About this experience

Hunt for clues, crack codes and solve puzzles - just like in a great escape room. Peering around for hidden objects, the challenges become increasingly more difficult.
Sato Code is no game for kids: we recommend active participation from the age of 13. You’ll need to unleash all your brainpower to unravel the mystery. Only together with your team of brainiacs, you’ll master this game.
The game unfolds in the city centre, starting at Bahnhofstrasse and going towards Jungfraustrasse. You'll not only pass by Interlaken iconic landmarks but also uncover some hidden gems that only few visitors come across. Don't settle for a usual tourist outing – try this escape game!

A real escape game, distinctly different from a walking tour or scavenger hunt

A game without boundaries: everything can be part of the game

Based on the story "The Omega Codex", uniquely created by our game designers
