An after-work easily turns into the same thing every time: same bar, same table, same people talking to each other. An activity at the start gets the whole group going, and gets colleagues from different teams actually talking. This guide gives you after-work activity ideas in Stockholm, how to plan by group size, and what applies to companies that want to pay by invoice.
Why an activity at the after-work?
An activity gives everyone the same start. The new hire and the manager solve the same puzzle, and afterwards there is something shared to talk about at the table. A 60-minute game also fits a normal workday: you can start right after work and still make it to dinner.
After-work ideas in Stockholm
An escape room as a team One room takes 2–6 players and you have 60 minutes to get out. At Questrooms on Södermalm you can choose classic rooms like Russian Mafia, or Horror Escape for colleagues who want a real scare (18+ recommended).
VR for the whole group No VR experience is needed, and everyone starts at the same level. Signal Lost VR takes you to a space station falling out of orbit, Frozen Castle VR to a castle frozen in time.
Team against team With BACK-TO-BACK, our two VR rooms connect. Up to 10 people split into two teams, for example 5 vs 5, and play the same mission. The team that finishes first wins.
Outdoors while it is light Operation Mindfall is an augmented reality spy game on the streets of SoFo. The mission takes up to 2 hours, the game is 16+ and has a difficulty of 4 out of 5.
Plan by group size
| Group size | Suggestion | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 2–6 | One escape room or VR game | About 1.5 hours |
| 7–10 | BACK-TO-BACK, or two rooms at the same time | About 1.5 hours |
| 8–12 | Team Start: 2 groups at the same time | 1.5 hours |
| 13–22 | Team Boost: 3 groups at the same time | 1.5 hours |
| 23–32 | Business Challenge: 4 groups, two play while two have fika, then swap | 2.5 hours |
| 33–44 | Corporate Takeover: 6 groups, the whole venue to yourselves | 2.5 hours |
If you are more than 44, or want to play at the office, there is Quest-to-Go, where 19–500 people play at the same time at your location. See all packages on team building.

- The game, up to 60 minutes.
- Hang out. At Questrooms you can rent our lounge and talk about the game afterwards.
- Dinner or a bar. Södermalm and SoFo have plenty of places within walking distance of Kocksgatan.
Game first, drinks after. Questrooms has a zero-tolerance policy on alcohol and drugs, and anyone who is intoxicated cannot play.
Price and booking
