Isn’t the first day at a new job always exciting? When the three of us was lucky enough to land a job at Nobel’s Dynamite Factory, we couldn’t say no to this completely normal job.

After getting into our lab coats and putting on safety glasses, everything was ready.

Our boss told us that, lately, there had been a few accidents in the factory, leaving them with only us to do this job. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say everything didn’t go smoothly for us either.

Nobels Dynamite Factory is the best room I played in Stockholm. In many ways it’s a standard room, but where it shines, is in its puzzles, and feel.

What I love about this room, and the other rooms at this location, is that I feel they are made with passion, both for puzzles, and for the history behind each room.

During our 51 minute stay in the factory, the game managed to give us a great feeling of progression, and even had a puzzle built into something we almost forgot existed at all.

The room had a lot of great puzzles, and a couple of very tactile ones might be my favorites. There was even a couple of explosive surprises here and there. Saying more would turn this into spoiler territory, and I wouldn’t want to go there.

If you are in Stockholm, and want to get stuck in a factory for an hour, I would 100% reccommend Nobel’s Factory.

Johannes Lindrupsen always enjoyed solving puzzles and playing board games, so when he played his first escape room in 2017, it was love at first sight. 250 rooms later, and he is always planning and dreaming of the next trip! For Johannes, the puzzles are the most important part of a good experience, but he also loves weird and different rooms to break up the norm. Besides loving escape rooms, a lot of his free time is spent on a board game YouTube channel with his wife. (www.youtube.com/boardgamingramblings)
