Top Helsinki Escape Games

I spent only six hours in Helsinki, so I needed a relatively quick and easy route through the historic center, along with a concentrated dose of information about the city's history. From that perspective, the tour was the perfect choice.

Informative self-guided tour with fun but not too challenging puzzles and interesting anecdotes. A good length. Recommended.

The best value - saw so much we would never have found and the information was interesting and entertaining. We LOVED solving the riddles. I would definitely do this again in a different city.

This was so much fun!! It kind of felt like being on the Amazing Race, but way more chill. We got to experience Helsinki in a deeper way than we would have otherwise, and some of the puzzles really stumped us (which was part of the fun). Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzles or learning about cultural spots.

Everytime a nice experience.

Very fun way to see the city. We not only played the games but also could stop for food and activities we found along the way

Pleasant walk, the puzzles are accessible. Point of improvement: some places mentioned are not on the route and therefore not visited. Examples: archives and places of execution.

This is a fun way to explore a city with friends. Once you get going it makes sense but it’s a challenge to figure out the app/puzzles at first. I know this is because they have to do it visually since there’s so many languages but just be aware of that. No matter where on the list you start it makes the circuit so you will see everything. With that in mind, I wouldn’t recommend starting at the National Theatre (our first stop) because the question is confusing. We actually couldn’t get our phone to work at first so started exploring on our own and then later picked up the game at a different spot when we could connect. This ended up being a good thing as we wouldn’t have understood what we were supposed to do if we had started at the theatre. Also be aware there is a LOT of walking and quite a bit of climbing. We were able to do it all but it would be extremely difficult for someone with disabilities or health issues.

This was a good first activity to do when we arrived in Helsinki as it gave us an overview of the city and the key sights, with the addition of puzzles to keep my teenager engaged! The puzzles were generally pitched at a good level, just one that was a little too easy. You can go at your own pace, start and finish whenever you want and stop along the way. We had beautiful sun come out as we passed a park so stopped there for a bit.
