The "Swiss Games" app is a collection of three games: Swiss Twist, Heidi on the Move and Swiss Shots.
Swiss Twist combines an age-old musical tradition with futuristic design and encourages you to take up music-making yourself. The skill lies in twisting the bowl just the right amount. The coin is dropped into the bowl and you must try and keep it turning as long as possible to collect a maximum haul of “Swiss Coins”
In Heidi on the Move you will pass by well-known Swiss landmarks and various background images, each one on a different subject: town/culture, mountains/sport, transport/energy, politics/history and research/economy. This classic platform game requires you to steer Heidi over several obstacles and the different landscapes in order to collect as many “Swiss Coins” as possible. As you move around each of the five areas, you will jump over or slide under several keywords that sum up the character and values of Switzerland.
Swiss Shots allows you to become a 21st century William Tell. The camera on the mobile device functions as a virtual crossbow that is used to hit real postcards featuring icons of Swiss design. Concealed behind each postcard are fascinating facts about the given design classic.
The Swiss Coins can be exchanged for special in-game rewards.
