Escape Games · COPENHAGEN
Good copenhagen escape games tours fill their evening slots weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 13 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Enter the Da Vinci room in Copenhagen with your private group of up to six. Solve Holy Grail riddles in sequence while a game master such as Ada, Siff, or Natalie offers help when needed. The experience runs in English, includes a team photo, and ends at the starting point.
“Thanks for a great 5 star experience! Thanks Siff for facilitating a great event. Happy to come again another time. Good day”
At Midgaard Event in Copenhagen, you and up to five teammates race to finish a cure for a deadly pandemic. Expect a private room, a dedicated game master, a 75-minute game, team photo, and help from hosts such as Kassandra or Lasse.
“We went with our kids 3 and 6 year old. The puzzles and the theme were fantastic, we really enjoyed them! The host made the whole experience memorable, helping the girls feel comfortable and have a great time. We absolutely recommend it, 100%.”
Take your private team of up to six behind the Soviet border in 1989 for a two-hour spy mission. A live actor, detailed sets, unusual puzzles, and 34 hidden speakers carry the story. The full visit lasts about two and a half to three hours.
“Crazy scenography!!! And the actor Ada was so convincing in the role. Generally all rooms are very well done, we tried three today, and all was very challenging but also quite varied”
Join a private team of up to 12 as British agents in 1902. You will enter Colonel Holtenberg’s estate, search for secret royal photographs, and solve linked puzzles across two rooms. A costumed game master, including hosts such as Poppy, Ian, or Roxanne, guides the action when needed.
“My first escape room experience was fantastic, well worth a visit! Ada was very good in her role. The challenges were great fun.”
Use the Questo app to guide yourself from Kongens Nytorv to Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue. Along the way, solve a fairy-tale quest and pass the Royal Danish Theatre, Stork Fountain, Amalienborg Palace, and more. Allow two to three hours, and bring a charged smartphone.
“I'd you're looking for a scavenger hunt this is for you. Lots of history and you definitely cover alot of ground. However it took us nearly 3 hours to complete and only stopped once for short break.”
You play detective in Copenhagen’s King’s Garden, solving the mystery of stolen crown jewels with your smartphone and H.C. Andersen. Expect a self-guided walk of up to two hours, phone-based puzzles, two difficulty levels, and views toward Rosenborg Castle. No live guide or castle entry is included.
“Det var elendigt. Har prøvet tilsvarende i både Hamburg og Amsterdam, hvor man kom rundt i byerne og så forskellige seværdigheder. Her var man kun i parken. Man skulle på det nærmeste kende parken, for at kunne finde rundt. Der var ingen guidning. Helt igennem skuffende. Kan absolut ikke anbefales.”
Take a private 210-minute e-bike ride from Copenhagen through Glostrup, Høje-Taastrup, Albertslund, and Valensbæk to see Thomas Dambo’s recycled-wood giants. Your guide speaks English, Danish, Russian, or Arabic. The Maravelo e-bike, Livall helmet, water, and Osmo Pocket camera are included.
“We thoroughly enjoyed riding on the outskirts of Copenhagen and meeting three of Thomas Dumbos giants. The bikes were good. The timing itself felt rushed - we and others in the group would have enjoyed a quick coffee stop, and a bit slower return ride - it was rushed.”
Use the Qula app to solve questions and tasks while walking from Copenhagen’s Nyhavn and palaces to Tivoli, Christiania, museums, markets, and the Opera House. Plan on 2 to 4 hours, bring your own phone and data, and pause whenever you need a meal, coffee, or museum stop.
“We were on citytrip in Copenhagen. We decided to make this Qula trail to discover the city. The questions where fun and we took a break at a cafe.”
Use your phone to solve clues across Copenhagen’s royal district, from Amalienborg Palace to Kastellet. This private English-language quest takes about 80 to 100 minutes and mixes short challenges with free stops at churches, waterfront sights, a design museum, and the Gefion Fountain.
“It was a fun way to walk around the city and see the famous statues. It did take a couple of goes to work out that the timer started as soon as you read the clue so we made sure we walked all the way to the location before reading. Great to have the extra facts about the buildings as you go along to put them into context.”
Help Skyla find spare parts for a spaceship on a self-guided, English-language treasure hunt through central Copenhagen. You’ll solve phone-based puzzles while walking from Højbro Plads past canals, palaces, bridges, colourful harbour houses, and Broens Gadekøkken. Plan on one to three hours.
“This was the perfect way to engage and encourage our kids (aged between 8-11) to walk through Copenhagen. They were so excited to complete the hunt that they were leading the way, which let the adults chat.”
Pick up a mystery envelope in central Copenhagen, then follow a self-guided murder hunt around Christiansborg Palace and Slotsholmen. You solve riddles at your own pace, see major city sights, and finish near the palace. Expect about two hours of walking and standing.
“Very fun game. My wife and I enjoyed it and will be adding this sort of adventure to our future travels. Very clever way to explore parts of the city.”
Use the World City Trail app to follow a 3.9-kilometer Copenhagen route, solve observation riddles, and hear outdoor stories at eight major sights. Start anytime at City Hall, pause for food or sightseeing, and finish where it suits you. English is offered, with five additional app languages.
“Teambuilding with co-workers form multiple countries on-site in Copenhagen. We appreciated the not-timed facet of the activity and enjoyed the walk across Copenhagen to combine our own activities about getting to know each other and a mandatory virtual department meeting into the Scavenger Hunt.”
Start at Copenhagen City Hall and follow a smartphone-guided route to 10 important city sights. Solve location-based riddles, read short facts, and pause for coffee, lunch, or a museum visit. The private game lasts about 2.5 hours, supports six languages, and remains valid for 365 days.
“Ermöglicht eigenes Tempo - mehr Infos über Sehenswürdigkeiten auf den Wegen zwischen den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten wären noch besser.”
Pick a country, a city or a kind of puzzle.
