Itinerary
Starting at Lucerne's train station on the lakefront, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head for the water. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Kapellbrücke steals the opening scene — the 14th-century wooden bridge angling across the Reuss, its gable paintings telling the city's story. Riddles walk the planks with you. In the old town, the Fritschibrunnen fountain guards carnival traditions older than most countries. Trivia asks who Fritschi actually was — locals still debate it. Then the Hofkirche raises its twin needle spires, survivor of a fire that took everything else. The courtyard views earn the climb. Around two hours between lake and Alps. The leaderboard settles it all with Swiss neutrality.

The voice is an irritating AI generated game. Not a walking tour. We abandoned after the first “stop”. Don’t recommend if you want a guided walking tour.
Such a great & fun way to explore the city!
We just did it with my husband and myself and it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it and it was a great way to get to know the city and play a game at the same time
We had a one on one tour experience! Very knowledgeable tour guide who had a passion for the history in Lucerne. Making our own chocolate bar was a unique experience! The boat ride is audio guided and you can go any time that fits your schedule that day. Cost is high.
Great way to find the gems of the city. Only bad was the Lion was being restored/cleaned and was all covered up.
Excellent activity! We were searching for fun activities to do in Luzern, when an ad popped in our browser about this app. We totally recommend
This place looks like it came out of a Disney movie. Besides it’s beauty, it has a lot of history to discover. Nice app, we will use it for other cities. Kids approved!
Had a blast walking around, getting to know the city, its history, and simple curiosities. No time pressure, so we could stop here and there to check a store or get a beer. It's definitely the best way to know the city: it's entertaining and at our own pace. Recommend it.
Lucerne is a lovely city! We found the app Explorial and decided to give it a try. It was a time well spent and super fun. We love and recommend this self-guided tour.
Learning about the city was so much fun! The puzzles were also difficult enough to keep us engaged. A great way to (re)discover Lucerne for tourists and why not for locals.
Loved discovering Luzern with Explorial! Loads of fun and amazing views :) Definetely doing another Explorial :)
This was a poorly run scavenger hunt. You have to download two apps just to get started. Finding the sights was fine but then there are tons of trivia questions that are not based upon the sight itself (you’d have to Google the answers). Lots of backtracking involved and the hunt doesn’t cover many of the sights in Lucerne. Very disappointing.
Cool idea to get to know a city better. It is also interesting to do in your own city
Good if you are traveling alone.
Even if you know Lucerne, you will learn exciting information on this trail and you will get far around.
A nice way to discover the city and learn about it at the same time! You puzzle questions are not too hard. Highly recommended!
Belle activité à faire en gang pour découvrir la ville de Lucerne !!! Je vous le conseille sans hésitation
Wunderschöne Stadt und gut gewählte Route. Wir haben versteckte Orte in Luzern entdeckt die wir so noch nicht gekannt haben. Es war ein toller Familienausflug.
Very fun and practical. We are used to taking several guided tours in Europe and we are a little tired of the same format. This app is simple, fun and available at any time!
