Looking for something to do at your company Christmas party? In «Operation Christmas Market», your team solves tricky puzzles at Zurich’s Christmas markets during Advent – with a tablet, gadgets and, on request, two mulled wines or punches along the way. A Christmas event that combines an escape room with a scavenger hunt and fits perfectly before your Christmas dinner.
This year there are three games to choose from: put Bad Santa behind bars in «Hacked», help Santa and his elves in «North Pole Calling», or take on our new Christmas challenge «The Revelation», the sequel to our classic. Suitable for small teams from 2 people up to large events with 500 participants – in Zurich or anywhere in Switzerland on request.
Difficulty level: 4/5
The sequel to «Hacked»: no sooner is Bad Santa behind bars than the truth comes out – the evidence used to convict him was faked. Now Santa Claus himself stands trial, while his sinister servant Schmutzline keeps pulling the strings in the background. Find the real evidence before the verdict is announced. Because without Santa there are no presents, no Christmas lights, no Christmas. The trickiest Christmas adventure in Zurich – ideal for teams with escape room experience.
Difficulty level: 3/5
The leader of Bad Santa Inc. has successfully escaped from the prison of the wise elves, aiming to sabotage Christmas and extinguish its lights once and for all. It is up to you earthlings to stop the ultimate villain. Experience the most interactive outdoor Christmas event in Zurich! In “HACKED”, you cleverly steal from opposing teams, ensuring maximum cross-team interaction during this unique team-building event (recommended for two or more teams).
