Costs Overview
What I’m covering, what you’ll handle, and how to keep Geneva fun, not stressful.
Budget
A weekend of Rebel Hope, with clear hints on what to budget for Geneva without killing the magic.
Solo Rebel
Core weekend events (food, drinks, venue bits) are a gift from me: you don’t pay any kind of entry fee.
Your main costs are travel to Geneva and where you sleep. For most people, that means something like: flights or trains CHF 150–400 (wildly variable by origin), two nights’ accommodation CHF 120–300, and local transport / coffees / cocktails around CHF 80–150. Think of a baseline budget of roughly CHF 350–850 for the whole adventure, depending on how space-opera or indie you go with your choices.

Accommodation range
Rebel Duo
Optional extras if you feel like levelling up the cinematic experience: a slightly fancier hotel or boutique guesthouse (add ~CHF 50–100 per night), extra dinners or brunches beyond the main gatherings (CHF 40–80 per meal, depending on how rebel you go with wine), and any side-quests—museums, boat rides, lake swims with post‑apocalyptic views of the Alps (CHF 20–60+). None of this is required; they’re just bonus chapters if your budget and curiosity are aligned.
Meals out
Drinks budget (Cocktails could easily be close to 20 CHF!)
Public transport
City extras
Optional side quests
Full Squadron
Suggested budgets, depending on your current galaxy: shoestring rebel (stay with friends / hostel, cook some meals): around CHF 300–450 for the weekend; balanced Jedi (mid‑range hotel, a few meals out, normal Geneva bar behaviour): around CHF 500–800; deluxe space wizard (nice hotel, taxis, cocktails that glow in the dark): CHF 900+. Wherever you land on this spectrum, you are equally wanted in the story—plan what feels comfortable and we’ll make the rest work.
