The game last on average one hour. In larger cities such as Zurich, Lugano, and soon Milan, the game usually takes 75 minutes.

HOW

Sato Code is a multiplayer game, so minimum 2 people. If you are more than 4 you’ll play in multiple teams. We highly recommend a staggered start (5-10 minutes).

Right after buying your tickets you’ll receive an email with your ticket code. Type it in the Sato Code app, reach the starting point displayed in the app and start the game. Remember to charge your battery beforehand.

Everything is up to you, so feel free to experiment, we won’t limit your creativity. Want to bring along a DIY R2-D2 and C3PO? We’re not stopping you.

If you want to beat the record you can, but definitely don’t need to. You can use any form of transportation including an e-scooter but, really, for the best experience, just walk!

You can type your Ticket Code in the Sato Code app as soon as you receive it per e-mail, or you can wait to be at the starting location. Just don’t remove the app from the phone before playing, if you have already entered your code.

You need at least Android version 7.0 or iOS 11.0.

Phones older than 5 years might not get system updates. In this case, download the Sato Code App and open it to see if everything works.

The Sato Code app is your guide along the Trail. It will give different information for each player, let you make choices together with your teammates and help you if you’re lost. You can download it for free from the Apple Store and Google Play.

Sato Code is great for kids to learn logic and soft skills. But the puzzles can be overwhelming, so we recommend to play as a family. If the kids already own a phone, the experience will be even better for them. From 14-16 years they can also play alone.

Kids under 10 come along for free.

WHAT IF

No worries, you can get some hints in the app.

We try to make it possible for everyone, but not all stations are easy to reach so make sure at least one person in your group can move freely.
