About this experience
Copenhagen becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Caritasspringvandet, Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn and Københavns Hovedbanegård. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Copenhagen.

Traveler reviews
1 verified traveler reviews for Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Good concept, requires a lot of background knowledge
The concept is very nice. You can't just sit in a cafe and solve the puzzle, but you have to find the physical locations. The problem, however, is when you need extensive background knowledge to know about these locations, as at least one is in a locked courtyard and cannot be found using Google Maps. Furthermore, it is annoying that the map does not operate with street names, and that you have to go back and forth many times on the same street to move on, if, for example, the suspect is on the run. A minus is also that you cannot skip a task if you happen to pass by the location on the way to another task.
Response from the operator: Bedankt voor de waardevolle feedback; we zijn blij dat het basisconcept goed is overgekomen. We begrijpen dat de locatie lastig te vinden is. We gaan onderzoeken hoe we dit soort locaties beter vindbaar kunnen maken. We stellen ook de opmerkingen over het ontbreken van straatnamen op de kaart en het feit dat je meerdere keren dezelfde straat moet teruglopen zeer op prijs; de suggestie om een taak over te slaan, zelfs als je al in de buurt van de locatie bent, is ook een goede. Nogmaals bedankt. Jullie feedback geeft ons veel stof tot nadenken bij het verbeteren van de gebruikerservaring.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.
How much does Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Copenhagen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Copenhagen is not rushed.
Is Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Copenhagen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Copenhagen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Copenhagen and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Copenhagen Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Copenhagen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Copenhagen?
+
On Outty we rank every Copenhagen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Day Trip around Copenhagen, Copenhagen Walking Tour: Politically Incorrect Intro, Social Sailing - Copenhagen Canal Tour - Captain's Favorite. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Copenhagen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Copenhagen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
