Christmas is over, the days are short and the calendar is empty. January can feel long in Stockholm, but it is also a good month to get together again after the holidays. Here are ideas for January in Stockholm, how to use the gift card you got for Christmas and what your workplace can do to start the year together.
Ideas for January
- Skating and winter walks when it is cold and clear.
- Museums and swimming pools when the weather is grey.
- An escape room or VR game: 60 minutes indoors, about 1.5 hours with the briefing, a few minutes from Medborgarplatsen.
In the City of Stockholm, the spring term starts on Monday 11 January 2027, so the first days of January are still the Christmas break for many children.

Games for dark January evenings
- Frozen Castle VR: awaken the heart of the castle before the frost binds the world. It fits the season.
- Escape the Worlds: a VR series with ten worlds, where you continue on your next visit. A good start to a new year of game nights.
- Horror Escape: for groups who want a scare, minimum 3 players, 18+ recommended.
- Time Travellers: for kids aged 8–12 with an adult in the room, if the Christmas break is not over.
Start the year with work
January is the month for kick-offs and new goals. A shared activity gives the team something to do together before daily routine takes over. For companies there are packages for 8–44 people on team building, and with Quest-to-Go we bring the game to your office or conference. Read more in kick-off ideas for 2027.
A plan for a January evening
- After work: arrive 15 minutes before your slot for the briefing.
- The game, up to 60 minutes.
- Dinner in SoFo, within walking distance of Kocksgatan 21A.
