Ghosts of Stockholm: Secrets of the Haunted Streets — audio tour in Stockholm
A gamified ghost walk through Gamla Stan that combines cryptic puzzles with chilling tales of Stockholm's haunted past.
This self-guided experience turns Stockholm’s Old Town (Gamla Stan) into a giant outdoor escape room. Playing as a paranormal investigator, you’ll navigate the narrow, cobblestone streets to solve 14 location-based puzzles. The narrative focuses on the city’s darker history, including tales of historic murders, arson, and the secrets of the Swedish nobility.
The route takes you past major landmarks like the Royal Palace and the Nobel Prize Museum, but also leads you to lesser-known spots like Bonde Palace and Riddarholmen Church. The gamified format makes it particularly engaging for those who prefer an interactive challenge over a traditional narrated lecture.
While the tour offers total flexibility to start and pause at any time, it is best experienced at night to fully appreciate the “haunted” atmosphere. As an entirely outdoor activity, it is weather-dependent and requires a well-charged smartphone to complete the puzzles and follow the clues through the Questo app.
