Zurich Einstein Quest: Self-guided Family Walk

Terrible directions, very little to actually see. Ended up using google maps to get to most of the points on the map. Maybe kids would enjoy it, I didn’t. Do voice map instead

The link did not work. The link was blocked and logging in did nothing. So I was unable to experience the activity. I went on a nature walk instead.

I was visiting Zurich during a layover. It was early morning so I wasn't able to catch a group tour. This was a fun way to explore the city quickly. If you want, there is also a competitive aspect to the puzzles, but you don't have to play them that way if you don't want to. Lots of lovely photo opportunities as well.

We did not enjoy this experience. There was a lot of walking and directions were not always clear. The app also crashed right at the end and we were never able to actually finish it

It is a fun way to see the city. There is a story and you learn some science on the way. You go to places you might not otherwise see.

I think it’s a good experience and totally worth it. I would have not seen some places if it was not for this little game. It also gives some background and historical importance of places.

It felt like I saw a lot of the important things you want to se on a tour, the puzzles were just difficult enough. I had a lot of fun I highly recommend anyone that is in Zurich to do this tour/game.

Great game! Try it! Takes you through the city. You get to see things that you otherwise wouldn't notice.

An interesting game to explore Zurich! It was a great way to get to know the old-city and learn much more about it. Thanks to the self-guided app we could plan our time in the best way for us, which was very convenience. The tour was very intersting and took us to beautiful places we would never arrive elsewise. The game is full of chanlleging riddles (though you may use the hints anytime), which made it much more interesting and fun for us. Highly recommneded for anyone seeking a fun new way to explore the city.

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.

We did this tour as a time filler on one of our last days in Zurich. It was really fun! We got to see parts of the city that we otherwise would have missed. Being able to stop and take a break at any time was handy. We stopped for a glass of wine when we got stuck on a clue ;). My husband said he would have liked more history about the city included but overall we enjoyed the experience.

Super cool and interesting way to see some sights and learn some facts along the way. Good idea to do it in an app form. Very time efficient too 👍

Fun way to explore. Never figured out one clue. Hints were very much needed for us but always there to help. Thanks.

Such a great idea and fun game to play to get to know Zürich. I recommend. It’s a lovely story and it takes you around some great and beautiful spots

We had a good time exploring the old city in Zurich. The story around the quest was, fun, entertaining and insightful. Definitely a good way to explore and learn a bit about the city you are visiting.

Nice if you do not know what to do, but if you have alternatives i suggest you do something else instead.

It became a habit already to check if there is a Questo in all the cities we visit. Before booking any other guided tours of searching info on blogs, we do a Questo first :) Until now, it was a great way to discover a city (with a child also). The main historical or cultural points were always on the tours we took. Plus, great "hidden gems" such as small pathways,or tiny streets,or amazing decorations on some buildings This Questo in Zurich also had an educational edge besides the obvious touristic one - it gave some information on the work Einstein did, so it opened further research and deeper conversation between my 10 year old son and myself. Surelly recommend The clues we sometimes challenging, but in the good way, as they challenged us to think harder and to expand our perceptions :) Great tour - actually all questo tours we tried so far were great :)

On a day trip to Zürich we’ve decided to take on this little quiz. It was a great way to get to know the city but it also took us back to the school years where we had to think out of the box :) loved it. Have recommended it to our friends.

I invited a group of friends and we decided to explore the city a different way. Even though we are from Zurich, the quest was a really entertaining way to explore the city through a certain theme. We had some hurdles on the way but that was what made it fun! The quest was built up easily. And let’s not forget how educational the whole experience was for us! Albert was indeed a very interesting man.

Very good idea, First time to try this and it was amazing overall, Needs some improvements but you will enjoy it very much.

Good walking path around the city in an interesting way- nothing spectacular though nor incredibly Einstein oriented with the locations you go to. Fun nonetheless!

Experience, very pleasant, allows you to discover the small streets of Zurich, while having fun. I recommend doing it.

Dieser Trail hat eine sehr benutzertunfreundlichen Start. Die Hotline war nicht bedient. der Chatbot hatte auch keine Antwort. Naja. schön wenns bei den anderen Teilnehmern klappt. Zweimal bezahlt und dann konnten wir starten. Sosolala war unser Erlebnis.

It was written that the tour lasted about 1h30 to 2h and we had so much difficulty that it took us more than 2h30. The questions were sometimes complex to solve (though it seemed to us that it was for children...) and did not necessarily relate to each other, or at least to the context of play, in our opinion. Navigating with the directions to find the places was not so obvious: we had to use a GPS several times because the directions were not clear enough in our opinion.
