The Nicked Christmas
Kick off your little Christmas party in Helsinki’s most captivating escape room
Looking for something to do at your pikkujoulu, the Finnish little Christmas party? This escape room is full of Christmas spirit for elf-minded work crews and families alike. So dig out your pointy elf hat and tiptoe off to book a game!
If you belt out Christmas medleys even at Midsummer and dig out the decorations at the start of October, this game is for you! Here you’ll be hot on Christmas’s trail – quite literally – when Santa vanishes from Korvatunturi in the middle of a cosy session reading wish lists. You’ll hack into Korvatunturi’s surveillance network, examine the letters Santa has received and work out who the rascal is that nabbed him.
Planning an evening for the whole work crew? Check out office Christmas parties in Helsinki to see the prices and how even a group of a hundred can fit into the game.
Players
If you and your group are passionate escape gamers, the ideal team size is 4-6 people. We recommend splitting groups of more than 12 into several teams. We can run four games at the same time when you book two weeks in advance. If you’re celebrating something with an escape game and a fun evening together is what matters most, you can play in as big a group as you like. If you don’t have a gang of escape room addicts yet, you can also jump into one of our open group games.
Content warning
We’re not a traditional escape room – our games are a mix of theatre, adventure and puzzles. That’s why they suit people who love to throw themselves in and want to crack more than just locks and number codes.
This game is especially suited to families and as an office Christmas party activity.
Our games use a safe word, so you can let us know if something gets too intense.

Game area
We haven’t just built you a single room – the stage for the game is an abandoned hospital spanning tens of thousands of square metres, or the whole of Helsinki. The eerie surroundings and the actors lurking in them have made almost every one of our groups scream.
Premium games take you to places like a restaurant and an abandoned hospital. In the Classic games, the whole game takes place on the hospital grounds. You can also book this game at your own venue – say, as entertainment for a birthday or a recreation day.
Actors
It’s the actors who make our games feel so real.
They’re everywhere: on the phone, at the other end of messages, on video and, of course, in person – and depending on the game, they’re on your side… or against you.
In this game you'll meet characters who all have secrets of their own.
Ropes
Fancy feeling the thrill of more than just the finale?
In all our Premium games you get to descend by rope from a balcony of the abandoned hospital.
You can also add the same experience to Classic games when you book. If a nine-metre descent feels too wild, not everyone in the group has to do it.
Story
The story begins the moment you step inside, and you can get into your role as little or as much as you like.
Every puzzle moves the story forward, and not a single detail or lock is disconnected from it. Best of all, the game feels like stepping into the middle of a film whose plot you can change.
Puzzles
Number codes don’t take centre stage in our games, so you get to use every kind of smarts you’ve got.
Our puzzles draw on different senses, so you can use your whole body to crack the clues – from your ears to your fingertips.
Extras
Need a babysitter during the game, or want to surprise the guest of honour at a stag or hen party?
Would you like the game at your home?
How about accessible clues in Braille, or a rope descent in a wheelchair?
Tell us what you’d like, and we’ll make it happen!
Player feedback
- Aivan omassa luokassan oleva pakopelikokemus! Paikka oli loistava ja ammattitaitoiset näyttelijät tekivät kokemuksesta ainutlaatuisen. Välillä karmi niin, että ihokarvat nousivat pystyyn. Lopun huipennus 3. kerroksesta köysillä alas kruunasi koko porukan lauantai-illan, ja puhuttavaa riitti vielä seuraavaksikin päiväksi.
- Ihan mielettömän hauska ja erilainen pakohuone! Näyttelijät olivat todella hyviä ja lukivat hienosti muuttuvia tilanteita! Nuorisokin tykkäsi ja saatiin kyllä hyvät naurut säikähdyksistä! =D Paikka oli itesesaään myös huikea nähtävyys! Suosittelen erittäin lämpimästi ja kiitos vielä vetäjille!
- Todella hauska ja ainutlaatuinen kokemus! Useissa pakohuoneissa käyneenä tämä erottui edukseen erityisesti elävien näyttelijöiden ansiosta, jotka tekivät elämyksestä aidontuntuisen ja ohjasi tarinaa sujuvasti eteenpäin. Tämä ei ollut pelkkää pulmien ratkomista ja huoneesta pakenista, vaan kokonaisvaltainen kokemus, jossa sai (pitää) heittäytyä mukaan. Suosittelen lämpimästi kaikille, jotka kaipaavat vaihtelua perinteisiin pulmahuoneisiin.
