“ was designed in a way so that smart and witty players could find and use little tricks to their advantage,” he says, noting that some players off-zone areas as routes later in the game since they slowly drained life but didn’t kill them-so near the end, they could be an effective escape. The last player standing- Zürich’s own Markus Liechti, who survived the competition with just 2.8 percent of his energy left to spare-won the car that chased everyone around the city. Once that energy meter hit 0 percent, players were “dead” and out of the game. If a player got too close to the car, their energy meter would run down. Instead, each contestant was required to download an app, which kept track of their location via GPS and showed them where the predatory car was in real time on a map. No, the car didn’t actually mow anybody down. More than 3,200 players scattered throughout the streets of the city to evade a “hunter” stalking them in a Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake. On that day, thanks to a partnership between Swiss “mixed-reality game studio” Gbanga, Mercedes-Benz, and Jeff Communications, the streets of Zürich turned into a giant manhunt. Well, you could if you were in town this past May 29. Alternatively, you could spend the day being chased around the city by a Mercedes in a frantic game of “Assassin.” You can visit the opera house, take a walk by the lake, or gorge yourself on chocolate and luxury watches. There are plenty of relaxing things to do in Zürich, Switzerland.
