9.Copenhagen Royal Conspiracy Exploration Game and Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes (approx.) · from $7

Explore Copenhagen’s royal quarter through clues, churches, design, fountains, and fortress sights in this affordable private walking game.

“Cool because you still discover different corners of Copenhagen in a playful way, especially small details that you had not seen before. From the story we found it confusing in parts, though, or at least we didn’t really see a logically gripping story from start to finish. If necessary, this is also due to one or the other somewhat bumpy translation (we played it in German). Against the background that the main goal was not a cool game but to discover the city, but basically a cool thing.Auto-translated”
