Self-guided city games in Stockholm
World City Trail’s self-guided games in Sweden are in Stockholm, the capital, which has all three: a scavenger hunt with a riddle at each stop, an outdoor escape game with a puzzle at every landmark, and an audio walking tour without puzzles.
The route starts at City Hall on Kungsholmen and crosses to Riddarholm Church. In Gamla Stan it passes the Nobel Museum, the obelisk on Slottsbacken and the Royal Palace, then continues to Gustav Adolfs Torg, St James’s Church and the Nationalmuseum, finishing at the gilded crown on Skeppsholmen Bridge: about 3.1 km, or 40 minutes of walking.

Why explore Stockholm with a self-guided city game
A self-guided scavenger hunt is one of the easiest things to do in Stockholm without a guide: in one afternoon you hop between several of the city’s islands at your own pace. City Hall hosts the Nobel banquet, Riddarholm Church is the burial church of Swedish monarchs, and the Royal Palace is the king’s official residence.
Compared with a guided tour, you choose the start time, the pace and the order of the stops, with time for a fika in Gamla Stan. The riddles make you look closely at carvings, signs and façades, and the stories explain what you found.
- Start in the morning or late afternoon; Gamla Stan is busiest at midday.
- In winter daylight fades early, so start the escape game in good time.
- Plan your route past the Royal Palace to catch the changing of the guard.
- Every stop is seen from outside, so you need no entry tickets.

Is a self-guided tour better than a guided tour in Stockholm?
