Is your group heading to Stockholm for a weekend? Then you want to see the city, eat well and do something together that everyone talks about afterwards. Here is a plan for a friends' weekend from Friday to Sunday, with tips for groups coming from out of town or with friends from abroad.
Before you go
- Stay central. With accommodation close to the metro, you move easily between Södermalm, Gamla stan and the city centre.
- Book activities in advance. Weekend evenings fill first, and online booking with us closes 3 hours before the start time.
- Bring a card. At Questrooms you pay by card or Swish on site. Cash is not accepted.
Friday: arrive and kick off the weekend
Check in, drop your bags and take the metro to Medborgarplatsen. Start the weekend with an escape room at Kocksgatan 21A. One room takes 2–6 players, and you have 60 minutes.
- Horror Escape for groups who want a scare, minimum 3 players, 18+ recommended.
- Russian Mafia for groups who like tricky puzzles.
On Fridays and Saturdays the last game starts at 22:30. Afterwards, the restaurants in SoFo are within walking distance.
Saturday: see the city and play
Morning. Walk around Södermalm or Gamla stan while it is light. The viewpoints on Södermalm give you a good view of the city.
Midday. Combine the walk with a mission. Operation Mindfall is an AR game on the streets of SoFo for 2–10 players, from age 16. Each team gets an iPad, so you do not need your own phones.
Afternoon or evening. For a bigger group, BACK-TO-BACK works well: two connected VR rooms where up to 10 players compete in two teams in the same game. No VR experience is needed.
Sunday: slow start and the trip home
Have a long breakfast or fika before you head home. If you have time for one more game, the last start on Sundays is 19:30. We have lockers for valuables and backpacks while you play.
Friends from abroad in the group?
The briefing is given in English or Swedish. The puzzles are not language-dependent, and there is almost no text in the physical rooms. Everything that must be read is available in English. Read more in escape rooms in English in Stockholm.

Price and booking
The price depends on how many you are, and the more players, the lower the price per person. Prices are in SEK, and you see the current price when you pick a slot for an escape room or a VR escape room.
