Disaster bad! No reading of the amounts of text it is about. Incredibly bad story. Shit actually. We finished after 5 stations.

Stockholm August 2026
Really enjoyed this mix of touring and trivia with a new way of exploring different places.
via Tripadvisor
Difficult, but fun enough for those who like really difficult riddles.
It was a little hard to get started. Once I had paid, they came to another page where there was a new fee. But you could try two clues for free. Although they were too hard for me, so I interrupted.
Response from the operator: Subject: Dispute Request: Review Removal for Failure to Follow Instructions / Inaccurate Claim of Double Charging 1. Review Details Product Name: Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure Platform: Viator / TripAdvisor Review Title: Svårt, men nog kul för den som gillar riktigt svåra gåtor. Review Text: "Det var lite svårt att komma igång. När jag väl hade betalat kom man in på en annan sida där det var en ny avgift. Men man kunde prova två ledtrådar gratis. Fast de var för svåra för mig, så jag avbröt." (Translation: "A bit hard to get started. Once I had paid, you got to another page where there was a new fee. But you could try two clues for free. Though they were too hard for me, so I quit.") Key Issue: The customer failed to unlock the purchased tour using their booking reference number, mistakenly accessed the app's free preview mode, falsely claimed there was an additional fee required, and never experienced the full, unlocked product. 2. The Core Argument This review violates Viator’s review policies regarding factual accuracy, misleading claims, and failure to utilize the purchased service as instructed. Factual Inaccuracy Regarding Additional Fees: The reviewer claims that after paying on Viator, they were taken to a page demanding a "new fee." This is completely false. The Questo app never requires an additional fee for Viator ticket holders. Failure to Follow Activation Instructions: The customer did not enter their Viator booking number into the app to unlock their paid content. As a result, the app defaulted to its standard free trial mode (which allows users to preview the first 2 clues/chapters before prompting for activation or purchase). Rather than unlocking their prepaid game with their booking reference, the customer assumed they were being charged again and abandoned the experience. Failure to Experience the Product: Because the traveler never unlocked the game, they only experienced a preview fragment and aborted the tour entirely. Penalizing the listing based on a false accusation of double-charging—caused entirely by the user's failure to input their booking code—misrepresents the product's actual pricing and functionality to future customers. 3. Evidence of Disclosure Product Listing & Format: The listing explicitly describes the product as a 100% self-guided exploration game played via the Questo mobile app, requiring zero additional purchases. "Before You Go" / Additional Info: The Viator listing clearly states that travelers must download the mobile app and redeem their purchase using their booking details. Post-Booking Instructions: Immediately upon booking, the customer receives an automated confirmation voucher and message specifying the exact steps to play: Download the Questo app and create an account. Enter the Viator booking reference number as the unlock code to access the full tour for free. Reach out to 24/7 customer support via the app if any activation difficulty occurs. 4. Explicit Call to Action Because the customer’s review contains demonstrably false allegations regarding pricing (claiming there was an extra fee to proceed) and stems from failing to input their provided booking reference to unlock the product, it violates Viator's guidelines on factual accuracy and genuine product evaluation. We respectfully request that the Viator Moderation Team remove this review from the listing.

Stockholm ,recommended
Great, beautiful city, clean, ordered, no dirt on the street or grafiti. Everything from the center to reach. Abba, advici you must visit. Ice bar also very nice, cruise also recommended. From the airport you are very quickly by train in the center. December was deliberately chosen by us and the city was fully decorated. The five days -unfortunately - flew by.
Response from the operator: Wat geweldig om te horen dat jullie zo'n fantastische tijd hebben gehad in het prachtig versierde Stockholm! Het is super dat de stad en de sfeer zo goed zijn bevallen tijdens jullie verblijf. Hopelijk ontdekken jullie snel weer een nieuwe stad met een van onze quests!

Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 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 Stockholm is not rushed.
Is Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure?
+
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 Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure?
+
Around 4 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. 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 Stockholm?
+
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 Stockholm?
+
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.
What is included in Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure?
+
Included: Atmospheric paranormal storyline content; 13 ghost-themed puzzle challenges; Mobile access code; and Flexibility to pause/resume anytime. Not included: A tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure?
+
• Go to Wrangel Palace (game starting point). • Bring a charged phone. • Open the app and follow the instructions. • You must have downloaded the app and created an account first. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Stockholm Ghost Hunt: Self-Guided Tour and Puzzle Adventure offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Swedish and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
