Provisori la Quête

Provisori is a game available as a mobile app. Free and available on the Apple Store, players can take part in a 71-day journey. The premise of the game is the following: each day, a new riddle to solve is released. The first player to enter the correct answer wins a prize. These prizes are offered by participating partners, and can be won every day for the duration of the game. And to maximise your chances of winning, for each riddle a hint is available for purchase.

Here is some further information on how the game proceeds. Each day at noon, the riddle of the day is released. The players then have until 7 PM to solve it. At 7 PM, the correct answer is given to the community of players. At that moment, all of the users will also be informed of the winner of the day, the prize he won and the partner it is offered by. This system allows for a day full of suspense as the users are kept in the dark about whether or not the riddle of the day has already been solved. Likewise, the daily prizes at stake are unknown until they have been won. This game configuration motivates players to the maximum.

For the prizes at stake, the participating partners are active in different sectors. Leisure, sports, tourism, wellness or mobility are just some of the types of activities our partners are engaged in. Essentially established in the Swiss Romandie they reflect a part of the touristic activities, leisure and entertainment that can be found in the region. We must once more highlight that the mobile app is free for our contributing partners as it is for users/players. Finally, it is also of note that Provisori is available in four languages: French, English, German and Italian.

On the whole, we can distinguish two main themes on which the mobile app Provisori is based on. First of all, the application was developed to offer a new means of communication and promotion for the partners. They benefit from a new fun tool that is both recreational and interactive to advertise what they have to offer, whether it’s products, services or activities in a given region. By simply being a participating partner and by being put in the spotlight in front of the whole community of players on the day their prizes are won, the partners benefit from excellent digital exposure to promote their business and increase their positive image with the general public.

At the same time, the game is a fun and interesting way for the users of the app to discover businesses and institutions that are active in entertainment, leisure and tourism in the Swiss Romandie. By winning the prizes, users are encouraged to travel through the Swiss Romandie and engage in the different regional activities. These prizes encourage our users’ curiosity on what the Swiss Romandie has to offer while simultaneously bringing their friends or family to these places. Therefore, this mobile app is a “win-win” solution for the local economy and users as our players get to discover offers without having to “endure” advertisements that have no personal value added.

The content of Provisori allows one to expand their knowledge of Swiss history, culture and geography. Logic, simple mathematics and common sense questions are also part of the game and the riddles it offers.

Cleverly thought out by the Provisori team, the riddles are unique and cannot be found on the Internet. We hence avoid being able to easily turn to the internet for the solution to the riddles.
