Frequently asked questions
Want a quirky adventure instead of just sightseeing?
Go on The Troll Escape. You’ll play Hanna Larsson, chase rumors of a troll roaming Stockholm after an earthquake, solve clues in alleyways, squares, and visit centuries-old streets. It’s part walking tour, part fantasy chase.
Is this good for a date that’s not just dinner & a movie?
For sure. Imagine the city at dusk, shadows in cobblestone alleys, solving puzzles together, and maybe ending with hot cocoa or fika near the Opera. Romance + folklore = memorable evening.
Will kids or teens enjoy chasing trolls in Stockholm?
Yes, older kids love this. The quest mixes myth, fun riddles, and iconic spots like the Royal Swedish Opera and Storkyrkan. It’s spooky in a playful way, not scary; perfect for family outings.
Thinking with friends—can this be a team challenge?
Absolutely. Split into squads, race to find clues, debate your theories, and try to outsmart the troll. It’s social, playful, and gets you exploring hidden corners most tourists never see.
How long will it take and how far will I walk?
Expect around 30-60 minutes walking ~2.3 km. Enough time to enjoy the route, take photos, have breaks—if you move slower, it stretches, and that’s cool.
