Switzerland>Geneva>The Geneva Timepiece
Step into Geneva, 1886 — a city ticking with innovation, elegance, and quiet rivalry.

You are Maxime Leroy, apprentice to a brilliant master watchmaker whose greatest creation has been shattered in the night by a jealous rival. Eleven fragments of the legendary Geneva Timepiece are now scattered across the city’s most iconic and secret corners.

From the thunderous spray of the Jet d’Eau to hushed cathedral stones and winding Old Town passages, your mission is clear: recover every piece before sunset and save your master’s life's work from being lost forever.

Follow clues etched into history, solve puzzles hidden in plain sight, and feel time itself guiding your journey through the birthplace of Swiss precision.

In a city where every second counts — will your wit and determination be enough to bring the Timepiece back to life?
