In Lausanne and beyond, a roaming fox has turned the city itself into a riddle. Foxtrail invites participants to follow cryptic clues through streets, onto buses, and past overlooked corners of urban life — not to win, but to truly see. It is, at its heart, an old idea made new: that the best way to understand a place is to be made curious about it.
