Schloss Thun
A medieval castle in Thun, Switzerland, overlooking Lake Thun and the Alps.
Today, Schloss Thun invites visitors into an immersive journey through medieval life, regional history, and cultural heritage — and now offers an interactive treasure map Adventure Quest designed to deepen that experience.
About the Castle
Schloss Thun is one of the most important historical landmarks in the region. Its museum exhibitions present medieval life, regional history, and cultural heritage in a remarkable architectural setting above Lake Thun.
The location offers an authentic historical atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for a carefully integrated exploration experience.
What We Created
For Schloss Thun, we developed a fully interactive treasure map Adventure Quest designed to enhance the visitor experience through exploration, storytelling, and learning within a medieval castle environment.
The experience was created in three languages — German, English, and French — and structured into two difficulty levels, making it suitable both for families with children and for more curious, detail-oriented visitors.
The Adventure Quest is available for purchase directly at the entrance as an add-on experience alongside the standard admission ticket.
Experience Concept
We created a non-digital, station-based treasure hunt across the castle, carefully integrated into the historic architecture and atmosphere. The experience follows a traditional treasure map format, guiding visitors through different points of interest inside the castle.
