What To Expect
The Royal Swedish Opera
The Royal Swedish Opera is Sweden’s national theatre for opera and ballet. It has served in that role since January 18, 1773, when the first performance was given at the Royal Opera. A couple of years prior to that, in 1771, King Gustav III had fired the French opera troupe that had been performing at Bollhuset by Slottsbacken in Stockholm for 20 years or so. This was due to his wish to form a Swedish ensemble that could put on Swedish operas. The Swedish troupe continued performing in Bollhuset until a new Opera House was completed in 1782 and the ensemble was able to move in. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
The first parliament is often viewed as a meeting that took place in the town of Arboga in 1435. Since that time, Sweden's government has gone through a number of changes. After some initial meetings, parliament came to be represented through the Four Estates, which consisted of representatives from nobility, clergy, burghers, and peasants. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

2.00I can't say anything about the tour itself. We didn't even manage to start this game. Something was always wrong. Either the email or the booking number. Much was not well declared what exactly is needed by one. I don't understand why you still have to register so much and so and so. Surely this is better and easier in this day and age.
Pleasant surprise

4.00This experience was surprisingly delightful. Ages of participants: 40 something, 70 something, 14, 11, and 7. We are staying in Old Town and were looking for something time flexible and informative that covered the highlights in Gamla Stan while also keeping the kids engaged. This experience fit the bill for our family. With the generous price point compared to every other tour, my expectations were so low that if we decided to opt out all together, I wouldn't have minded...but my kids were actually interested and were eager to move from point to point and take on each challenge. We took our time at each stop to learn about the location before moving on. We also realized we'd been walking past cool little alleyways not realizing their existence until the experience took us through them. So cool. We really had a great time. So why 4 stars? It took us a bit to get the app situated on the kids' (11 y/o and 14 y/o) phones. You pay for the adults participating and kids are free, so I paid for 2 adults, however, at the time of purchase I did not know that you could only use 2 devices to follow along at any given moment. I thought each family member could follow along in the app. Not so. You pay for 2 tickets, you may only participate on 2 devices. The activity was intended for the kids so I opened it on their phones. As a result, there was not much adult oversight when navigating from one location to the next, leading to lots of backtracking. It was funny until Grandma started getting tired. So the number of participants in the app was a bit of a bummer because I didn't know the restriction when we were trying to get everyone up and running. Once we got going, all was good.
Fun!

5.00It was quite fun. We played it as two people. Even though we visited Stockholm old town many times, we noticed new details and learned interesting facts about the city and its history! I will try it in other cities as well.
Great way to spend some day!

5.00This was a lot of fun! To be honest, we didn’t follow the fantasy story line that much, but prefered reading the historical rendering about the different places we visited Turing this tour. We loved this tour and concept and will try again in another city!
Worth it

1.00The tour in the old town is fun but the app is useless. A lot of texts were not or bad translated. Some of the questions were impossible to solve or understand. In our language (Dutch) a waste of money.
I recommend this game for everybody. It will be good attraction even for the kids.
