Local tips
- Book your room well in advance for evenings and weekends, especially if you need multiple identical rooms for a competitive group challenge.
- Aim to arrive 10–15 minutes before your time slot to handle check‑in, briefings and restroom visits so you enjoy the full game time inside the room.
- Choose your theme according to group experience: story-forward rooms like Da Vinci suit mixed groups, while Downfall offers a denser challenge for seasoned players.
- Wear comfortable clothing and shoes; you will spend an hour on your feet moving around, crouching, reaching and exploring the set.
- Plan a post-game drink or meal nearby in Østerbro; half the fun is re‑living close calls and puzzle breakthroughs while they are still fresh.

Getting There
-
Metro
From central Copenhagen, take the M3 Cityringen metro toward Østerbro and get off at Vibenshus Runddel Station. The journey typically takes 8–12 minutes, and metros run every few minutes throughout the day. A single-zone ticket or city travel card, usually costing around 20–25 DKK, covers the trip. From the station it is a short, step‑free urban walk along main roads, suitable for most visitors and usable in all seasons.
-
City bus
Several city bus lines run through Østerbro from the inner city and Nørrebro, with travel times usually between 15 and 25 minutes depending on traffic. Standard bus tickets fall in the same 20–25 DKK range as the metro and can be bought via ticket machines or mobile apps. Buses offer low-floor access but can be crowded during rush hours, so allow extra time if you are travelling with a large group or children.
-
Bicycle
Copenhagen’s extensive cycle-lane network makes reaching Østerbro by bike straightforward from most central districts in about 10–20 minutes. You can use city bikes or standard rentals, typically costing from 40–80 DKK per hour depending on the provider. The route is almost entirely on segregated lanes with gentle gradients, though wet or icy conditions in winter require extra care. Bicycle parking is widely available near Aldersrogade.
-
Taxi or rideshare
Taxis from the central city to Østerbro usually take 10–20 minutes outside peak traffic. Fares tend to start with a base fee and end up in the 120–200 DKK range depending on distance and congestion. This option is convenient for late-evening games or groups who prefer direct door-to-door travel. Larger groups should request a minivan in advance, as regular taxis have limited luggage and passenger space.

Immersive missions in the heart of Østerbro
Step inside Escape Room by Midgaard Event and you leave everyday Copenhagen behind. The venue occupies a contemporary space on Aldersrogade, a short walk from the bustle of Østerbro, but once the briefing starts you are transported into other worlds: Renaissance Italy, gaslit London, a Cold War bunker or a high-security lab on the brink of catastrophe. Corridors double as neutral ground between adventures, with a lounge area where groups gather before and after their game, trading theories and laughing over close calls. This is a purpose-built escape room centre rather than a single-room attraction, which means there is an unusually broad range of scenarios under one roof. Groups can pick the atmosphere that suits them: classic mystery, thriller, historical intrigue or tongue-in-cheek heist. Lighting, sound design and detailed props are used to build tension without ever tipping into horror, making it suitable for mixed-age groups who enjoy suspense more than jump scares.Stories that put you at the centre of the plot
The venue’s signature experiences are story-driven. In the Da Vinci rooms you chase clues linked to secret orders and relics, racing to uncover the Holy Grail before time runs out. Sherlock-themed games invite you to step into the role of investigators trying to stop a conspiracy that threatens the British monarchy, piecing together subtle evidence across interconnected spaces. Sci‑fi and thriller fans gravitate toward the Outbreak rooms, where a raging epidemic forms the backdrop for a race to complete a life-saving cure. The Downfall mission transports you to a Soviet military base in 1989, casting you as undercover agents navigating retro equipment and tense Cold War stakes. Narrative snippets, set dressing and in-character hosts knit the experience together, so your 60 minutes feel closer to a compact interactive film than a simple puzzle session.Designed for groups from beginners to seasoned puzzlers
Each room is engineered around collaboration rather than obscure riddles. Expect a mix of logic challenges, pattern recognition, physical mechanisms and hidden compartments. Tasks are structured so several people can work in parallel, which keeps everyone engaged whether you come as a couple, a family or a larger team of friends or colleagues. Because many rooms exist in multiple identical copies, competitive groups can split into teams and face off in the same scenario, racing the clock and each other. Corporate groups use this for team-building sessions, while families often choose a single room for a shared challenge. Game masters monitor your progress via cameras and audio, offering nudges in character if you get stuck, keeping tension high without letting frustration creep in.Flexible spaces for celebrations and company events
Beyond the game rooms themselves, Escape Room by Midgaard Event functions as a compact event venue. A lounge styled with board games, soft seating and subtle Nordic touches acts as a base for pre-briefings and debriefs. Larger groups can book multiple rooms simultaneously and then regroup here for snacks, informal speeches or celebrations. Meeting facilities such as the atmospheric "library" room provide space for workshops or strategy sessions before or after a game, turning a standard off-site into something more memorable. Optional add-ons, from simple drinks to full catering, allow you to tailor the visit to a bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday, school outing or corporate away day without needing to move between locations.Indoor entertainment for Copenhagen’s changing weather
Copenhagen’s seasons can swing from bright Nordic summers to long, wet winters, and this is one of the city’s more weather-proof activities. All missions take place indoors with controlled lighting and sound, so you can book a time slot without worrying about rain, wind or early darkness. Opening hours typically stretch from morning to late evening, especially on weekends, which makes it easy to fit a game before dinner in Østerbro or as a finale to a day of sightseeing. Because sessions run on a fixed schedule and last around an hour, planning is straightforward. Arriving a little early allows time for a briefing and to store coats and bags. Once inside the room, the outside world falls away; for one intense, atmospheric hour your focus narrows to locks, levers, hidden codes and that glowing countdown clock on the wall.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
