Hilti Foundation Wins Silver at XAVER Awards 2025

Our escape room "Die Jagd nach Dr. Mo No" (The Hunt for Dr. Mo No) has won silver at the XAVER Awards 2025, Switzerland's most prestigious recognition in the live communication industry. With this innovative educational project, we impressed the international jury both creatively and conceptually, competing alongside major international projects such as Art on Ice, the Eurovision Semi Final Draw, and the Eiffel Tower Stadium at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Nearly 6,000 people visited the escape room in Schaan, including visitors from across the region and, most importantly, 85 percent of all school classes in Liechtenstein – our primary target audience. This demonstrates the compelling appeal of the innovative educational approach.

"This success shows that the offering resonated not only locally but that the innovative approach has gained recognition from international experts," says Michelle Kranz, Managing Director of Hilti Foundation Liechtenstein Projects. "This is wonderful proof that education, sustainability, and experience can be successfully combined."

The escape room made biodiversity accessible through playful and engaging methods – an approach that has now earned international recognition.

A huge thank you goes to our network of interdisciplinary experts and partners who made this project possible.

You made it happen!
