School class trip to Västerås: escape rooms and the town’s old school prison
A school class in Västerås plays in four rooms: The Space Station, The Bunker and the twin rooms Dungeons – The King and Dungeons – The Emperor. None of them is scary, and the minimum age is 10 in all four. Together they take up to 18 players per round, so a larger class splits into two rounds. Teams of four or five pupils suit the rooms.
Half the class can play while the other half walks five minutes to Karlsgatan 2, where the county museum tells Västmanland’s history from the Stone Age to the turn of the millennium – admission is free. After about 90 minutes the halves change places. Classes arriving by train take bus 4 from Västerås C or walk from the station.
Finish with a history walk to the cathedral. Just north-east of it is the Botanical Garden, laid out for the school’s pupils on the orders of Bishop Johannes Rudbeckius. Next to it stands Proban, a school prison where unruly pupils and clergy could be locked up until 1801. It gives the class something to talk about after an hour in a locked room.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many teachers are needed?
It depends on the pupils’ age and the rooms. Give the number of pupils and their year in the request and the venue will tell you what applies.
Does it work as an end-of-term activity?
Yes, that is a common format. Combine with lunch nearby.
How do we book?
Send a request with the number of pupils, year group and preferred date and we will come back with times and price.
What is the minimum age?
The age is set per room and shown on each room’s page. Rooms with scary elements or adult themes have a higher age and are not suitable for children. Hotel Shakespeare, for example, is 18+. Wondering what applies to younger children and accompanying adults in a particular room? Contact the venue before you book.
