After the tour, participants can use their newly-acquired knowledge to solve a puzzle and win attractive prizes in the process. The audio experience in Basel includes three stories for different age groups:

  • the story for youth as of 11 years old called "Bettina and Dani: Two climate friends in Basel" shows Basel and the diverse climate involvement of the city through the eyes of the two main speakers
  • "Lisa and the Penguin" for children from five years old and up has an animal protagonist. A small penguin runs away from the Basler Zolli to see the world. In the process, he meets a little girl called Lisa, who takes him on a bicycle to show him her city.

The ca. two and a half hour tour starts in the railway station concourse. The route takes visitors to a total of eleven stations, past the most beautiful squares and into the middle of interesting districts.
