Walk beside young Albert Einstein through the Zurich he knew as a student. This self-guided exploration game leads you from St. Peter's church with Europe's largest clock face, through the old town's hidden lanes, past Lenin's former apartment and a medieval sundial, up to ETH, where Einstein studied and later taught, while clues reveal how a daydreaming boy learned to walk with time.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 1.6 km and takes around 1 hour, with no time limit.
