A class trip in Stockholm in December works best as one activity the whole class plays at the same time, in small teams with a clear goal. Stockholms stad's municipal schools end the autumn term on Friday 18 December 2026, so the last weeks before jullov are the window. At Questrooms on Södermalm a class plays escape rooms, VR and outdoor AR games for 330 SEK per student, and accompanying teachers play for free.
What is a good class activity in Stockholm before the Christmas holidays?
A good class activity before the Christmas holidays gets every student playing at once, in teams with a goal and a winner. At Questrooms on Södermalm a class splits into teams of 4 to 6 students, plays 60 to 100 minutes of escape room, VR or outdoor AR, and ends with an award ceremony and a trophy.
The games are a collaboration exercise built on logic puzzles and VR technology. Nobody needs prior knowledge, and the puzzles do not depend on language, so a class with newcomers plays on equal terms. Instructions come in Swedish and English. Read the details on the school trips page.
Which games suit which age group?
Questrooms sorts school games by age. Students aged 8 to 12 play fantasy themes such as Time Travellers and the outdoor game Magic Portal. Students aged 13 to 17 take harder challenges: VR escape rooms, Russian Mafia, Horror Escape TEENS and, for the oldest, the outdoor spy game Operation Mindfall, which is recommended from 16.
| Age | Game | Format | Players per team | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 to 12 | Time Travellers | Classic room | 3 to 7 | 2 of 5 |
| 8+ | Magic Portal | Outdoor AR | Up to 6 | 3 of 5 |
| 10+ | Mission Sigma VR, Signal Lost VR, Survival VR | VR | 2 to 6 | 2 to 3 of 5 |
| 12+ | Russian Mafia | Classic room | 2 to 6 | 5 of 5 |
| 13 to 17 | Horror Escape TEENS | Classic room | 3 to 6 | 3 of 5 |
| 16+ | Operation Mindfall | Outdoor AR | Up to 6 | 4 of 5 |
Time Travellers sends the team through time to find a hidden element before the portal closes. Magic Portal is played with an iPad on the streets of Södermalm, a few kilometres at a slow pace. Horror Escape TEENS has no actor, more light and a lower sound level than the adult version, but still one jump scare, so tell students in advance. The ages are recommendations, except for the horror rooms, which are never open to children under 13.
How does a class visit work?
A class visit at Questrooms starts with a briefing from the game master. The class then splits into teams of 4 to 6 students that play at the same time, for 60 to 100 minutes in total. The visit ends with an award ceremony where the winning team gets a trophy. The earliest start for schools is 09:30.
- Adults in the room: students under 13 need an adult in the room, so plan one teacher or staff member per team for younger classes.
- Adults on site: students under 18 need an adult on site. Teachers who wait outside the rooms do not pay.
- Outdoor games: Magic Portal and Operation Mindfall start and end at Kocksgatan 21A. Each team gets a bag with an iPad, so students do not need their own phones. All outdoor escape rooms take about 1.5 hours.
- December weather: an outdoor game can be cancelled for free up to 24 hours before. If the weather changes on the day, the class gets an indoor game if one is free, or a free reschedule.

Can the activity come to your school?
Yes. With Quest to Go, Questrooms brings an AR game to your school, sports hall or schoolyard, and for children from about 8 and for schools there is a Magic Portal version. Teams of 5 to 7 play at the same time, from 19 to more than 200 players, and the game lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
Send the group size, date and place through the Quest to Go page, and you get a tailored offer within 24 hours. The game master brings iPads and kits and sets everything up. You need one room for the intro and the award ceremony, and the price depends on group size and distance.
