Zürich under Dark Magic: Walking Tour & Escape Game

4.88 (17 ratings)
🇬🇧🇩🇪🇳🇱
Zürich is under a spell. Shadows slip through the streets, the Grossenmünster church burns with eerie light, and strange creatures stir in the streets. The High Mage has chosen you. If the city is to be saved, it is you who must do it.

Your mission: learn magic spells, fight dark creatures, gather relics of power, and brew the potion that will banish the darkness. With each step and every riddle solved, the city loosens the grip of its curse.

This is not just a walk. It is an escape game woven into the stones of the old town. Every clue you crack draws you closer to the last stand at Grossenmünster church, where the fate of the city will be decided.

Will you have the courage to face the dark wizard and restore peace to Zürich?
