On our Detective-Trails you can get to know different cities, places or regions in a creative and playful way. The Detective-Trails are available in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. The Detective-Trails are also available in Germany and Austria – separate website (www.detektiv-trails.de<\/a>).
On our treasure hunts you will learn many interesting and surprising facts about the place you are visiting. Each Detective-Trail begins at a specific starting point, where you have to solve the first riddle. From there you follow the directions, just like in a scavenger hunt. Path pictures or map sections help you to find the following ridles. A treasure hunt consists of about 12 to 16 riddles. All questions can be solved on the spot with the help of clues (nothing is built or glued, etc.). As soon as you have mastered all the riddles, you have to calculate the four-digit solution code. With this solution code you will receive a small gift. You will find the small gift in a treasure chest on site, it will be sent to you later or you will receive a voucher which you can exchange for a small gift on site.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There are four different Detective-Trail options:<\/p>

Detective-Trail with Treasure Chest
<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>
With this Detective-Trail version, there is a treasure chest at the end of the riddle tour. You need the four-digit solution code to open the treasure chest and take your gift out of it. If a treasure chest is not accessible, we will gladly send the gifts to you. Each paying person gets to choose a small gift from the treasure chest.<\/em><\/p>

Detective- Trail with re-shipment
\"\"<\/a>
<\/strong>With this Detective-Trail version, Detective Badger will send your gift home by post afterwards (shipping only within Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein). So there is neither a treasure chest nor a voucher at the end of the riddle tour.
You will find the information about the postage on the game documents after purchasing the Detective-Trail.<\/p>

With an online downloadable gift
<\/strong>\"Icon
With this <\/span>Detective-Trail version, you will receive a digital gift to download as your reward. <\/span>You will find the information and the download link at the end of the trail, once you have successfully solved all the riddles.<\/span><\/p>

Detective-Trail with voucher
<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>
With this Detective-Trail version, you will receive a voucher at the end of the riddle tour, which you can exchange for a small gift at the destination or a partner organisation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Detective-Trails are designed for children and adults – with support, the trails can be solved from around 6 years of age, alone the questions can be solved from around 12 years of age. Each trail is marked with a different level of difficulty (easy, medium, difficult), which is indicated in the product overview. The Detective-Trails are ideal for families, grandparents, schools, birthday parties, companies and clubs.<\/p>

You can decide after purchase<\/a> whether you want to play with the print version or with the web app.<\/p>

You can buy the printable paper version on our website for as many people as you like. It is best to download the Detective Trail Print Map just before the game starts so that you have the latest version of the Detective-Trail-Print-Map. To do this, log on to the website, go to “Games & Trails”, click on the Detective-Trail you bought and download the trail under “Download print version”.<\/p>

The Detective-Trail print map consists of about 10-15 pages, contains a short introduction, the trail descriptions and the riddle questions. You can write down your answers to the riddle questions. After the last riddle question you will find the page to calculate the solution code.<\/p>

You can decide after purchase<\/a> whether you want to play with the print version or the web app.
To be able to play the game in the web app at all, you must accept the necessary cookies on our website.<\/p>

To play with the web app, go to the purchased game (under My Account – Games & Trails) and open the web app after the game instructions page with the button “Online version”.
You will be guided from one riddle to the next in the web app. It is important that you have solved all the riddles in order to receive the code for the treasure chest at the end.<\/p>

If you want to go back to a riddle or look at the directions again, you can select the desired riddle (no.) with the map button at the top right.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Of course you can also book the Detective-Trails for a large group.
In this case, we recommend playing with the print Detective-Trail map. Simply select the number of people who want to complete the trail in the online shop and download the print Detective-Trail map. It is best to divide larger groups into sub-groups of 5 people each and have them start at short intervals. We recommend one or two printouts per group of 5. For groups of 4 or 10 or more, you will receive a reduction on the standard price.
A special rate is available for schools on request.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
