You unlock your phone, the city map pulses, and the first character cue appears: the Syndicate wants its formulas back. You set off from Gothenburg’s central square with tram bells punctuating the air, cobbles underfoot, and a cast of characters—John, Azita, Burke, Clara, Leopold the dog—ready to push you through alleys, plazas and waterfront promenades.

You unlock your phone, the city map pulses, and the first character cue appears: the Syndicate wants its formulas back. You set off from Gothenburg’s central square with tram bells punctuating the air, cobbles underfoot, and a cast of characters—John, Azita, Burke, Clara, Leopold the dog—ready to push you through alleys, plazas and waterfront promenades.
Gothenburg’s streets carry 17th-century Dutch planning and 19th-century industrial grit; the port and canals that shaped its growth still direct the city’s rhythm. As you move between puzzle locations you’ll pass masonry from the city’s shipbuilding era, glass-fronted modernism, and neighborhood cafés that preserve a lively fika culture. The game routes thread historic Haga, the fish market’s iron church, and views across the Göta älv, giving a compact primer on local history and urban geography.
This self-guided format is deliberately flexible: book a start time, then begin whenever you like and pause as needed. Expect roughly two hours of walking and low-impact problem solving—think observation, simple logic puzzles, and photo tasks rather than physical challenges.
Practical guidance: one device per group (1–5 people) handles the game flow; public transit and trams are convenient if you need to skip sections. Carry a charged phone and a portable battery, wear grippy shoes for wet cobbles, and plan for changing weather—Gothenburg shifts quickly from bright to drizzle. Play during daylight for best navigation and photo tasks, and use the route as a way to experience the city’s character rather than race through it.
easy.
2 hours.
Light walking fitness; suitable for most people comfortable with 1–3 miles of urban walking
One ticket covers a group of 1–5 people using a single device; for larger groups buy additional tickets so teams can play simultaneously.
You choose a start time when booking, but the game is self-guided—you can begin whenever you like on that date and pause/continue as needed.
Routes use city streets and pavements; accessibility varies by specific streets and cobbles—contact the operator with mobility details to confirm a suitable route.
The game and instructions are provided in English and commonly in local languages; check the booking details or confirmation email for language options.
Gothenburg was formally founded in 1621 with Dutch-influenced street planning to establish a secure trading port; its industrial expansion in the 19th century shaped much of the central waterfront.
Use public transport and reusable bottles to reduce your footprint; respect historic façades and avoid venturing into protected green spaces off marked paths.
