Team building in Nyon
A smartphone treasure hunt in the Roman city of Leman, starting at 33 CHF/person, for 6 to 3000 participants.
Between the Roman columns of the Esplanade des Marronniers and the white towers of the castle overlooking Lake Geneva, Nyon offers a rare setting for team building. Our smartphone scavenger hunt transforms the old town, its cobblestone streets, and its flower-lined quays into a life-sized playground: your employees split into small teams, solve riddles rooted in local heritage, and rediscover the city halfway between Geneva and Lausanne from an unexpected perspective.
Nyon, a former Roman colony and the capital of La Côte, blends history, vineyards, and lakeside charm within a compact area perfect for exploring on foot. From the Musée du Léman to the harbor, the Grand-Rue, and the region's wine cellars, each stop on the route reveals an anecdote, a photo opportunity, or a team challenge. Our team building activities in Nyon require no app installation and no heavy logistics: arrive at Place du Château, scan, and play.

How does the treasure hunt in Nyon work?
The concept is simple and requires no complicated setup. Your teams meet at Place du Château, receive the tour link on their smartphones, and set off through the old town. At each stop, a riddle, a photo challenge, or a trivia question leads them to the next location: the Roman columns on the Esplanade des Marronniers, the shores of Lake Geneva, and the Grand-Rue shopping street. The City Explorer can be played independently via the app, or with a City Games facilitator on-site for groups that prefer a more structured experience. Plan on about 2.5 hours of gameplay, featuring real-time leaderboard updates and a friendly debrief at the finish line—with an optional lakeside terrace.
Why Nyon for your corporate outing
Nyon ticks all the boxes for a successful team-building event on La Côte. Exactly halfway between Geneva and Lausanne, it's accessible by a ten-minute train ride or the A1 highway exit, a valuable asset when your employees come from all over the Lake Geneva region. The historic center is entirely walkable, eliminating the need for any transportation logistics during the activity. And the scenery does the rest: a postcard-worthy white chateau, a Roman heritage unique to French-speaking Switzerland, flowery quays, and the vineyards of La Côte as a backdrop. Enough to transform a simple outing into a memorable experience.
For what occasions
The treasure hunt in Nyon is suitable for most team events: annual company outing, team-building day, seminar extended into the afternoon, new employee onboarding, departmental team building, or year-end event. The format works just as well for a small team of 6 people as it does for a large group of up to 3,000 participants spread across multiple simultaneous routes. The riddles and pace are adjusted to your audience, and an indoor alternative is available in case of unfavorable weather, decided upon up to 48 hours in advance.
Zones and surrounding areas explored
The route weaves a thread between Nyon's iconic landmarks. Starting from the Place du Château and the old town with its cobblestone lanes, it follows the Marronniers esplanade and its Roman columns with a panoramic view of the lake, descends towards the port, the shores of Lake Geneva, and the Lake Geneva Museum, then climbs back up via the Grand-Rue and the central squares. As an extension, the vineyards and cellars of La Côte, located between Nyon and Rolle, offer an ideal setting to conclude the day with a tasting. We also operate throughout the region: Gland, Prangins, Coppet, Rolle, or Morges can host your event upon request.
