    Invoice? which invoice?

    the experience was nice (despite of weather) but later, when I asked for the invoice, it turns to the real mistery. can you imagine of how many days you need to send the pdf copy of invoice to your client? one day? two? three? no way! I'm still waiting for it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, and I’m glad to hear you still enjoyed the experience overall despite the weather. That said, I’m really sorry about the frustration regarding the invoice. You’re absolutely right that this should not take days, and I understand how annoying it is when something as simple as a PDF invoice turns into a “mystery” of its own. We will look into this immediately and make sure your invoice is sent to you as soon as possible. If you still haven’t received it, please feel free to reach out directly so we can resolve it without further delay. Thank you for your patience, and again sorry for the inconvenience.

    Very fun game. My wife...

    Very fun game. My wife and I enjoyed it and will be adding this sort of adventure to our future travels. Very clever way to explore parts of the city.

    Response from the operator: Dear Investigator Bryan and wife, Thanks a ton for your sharp and insightful review — Sherlock would be proud! We truly appreciate your feedback and investigator skills. Mystery regards, Rasmus 🕵️‍♂️

    The Christiansborg mystery

    The actual experience of solving the mystery was nice, but whether you are 2 or 4 people about an envelope is the same. If you are a family with children, it is not worth buying the experience for 4 people.

    Best experience for the price!

    This mystery is more than worth it's price. I chose this experience because it was one of the cheapest options within mystery and escape room styled experiences and I was really happy that I did! I was entertained for 2 hours straight and I got really immersed in the history! This is definitely one of the most fun experiences I have done in a very long time. Highly recommend!

    The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Copenhagen.

    How much does The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 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 The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt?

    +

    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 The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt?

    +

    Around 2 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt 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, Copenhagen Highlights 3 Hour Bike Tour with local 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 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.
