Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Verold House of Vigdís

Step into the creative heart of the university! Here, words and melodies echo through lecture halls and bright windows, making it a beloved home for campus performances and international music events.

Háskólatorg

Welcome to Háskólatorg, the buzzing heart of the University of Iceland! Pop into this vibrant hive of study corners, cafés, and meeting spots—where minds mingle and ideas take off faster than a geysir! Grab a seat, fuel up with coffee, and let your inner brainiac mingle—this is where the campus buzzes brightest.

Sæmundur á selnum

Ready to get sealiously enchanted? Meet Sæmundur á Selnum at the University of Iceland—a bronze tableau where Sæmundur the Wise literally rides (and book‑smacks) the devil disguised as a seal. This whimsical freeze‑frame of folklore and academia brings just the right splash of legendary lore to campus strolls.

Askja

Get ready to geek out at Askja — not the volcano, but its sleek University of Iceland namesake! With a glassy façade reflecting Reykjavík’s heart and departments digging into biology and geosciences, this building brings serious I-scream‑for‑science vibes. Warning: puns may erupt spontaneously!

Árnagarður

Árnagarður—“Árni’s Garden”—is where Icelandic heritage takes root in modern halls. Named after scholar Árni Magnússon, the building buzzes with classrooms, offices, and a café where ideas percolate as smoothly as espresso. It’s proof that knowledge can grow in all seasons, even Reykjavik winters.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
