Dark History Geneva: Self-Guided Exploration Game

Play a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played outdoors, in the streets of Geneva. You'll explore across 12 iconic locations while following a dark royal saga filled with political intrigue. At each location, you'll be solving a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on various elements such as monuments, graffiti, and facades. The game is mainly focused around the historical city center but includes also picturesque neighborhoods and lesser-known alleys.

Starting from the Temple de Saint-Gervais, the stops are spaced an average of around 300m apart, with each location taking around 10 min to complete. The route also passes through Musée Rath, Reformation Wall and Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève. At every stop, the app unlocks a new chapter and guides people to the next location. Are you ready to face Geneva’s dark past and learn about Empress “Sisi”'s stabbing?

DISCLAIMER: You will explore by yourself using the Questo app on your phone. No physical guide or stranger groups will be involved. The full route covers approximately 3.3 km and takes around 2h 30min to complete. You can play it any day, at any time. Languages available: EN, FR.
