An outdoor escape game for your teams in Bern
No more closed rooms: our escape game takes place outdoors in Bern’s Old Town. With smartphones in hand, your teams will decipher clues and solve puzzles as they make their way from the Münster to the medieval arcades, working together against the clock. It’s the perfect way to bring a group together and test their communication skills—and we can move the activity indoors if the weather calls for it. City Games takes care of everything, for groups ranging from 6 to 3,000+ participants.

WHY FRIBOURG
Why Bern is ideal for an escape game
An outdoor escape game pushes cooperation to its limits: under the pressure of the clock, each team sorts through clues, divides roles, and discusses their ideas. In Bern, medieval heritage becomes the backdrop for extraordinary riddles, where facades, fountains, and mechanisms tell a story to be decoded. Our game masters adjust the difficulty so that the fun never fades.
