Labyrint is a game show in which teams of three children teleport to an underwater lair to face a series of challenges from a menagerie of robots and their slime-loving inventor, Daidalos. It is produced by SVT in Sweden and NRK in Norway, and has spawned numerous spin-off series, songs, toys, and boardgames.
You can watch Labyrint in Swedish via SVT Play and in Norwegian via the NRK website.
Both networks also have Labyrint on their children's sites, SVT Barn and NRK Super.
This page was made because a few people have asked me about the watch order for Labyrint, and this felt like the easiest way to share a chronological timeline. If you are interested in the show's continuity, you may need to watch parts of both versions to see it all. I will also be adding a list of characters as a reference for fans, friends of fans, and/or adult caretakers of fans.
NRK airdates are taken from the NRK website. SVT airdates are sourced from TVDB.com and Facebook posts, and may be missing or incorrect.

Note: instructional, behind-the-scenes, and compilation materials are not included in the above timeline. Daidalos and the robots have also made many appearances in other shows and events by both networks that are not listed, such as Sommarlov, Blime!, and Superkrim.
An inventor and the creator of the underwater Labyrinth world.
Leif Andrée is the first actor to play Daidalos. He conceived of the character as genderless and plays them as neither a man nor a woman.
Jeppe Beck Laursen was the first Norwegian Daidalos, playing the character for the first 3 seasons of the NRK version. He also plays HĂŠsten in the TV series The Last Kingdom and can be seen in nearly every Tommy Wirkola-directed movie.
HĂ„vard Lilleheie is an actor and TV host who took on the role from season 4 of the NRK show. He stars in the American film Au Pair, Kansas, also known as The Soccer Nanny.
Taurus
The first robot introduced in Labyrint and the minotaur of the titular labyrinth. Taurus stands at a towering 225 cm tall and can spray a stream of slime, which he uses to "tag" contestants he finds in the labyrinth, who must then spend the rest of the game in a cage.
Mutter/Muttern
Shaped like a nut and bolt and constantly emitting smelly fumes, Mutter(n) is a sewer robot who loves to eat slime balls and clean the Labyrinth World.
Bulton/Bolten
Daidalos' first robot, and not without flaws. Bulton/Bolten carries a large wrench to help with maintenance, but falls asleep easily. Luckily, Bulton/Bolten also wakes up easily. The wrench is mostly used to hit things and Bulton/Bolten seems far more interested in destruction than repairs, but he remains a beloved part of Daidalos' menagerie.
Flip
A small, non-competing, "house pet" robot built by Daidalos in the first season of Labyint (SVT). Flip communicates through squeaks and cheers on the contestants. Despite their size, Flip is often the one saving the other residents of the Labyrinth World and acting as a voice of reason.
Krampus
Is he a crab or a spider? Yes. Krampus has sharp, scissor-like claws that can cut through the strings that play a central role in his games.
Phyton/Pyton
A small robot that lives in the Labyrinth World's slime pipe system. Phyton/Pyton emerges from pools of slime to distract contestants by spraying them with slime.
Minus
Gronken/Grompen
Stinger/Spinner
Kamina
Daidalos' twin sister and equal as an inventor.
Charlott Strandberg is an actress and singer who plays Daidalosa for SVT.
Silya Nymoen is a singer who plays Daidalosa for NRK. She is currently a judge on Norske talenter and keeps chickens.
Lupus
A yellow, wolf-like robot that Daidalosa built as a child. Parts of Lupus were scattered and hidden, but one hand entered the modern Labyrinth World (Bultens krossar) and posessed Krampus (I Krampus klor). Lupus was reconstructed after Los retrieved his other parts from the oldest parts of the Labyrinth World (Los og Lupus) and the House of Daida (Huset Daida), and he remains loyal to Daidalosa. One of Lupus' hands can be swapped for several tools, allowing Lupus to partake in any of the Labryint games.
Gorgo
Designed by Anna Sortti
Daidalosa's first robot built in the modern labyrinth world.
Played by: Kerstin Linden (Los & Lupus, Daidalosas hÀmnd/hevn) and Inanna Kino (Volfram vaknar/vÄkner), and Emil Magnus Strand Eide and Ella Korsvold KvalÞ (Monsterets Hjerte)
Norwegian dubbing in Los og Lupus, Daidalosas hevn, and Volfram vÄkner: Emil Eide (Los) and Miri Mjaaland (Losa)
Swedish dubbing for Monsterets hjÀrta: ??
The childhood versions of Daidalos and Daidalosa. In the present day, they are recreated via "slimogram" to perform tasks that the adult Daidalos and Daidalosa cannot do. As this is a children's series, we will not be going into how existentially horrifying that is.
Played by: Johanna Wilson
Norwegian voice: Idun Daae Alstad
The main villain of Volfram vaknar/vÄkner and Monsterets hjÀrta/hjerte who was corrupted by purple slime and likes to melt down robots.
Volfram
Karp and Gnager
Played by Sofia Bach and Eric Stern
Employees of Kobolt who she rebuit as robots. Each has a disguise that goes by Vivi (Sofia RönnengÄrd) and Valder (Kalle Rydberg), respectively.
