Skarpskyttevägen 7, Lund
Things to do in Lund
The cathedral, museums, parks, day trips and evenings around the squares – here are our tips for Lund, with travel times from Norra Fäladen where we know them. Escape House is one of the ideas.
Lund is a small university city with a long history. The cathedral, Lundagård, Kulturen and the market hall are close together in the centre. Nature is close by at Skrylle and Dalby Söderskog, and Malmö is a short train ride away. The guide is grouped by type: classic sights, museums and culture, nature and views, day trips, kids and family, indoors, and food and evenings. Three plans for a whole day round it off: a rainy day, a day with kids and an evening with friends or colleagues.
Escape House is in Norra Fäladen, north of the city centre. From the Lund Skarpskyttevägen stop, about 300 metres away, bus 5 takes around 9 minutes to Lund Central Station. Sankt Hans backar, with its view over the city, is right next door, and LTH and Vattenhallen are about 20 minutes away on foot.
Escape House
Escape House in Lund: four rooms in Norra Fäladen
There are four rooms in Lund. Trapped (2–8 players) and Prison Break (2–6) are Medium level, and The Chapel (2–7) is rated Medium/Hard. All three suit players from age 10 and none of them is scary. Black Market (3–6 players) is scary, rated Hard and for ages 13 and up. The rooms are all different, so there are no twin rooms, but up to 27 people can play at the same time.
You spend 60 minutes in the room, but allow 90 minutes from arrival to departure. Every game can be played in Swedish or English. Walk up Sankt Hans backar before your game, or take bus 5 into town afterwards for dinner around the squares or in the market hall.

How do we find you?
Address, parking and public transport are listed under Quick facts on this page and on the Lund city page.
Do we need to speak Swedish?
No. Every room is played in English on request and the game masters speak English.
Can we walk in without a booking?
Please book online. A game master is not always on site if no slot is booked.
What is an escape room?
An escape room is a game where you are locked in a themed room and have 60 minutes to find clues, crack codes and solve puzzles to get out. You do not need to be strong or fast, just curious and good at working together. A game master follows you on camera and gives hints if you get stuck.
How many players can we be?
Most rooms suit 2–6 players; some take up to 8. The recommended number is shown on each room. Larger groups book several rooms, with the same start time when the calendar has that time free in the rooms. Several of our rooms come in two identical versions so two teams can race each other. How many can play at the same time depends on the venue and is shown on the team-building page for each city.
How long does it take?
The game itself is 60 minutes. Allow about 90 minutes in total including the introduction before and the debrief afterwards. Please arrive 10 minutes before your booked time.
How much does it cost?
Adults: SEK 325
Students (with a valid student card) and seniors 65+: SEK 250
Children and teens under 15: SEK 185
Prices are per person and room, including VAT. There are no hidden fees. You pay on site by card or Swish. All prices per city are on the Prices page.
Is it scary?
It depends on the room. We have everything from family-friendly adventures like Wonderland to horror rooms like The Asylum, The Hotel and The Dollhouse. Every room is labelled with its theme and whether it has scary elements. Difficulty is a separate thing, shown on its own. Want to know more about a particular room, for example whether there are actors? Ask the venue before you book.
Are you really locked in?
No. The door can always be opened from the inside and the game master can stop the game at any time. We follow the safety rules for public premises.
Do we need to prepare or wear special clothes?
No. No prior knowledge and no special clothing is needed. Bring reading glasses if you need them. Does someone in your group have limited mobility? What we have checked about accessibility is shown on the room’s page. Otherwise ask the venue before you book. We recommend not drinking alcohol before the game; it makes the puzzles noticeably harder.
Are the venues wheelchair accessible?
It varies between rooms and cities. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are labelled on the site, for example The Detectives in Gothenburg. Contact the venue before booking and we will help.
