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.

History
editThe 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]
