On a winter weekend in Stockholm, a game that does not depend on the weather is a simple plan for friends, couples and families. At Questrooms on Södermalm, the first game on a Saturday starts at 10:00 and the last at 22:30, and the same price applies to classic escape rooms, VR and outdoor games. This guide, updated for winter 2026/27, covers ideas by group, weekend hours and prices, and how to book a weekend game.
What can you do in Stockholm on a winter weekend?
On a winter weekend in Stockholm, you can spend the daylight outside and keep an indoor plan for the afternoon and evening, when it is dark. A 60-minute escape room or VR game at Questrooms is one such plan: it works in any weather, takes about 1.5 hours including the briefing, and suits 2 to 6 players per room.
The usual list of things to do this weekend is familiar: a walk in Gamla stan, a museum, the cinema, bowling, brunch with friends. A game adds something those do not: for 60 minutes the whole group works on one goal, and everybody has a part in it. More ideas in the same direction are in Cinema and Bowling Alternatives in Stockholm.

| Format | Players | Game time | Weather | Examples |

VR escape rooms: Questrooms has two VR rooms with 10 stations in total and 16 VR games, all of them escape games with puzzles. You can sit or stand for the whole game and move with the controllers, and players see and hear each other inside the game. For a winter theme, Frozen Castle VR asks the team to awaken the heart of a frozen castle before the frost binds the world. The full list is on the VR escape rooms page.
Classic escape rooms: physical rooms where you move through several zones during the game. Horror Escape is the most popular game at Questrooms for groups of friends. Russian Mafia, difficulty 5 of 5, is the hardest classic room.
Outdoor AR games: Operation Mindfall (16+) and Magic Portal (8+) start and finish at Kocksgatan 21A, and each team gets a bag with an iPad. In winter the weather policy helps: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, and if the weather changes on the day, Questrooms can offer an indoor game, if one is free, or a free reschedule.
Weekend ideas for friends and couples
- Friends: Horror Escape has a live actor and a jump scare, recommended from 18. For 7 to 10 friends, BACK-TO-BACK puts the whole group in the same VR game, as one team or as two teams racing each other.
- Couples: the Questrooms team recommends Mission Sigma VR for an easy, fun date and House of Fear 2 VR for a scary one. Two players pay 409 SEK each.
Which activities for families with children work on a weekend?
For children aged 8 to 12, Questrooms has Time Travellers, a classic room for 3 to 7 players with one adult inside, and the outdoor game Magic Portal from age 8. Jungle Quest VR and Mission Sigma VR work from age 10. Players aged 8 to 17 get 15% off.
For a kids' birthday on a Sunday, the Standard Party package starts at 10:15: 1 hour of games in two groups and 45 to 60 minutes of party time in the lounge, for 14 to 16 children, at 5,499 SEK. Details are on the kids' parties page.
Activities for teens on a weekend
Horror Escape TEENS is made for ages 13 to 17: the same story as Horror Escape, with no actor, more light and a lower sound level, and still a jump scare. A team of teens without an adult needs a parent's written consent by email to hello@questrooms.se. Cyberpunk VR and the Dream Hackers VR games work from 13, and Operation Mindfall from 16.
Players under 18 need one responsible adult on site. That adult can wait in the reception and does not pay.
What does a weekend game cost?
A weekend game at Questrooms costs 369 to 409 SEK per person, the same price as on weekdays and for every format. The price depends on how many players are in the room: 409 SEK each for 2, 399 for 3, 389 for 4, 379 for 5 and 369 for 6.
You pay on site after the game, by card or Swish. Questrooms does not take cash.
