Description - Treasure hunt in Nyon – The Mystery of Helvetia
THE MYSTERY OF THE HELVETIA
Nyon, 1858. The Helvetia catastrophe: 16 deaths and 70,000 CHF in compensation intended for the families… mysteriously vanished. 150 years later, you have the opportunity to solve this ancestral cold case and unmask the thief. Luckily, Andrée Kunz, descendant of the famous photographer from Nyon, Louis Kunz, entrusts you with several thousand photographs taken by her ancestor, a faithful witness to daily life in Nyon at the end of the 19th century. Your mission: roam the streets of Nyon, dive into the photographic archives, identify the crook, and unravel the mystery of the Helvetia!
