Sweden: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in Sweden into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in 10 cities in Sweden, from Stockholm and Gothenburg to Malmö, and in smaller cities such as Ystad and Karlskrona.
You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a city in Sweden in a single afternoon.

Swedish cities are built for walking and for water. Stockholm spreads across fourteen islands, with the medieval lanes of Gamla Stan on one side and broad shopping streets on the other. Gothenburg, on the west coast, grew as a port and keeps its canals, its fish market and a long café culture. In the south, Malmö and Ystad are flat, compact and full of brick and half-timbered houses, while Uppsala is a university town north of Stockholm, gathered around a cathedral and a castle.
Summer days are long, so an evening game still has daylight; in winter it gets dark early and the routes work better in the afternoon. Swedish cafés keep the fika habit, which makes a natural halfway break. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
