Basel Foxtrail Purple
Overview
Did the city of Basel get its name from the mythical animal basilisk? The fox wants to know this and has gone in search of the basilica's egg. The chasers of the fox not only have to find the city's book treasures, but also create art themselves. The trail brings some adventures with it: It goes through the historical center, with the help of chains along the Rhine and if you are lucky you will even meet an alien on the way.

What To Expect
WHAT IS FOXTRAIL?
Foxtrail is an urban adventure in various regions and cities in Switzerland. There are several different, permanently installed trails in each area. Participants follow the footsteps of the fox on foot and with different public transport. His trail consists of tricky tasks, secret messages and hidden clues that have been solved or must be followed to get to the next clue.
HOW DO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE A POST?
Foxtrail should be exciting and amazing, offer variety and be fun. Every trail is unique. That is why all the posts are unique in Switzerland. From the funny post board that is attached to an interesting building to playful furnishings or unique technical items from which messages are elicited in a creative way.
WHAT SHOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO THE FOXTRAIL?
It is essential to take a printed reservation confirmation with a printed barcode, starting documents and a cell phone for each team with you.
