Christmas · Experiences shaped around your place
Next Christmas can start with a different idea.
Trails to explore, scenes that respond, buildings that tell a story. We design Christmas experiences for towns, destinations and markets, starting with your places and programme.
It began with a client
The same things, every Christmas?
One day a client told us he was tired of organising and seeing the same things every Christmas in the municipality he managed. Could we use our experience to come up with something different?
That question led to many ideas. A walk past the shops can become a story to complete. A room, a workshop where children make images respond. A building, a place for the town to tell its story. We start with what people will actually do together.
From a question to possibilities
What could happen in your town?
Start with one attraction or connect several places. These examples show tangible activities to design around your audience, spaces and available dates.
The images illustrate the ideas and are AI-generated.
Town centre · Family trail
A story between shops and squares
Four shop windows hold the clues to a Christmas story. Families follow a map and collect a piece at each stop, working towards the ending.
How it works and what it needs
We define the story, stops, materials and paper or digital format. Opening hours and access are part of the plan; a web app can add languages and content.
Indoor or covered space · Shared game
An elf workshop that responds to touch
Children touch projected stars and gears on the wall to prepare presents together or bring the workshop back to life.
How it works and what it needs
Short rounds, reachable targets and an immediate visual response. We check the surface, light, sensor, participant capacity and supervision, then select and test the content and interaction.
Town square · Evening show
Your Christmas story, on a building
Windows and arches become part of an animated story that can draw on local details and history, with short scheduled screenings.
How it works and what it needs
We assess the building, distances, ambient light, sound and equipment. The project includes content composed for the surface and a schedule for technical operation.
Town and market · Paper passport
A postcard completed one stamp at a time
Each stop adds another part of the picture. Families take home an illustration connected to the place they have explored.
How it works and what it needs
Stops can be simple stations or include an activity. We design the illustration, stamps, card alignment, materials and replacements. A phone is optional.
Arcade or covered space · Floor game
A carpet of snow follows your footsteps
Children make stars appear or open paths through projected snow as they walk across the scene. Movement becomes part of the game.
How it works and what it needs
A suitable surface, controlled light, clear play area and protected installation are needed. Christmas graphics and movement responses are defined in the project.
Library or hall · Creative workshop
A town drawn by children comes to life
Each child colours a house, tree or character. Their drawing is captured and appears in a shared projected landscape.
How it works and what it needs
We agree on paper or screen activities, capture equipment, tables, materials and facilitation. The landscape can grow across several workshop sessions.
Shop · Trail stop or standalone attraction
A shop window that notices passers-by
A gesture or control reveals a character, opens a Christmas scene or uncovers the next clue on the trail.
How it works and what it needs
We assess light, glazing, equipment position and maintenance access with the owner. The way visitors activate the scene is chosen for the space.
Existing venue or market · Trail stop or standalone visit
Santa’s house, inside the story
The post room, workshop and meeting with Santa can form a sequence of activities or a special stop on the trail.
How it works and what it needs
An available room or shop can become the venue. Scenery, performers, activities, opening times, queues and hosting are explicitly scoped; a purpose-built cabin is optional.
From concepts to working interactions
See what people actually do.
People’s movement changes the projected scene. Watch the interactive floor in action: the same form of play can become a Christmas landscape, with imagery and responses designed for the setting.
A floor that responds to footsteps
As people cross the projection, trails of light appear beneath their steps. For Christmas, the game can become snow to move, stars to collect or paths to illuminate.
Start with this ideaFrom your place to a project
A new experience that fits your programme.
We start with spaces, audiences, dates and existing activities. We define the experience, check feasibility and agree production, installation and operation with your team.
Your context
Square, hall, windows or trail; expected audience, dates, available budget and the people who will run the activity.
A proposal you can assess
Story, visitor actions, a layout of the stops or scene, requirements and cost items. The scope is approved before production.
Preparation and opening
Agreed content, materials and equipment; installation, testing, operating instructions and support within the agreed scope.
One town, or a story across several places.
Several municipalities can share a theme and connect different stops while keeping local identity, calendars and contacts. A single attraction can also fit into an existing programme.
Christmas experiences
What does a Christmas project cost?
Cost depends on locations, duration, content, materials, equipment and operation. The proposal separates design, production and services on site, identifying the tasks handled by your team.
Dates, availability and prices are confirmed after reviewing the project. You can contact us while budget and timing are still open.
Projects for Swiss municipalities and destinations
For municipalities, tourism organisations, local associations and event teams across Switzerland. We agree visitor languages, local contacts, schedules and logistics. The quotation specifies CHF pricing, VAT treatment and any transport or import costs.
Let’s talk about your ChristmasThe questions to settle before you begin.
Spaces, simple activities and day-to-day operation shape the project. These answers help you take the first step.
Can this work for a small town?
You can start with a room, a window or a short trail. Scale, complexity and operating requirements are defined around the available spaces and resources.
Does every stop need technology?
A stop can be a postcard stamp, a clue or a hands-on activity. Interactive installations can be concentrated at one or more points along the trail.
Can projections work outdoors?
It depends on light, surfaces, distances and equipment protection. Evening projection mapping and a covered play area need different checks, including weather and operating conditions.
Can Santa’s house be a standalone attraction?
Yes. It can use an existing venue or become a stop on a trail. Scenery, activities, performers, opening hours and queue management are agreed in the proposal.
Who runs the activity during opening hours?
The proposal assigns hosting, trail checks, queues, maintenance and support. We can coordinate with your team and suppliers already involved in the programme.
How far ahead should we start?
Send your preferred dates and an initial description of the spaces. We check design, production, permissions and installation timelines, and confirm feasibility for the requested period in the proposal.

What would you like to change this Christmas?
Tell us about the place, what you have already planned and the idea that interests you. We can start with a question, just as we did that day.
