Intro

With exciting challenges galore, the “Les Chenapans” scavenger hunt will bring young and old on a trip around the historic old town area of Neuchâtel as they search for wall paintings inspired by the Belle Époque. After 14 stages full of surprises and fun, the smartest players will find their way to the treasure chest and discover its contents. A fun, educational activity that is ideal for class trips or family outings.

Players embark on the trail of various wall paintings dotted about Neuchâtel’s historic old town, answering one question per stage as they are regaled with thrilling anecdotes about life during the Belle Époque period. Equipped with great accessories and a good helping of ingenuity, they will find the clues they need to guide them through the city.

Read a concealed message with a UV light, follow the instructions of an unusual cow, use a magic magnifying glass to decipher a mysterious code or identify anachronisms – these are just some of the challenges that will keep adventurers on their toes along the way. The savvy sleuths that manage to find the treasure chest in the end can look forward to a wonderful surprise – a powerful, team-building moment within the game.

This scavenger hunt, which is aimed at families and schools in particular, is the ideal way to (re)discover the lakeside city of Neuchâtel and its many treasures.
