in multiple languages.
“Positive: A great idea to get to know the city in an entertaining way, especially for the little ones. We all liked it a lot. The negative: only one person in the group was on the Internet and the others could not even enter the application, however I think it was not necessary because one person downloading it is enough and in the end it would have been cheaper. Maybe they should set a price for the app and always charge the same regardless of the number of people. I also think they should include the river in some way. Maybe visiting the spa.Auto-translated”
