Kids' Birthday Party in Zurich – Treasure Hunt and Escape Game in the Old Town
Looking for a kids’ birthday party idea in Zurich that the children will talk about for ages? At our outdoor escape games, the birthday guests go on a mission together: they search for Captain Kitt’s treasure, close the magic portal or save the world as secret agents – right in the heart of Zurich’s Old Town. Fresh air, puzzle fun as a team and a birthday no one will forget in a hurry. And best of all: the birthday child plays for free!
A birthday adventure in Zurich's Niederdorf
Our outdoor escape games are the perfect activity for a kids’ birthday party in Zurich. The children play in teams, solve puzzles on the tablet and explore the Old Town along the way. For our youngest players, we have created special children’s routes: they cover around 1.5 km, mainly through the low-traffic Niederdorf – short distances, safe streets and more action between the tasks. On request, you can use our premises at Predigerplatz 22 before or after the game – for cake, presents and snacks.
Which game suits which age?
- Ages 8 to 10: The Magic Portal – our easiest game, with augmented reality and magical creatures – or the treasure hunt Treasure Hunters, where a treasure chest with a surprise awaits at the end.
- Ages 10 to 12: Operation Mindfall is another great option – an exciting secret agent mission for kids who already have a bit more puzzle experience.
Children aged 8 and 9 play with an accompanying adult; from age 10, children can go on the mission on our children’s routes without an adult.
A game all about the birthday child
On request, we add questions about the birthday child to the game: “What is Reto’s favourite football club?” or “Which ice cream does Amelie love most?” The birthday child becomes the star of the mission – and the guests have one more reason to pay attention.

We plan the birthday party from A to Z
Planning a kids’ birthday party takes a lot of time and energy. We are happy to take the organisation off your hands – from decorating the room and serving snacks to ordering the birthday cake. And at the end, our surprise box awaits as the final mission: you can leave goodie bags for the children inside – free of charge and with every game. You sit back and enjoy the party. Get in touch for your personalised birthday experience.
The Magic Portal – ages 8+
Danger lurks from long-forgotten worlds! The portal guardian has been put out of action by a spell, and evil creatures now roam the Old Town. You are the only hope: find the magic crystals and close the portals. Our easiest game – ideal for the youngest players.
Treasure Hunters – ages 8+
Throw yourselves into the adventure, find the lost pieces of the treasure map and put them back together. Only together can you uncover Captain Kitt’s great secret. The grand finale: the kids open the real treasure chest – with a surprise inside!
Operation Mindfall – ages 10+
Spider Technologies has developed a dangerous virus. As secret agents of the organisation W.I.S.E., you must prevent the disaster: follow Dr. Bergmann’s clues, hack into the secret server and stop the audio signal. The perfect mission for kids aged 10 and over who are looking for a real challenge.
