    Underwhelming and unreliable. We have done many escape rooms all over Europe and all of them have had better attention to detail, more intuitive clues and a better story line than this entertainig but overpriced and minimalistically designed escape. From the beginning, we were totally in the dark as to what to do despite two of us being very experienced with escapes. Often there are clearer beginning goals and a better defined storyline. It turned out that we made little headway in part because vital technology in the room (a digital screen) had literally failed. Therefore, parts of the game didn't go as planned and clues didn't make any sense. Who knows how long we wasted until this was realised. At one point the staff had to come in to try and manually restart the tech but after 3 attempts it still did not work and as a result, we really didn't fully understand if we had actually solved clues right or if they were just given to us to push as through. When we made it to another part of the escape, an almost endless sound of code came but with no pencil or paper to help, it made solving seem almost impossible. As one of our team got scared and sat the mission out, we later found out from them that the staff had mentioned that they had in fact forgotten to provide paper and pencil but that it should have been there. The torches were failing regularly and we also discovered that while we played, a new shipment had just arrived. What's more, there was a system of locks that froze for 3 minutes if the wrong code was entered too many times. We did not know this at the time. However, as the tech from the first part was broken, we tried many times to put in codes trying anything to figure out why the clues were not working and so got frozen out at least 10 minutes from play because of this. Despite the clear failures in the system resulting in us not knowing what to do for long periods of time, our game was cut short literally minutes before we solved everything. However, the staff did not neglect to point out that we had our 60 minutes of play, albeit totally confused and with faulty and broken equipment. Little in the way of an apology, just a request not to speak in the lobby for risk of spoiling fort those to come after. Disappointing for the little boy who had his first escape room experience and for the other who sat out but for whom we were charged regardless. At least after such a poor start, future experiences can only be better for these kids

    Great playground for the people that like mind puzzles and team work! Very helpful personnel and nice atmosphere. We did the last manuscript escape room and we really liked it. It was slightly book oriented but no previous knowledge was needed. The price is 300 SEK per person. I recommend going 2-4 people. But you're allowed to be more people. Comparing it to Fox in a Box room escape, just up the street, this was slightly easier. But about 50% of the teams complete the courses here.

    Amazing. Everything worked very well together, the atmosphere was tense and the puzzles were well thought through. I recommend going with a group of 4-6

    Super nice. The atmosphere is great, the room we did was definitely challenging and the staff helpful. I liked that they were a bit different in terms of puzzles to solve from other escape rooms I did before.

    Wonderful rooms, perfectly difficult, good enough to feel the challenge and yet somehow to escape the room. We were group of 16 and tried three different rooms. All of us escaped but in absolute last minutes. Definitely recommending this place. Good staff and reception as well

    Really fun escape room, my friend and I had a great time! Josefin was a great game master, would definitely recommend if you’re in Stockholm for any more than a day!

    Friendly staff and a really fun escape room (The Last Manuscript). All around a great experience!

    Worst customer service ever. Do read the cancelation policies, do not expect them to be kind when you get sick and cannot attend. Also, if you cancel a reservation, call and confirm they have done it and ask for an email confirmation of that, specially for rebookings. My case, I asked to change date and ended up with 2 exact bookings one day apart and was asked to pay 1200 kr for no show. After a heated phone conversation, I had to pay half. Total worthless honestly. Not recommended.

    Incredibly fun! We did 'the last manuscript', the story was well thought out and exciting. It kept ud engaged and we really enjoyed all the puzzles and small problems. Great ude of gadgets and hidden items as well. Only little problem was that we were misinformed about the rules at the start which cost us some time and we had to ask for a clue. All in all, cant wait to do it again!

    THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! An absolute highlight of my stay in Stockholm. This Escape Stories is clever, very well thought out and incredibley amazing at rushing the adrenaline through your body. Our group had a very memorable experience and the staff and management were there to help and make our escape story the best! Would recommend this to anyone, family, friends, coworkers... a must do here in Stockholm.

    Had a blast. The employees were really nice and laid back with a easy going attitude. The rooms were quite enjoyable and had a good, strong plotline, at least the one i did "the break in" and the puzzles were well weaved in to the story and felt like they belonged.

    We did the Da Vinci Outdoor Escape in Gamla Stan. It was really good and you get a nice tour of some of the main parts of Gamla Stan. Josefin the Game Master was super nice and friendly. Highly recommend it!
