How does the treasure hunt work?
You can get the instructions for the treasure hunt at the Swiss Post branch. If the branch is closed, you will find a yellow Swiss Post safe with a combination lock near the entrance (see picture).
The code for the combination lock is Swiss Post’s birth year. The safe contains an envelope with the treasure hunt instructions.
The instructions are available on-site in French. All languages are also available for download below. To take part in the competition, don’t forget to bring your documents (including downloads) with you on the treasure hunt.

A foundation based on trust: postal voting and e-voting
Every year, around four million voters take part in federal elections and referendums via Swiss Post. This demonstrates the trust that Swiss Post enjoys among the population.
Now Swiss Post has developed an e-voting system. This was tested successfully and without incident in three cantons during federal elections and referendums in 2023. The foundations of e-voting are cryptography and an encryption technique that guarantees the authenticity and confidentiality of digital data.
