A spooky, self-guided walking tour game through Visby.
You have made new friends online. They have found an old journal and are trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of its owner. The old notes contain descriptions of a headless horseman haunting Visby. Maybe the journal also offers the clues needed to find out what happened?
You are invited to join an investigation, but one of your new friends never shows up at your agreed meeting spot.
Follow clues through the Visby city center. Participate in the story in each location through gamification. Examine items and crack codes while you explore the Visby's historical surroundings.
This audio walking tour game is self-guided via a GPS-based app downloaded to your phone. When you buy the tour you'll receive an email with instructions on how to download the app which serves as your guide and narrator. Listen to the story while you walk, and solve puzzles in each location.
You can start, pause and end the tour when you want.

This self-guided walking tour game starts outside the St. Nicolai church ruin. Once you are there, open the app and start the Headless Horseman walking tour game. You have come to St. Nicolai to meet two people you've gotten to know through an online ghost hunter forum. They have invited you to join an investigation of the 200-year-old disappearance of Ichabod Crane. But, as you stand waiting, only one of your new friends show up outside the old church ruin...

You and your companion head over to the house where Ichabod once lived, to see if you can find clues to his disappearance, and maybe find your friend. You'll walk through the quaint neighborhood of Klinten, which was once the area where the city's poor and the town executioner lived.

You follow a lead from Ichabod's journal and visit one of the most preserved church ruins in Visby. St. Karin was originally built by franciscan monks in the early 1200's, but have been expanded throughout the years. While making a stop outside the ruin, you decide to examine some of Ichabod's belongings.

Your friend is still missing, but you are desperately trying to find her. A passage of Ichabod's journal leads to an old convent gate, so you go there to look for more clues.

You reach the Visby Cathedral, which dates back to the 13th century. This seems to be the last location where Ichabod was seen, and traces from your friend lead you here as well. What will you discover outside the church that might clear up both disappearances?
