Boda Borg in Karlskoga, Sweden

Boda Borg is a chain of entertainment facilities located throughout Sweden, as well as in Ireland, Switzerland and the United States. Each location consists of multiple "quests," which each contain a series of rooms. The patrons of the facility must use either mental or physical skills to proceed into the next room and eventually the end of the quest.[1] As of 2020, it operates seven locations in Sweden, located in Karlskoga, Karlskrona, Oxelösund, Skellefteå, Sävsjö, Torpshammar, and Östersund; one location in Ireland, located in Lough Key Forest Park; one location in Switzerland, located in Zürich; and one location in the U.S., located in Malden, Massachusetts.

History[]

The first facility was opened in 1995 in Torpshammar, Sweden, a village located in the Ånge Municipality.[2][3] It was the result of a government project to find new ideas in the context of rural development in northern Sweden.[4]

In 2008, current CEO David Spigner and three other investors purchased Boda Borg and formed the international Boda Borg Corporation, which is headquartered in Laguna Hills, California.[5]

In 2015, entrepreneur Chad Ellis opened Boda Borg Boston in Malden, Massachusetts. This was Boda Borg's first location in the United States.[6]
