The magical escape game for the whole family – ideal for children aged 8 and over with their parents, godparents or grandparents. Danger lurks from long-forgotten worlds: the portal guardian has been put out of action by a spell, and evil creatures now roam Zurich’s Old Town. Together you uncover the secret of the crystals, master 10 exciting puzzle stations and close the portal before it is too late. The game is deliberately easy and simple to use: the tablet guides you step by step through the mission – ideal for beginners, families and anyone who isn’t a tech expert.
The Magic Portal is a scavenger hunt with augmented reality: magical creatures and clues appear on the tablet right in the real Old Town. It turns a family day out in Zurich into an adventure where children and adults solve the puzzles together. Up to 6 teams can play at the same time – perfect for family gatherings, school classes and a children’s birthday party in Zurich.
Magical moments you are sure to remember.

From age 8. Children aged 8 and 9 play with an accompanying adult; from age 10, children can go on the mission on their own – thanks to our specially designed children’s routes. The puzzles are designed for children and adults to solve together – ideal for families, godparents or grandparents with grandchildren.
Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. The Magic Portal is our easiest outdoor escape game: the puzzles are very manageable and the tablet explains every step.

Yes. For school trips and class outings, we split the class into teams that play at the same time on parallel routes – with an award ceremony at the end. Find out more about school trips in Zurich.
Children aged 8 to 12 play for CHF 26; from age 13 the game costs CHF 36 per person. Younger siblings under 8 play for free – and are warmly welcome! They can join in the searching and guessing and lend a hand with one task or another.
For our youngest players, we have created special routes that lead mainly through Zurich’s Niederdorf. The walking distance is shorter at around 1.5 km, and the streets are low-traffic and safe. That is why children aged 10 and over do not need an accompanying adult – younger children play together with an adult.
Playing time is 120 minutes. On request, we can shorten or extend the game; we recommend at least 60 minutes. Please also allow around 10 minutes for the welcome and introduction and 5 minutes for the wrap-up – with an award ceremony and trophy presentation if two or more teams take part.
We recommend 3 to 5 people per team. Up to 6 teams can play at the same time, head-to-head.
Yes. The children’s route covers around 1.5 km through the low-traffic Niederdorf and is easy to manage with a pushchair (this applies to all routes).
The game takes place in all weather. If it rains, we hand out umbrellas and ponchos.
Yes, gladly. You will find all the details on our children’s birthday page.
