Foxtrail is not just a simple scavenger hunt. It’s an exciting search for clues that takes you and your friends or family through the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland. From the winding alleyways of the cities to the idyllic paths of nature, Foxtrail offers a variety of trails waiting to be explored.
Before you set off, however, there are a few important things to bear in mind to ensure that your first Foxtrail experience is a complete success:
1. journey and starting point:
Plan your journey well in advance and, if possible, choose public transport. Note that some starting points may not be accessible by car. Check the start times and choose a route that suits your preferences.
2. starting documents:
Print out the start documents in colour and bring them with you to the start point. These contain important information about the trail and are essential for solving the puzzles along the way. Don’t forget to take a pen with you to mark clues and solve tasks.
3. mobile device:
Take your smartphone with you on the trail and make sure your mobile device is fully charged. The web app will be needed during the trail for check-in and check-out, as well as to get clues, solve puzzles and ask for help if necessary.
4. suitable clothing and shoes:
Choose comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather conditions. Layers are ideal so that you can adapt to changes. Don’t forget to wear suitable shoes for hiking or long walks.
5. provisions:
Pack enough water and snacks to stay hydrated and energised during the trail. Small snacks can also help to stave off hunger on longer distances.
6. pay attention to the weather:
Check the weather forecast for the day of your trail and dress accordingly. Don’t forget to bring sun and rain protection if necessary. If the weather conditions are unfavourable, you can rebook your Foxtrail for another day up to 24 hours before the start via MyAccount (accessible via the confirmation email).
7. stay alert:
Pay attention to clues and hidden details throughout the trail. Teamwork and communication are key to solving the puzzles and not losing Fredy Fox’s trail.
8. plan breaks:
Plan breaks during the trail to rest, eat and enjoy the surroundings. Use this opportunity to take photos and experience the beauty of nature.
9. safety:
Stay on the marked trails and respect nature. Avoid risky behaviour and follow the instructions on the trail.
10. have fun:
Above all, enjoy your first Foxtrail adventure! It’s not just about solving the puzzles, it’s also about spending time with friends or family, exploring the surroundings and creating unforgettable memories.
