Description
Kleinbasel sits across the Rhine from Basel's famous red town hall — and it's where the real locals have always lived. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you across both sides of Basel on foot, with phone-based riddles leading from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Solve clues at the Rathaus, the Bürgerliches Waisenhaus Basel, and the Wettsteinbrücke — three landmarks spanning Basel's civic power, community history, and the Rhine that connects it all • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no booking slot required • Works for families, friend groups, and couples; photo challenges on the Rhine add a scenic competitive edge Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Basel's art fairs and multinationals get all the coverage — the streets between them have the better stories.
