The Escape Games
Kirkegata 20, 0153 Oslo, Norge 1 h 30 min
If you want to do something more active than just grabbing a beer, this is it. You get locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to get out. The rooms are well-designed, and you totally forget the outside world while you're at it. You have to use your brain, but mostly it's just fun.
Why it works
You'll quickly see how you handle a bit of stress together. Plus, the adrenaline makes the conversation flow easier afterwards.
What to order
Go for 'The Great Diamond Heist' – it's a classic that always works.
Best time to go
Saturday afternoon before heading out for the night.
What it costs
700–900 NOK
