The Headless Horseman in London: A Self-Guided Walking Tour Game

1 to 2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Swedish and 3 more

A spooky self-guided walking tour game through London's Primrose Hill and Camden.

You have made new friends online. They've found an old journal and are trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of its owner. The old notes describe a headless horseman haunting London. 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 London. Participate in the story in each location through gamification. Examine items and crack codes while you explore the city'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 Chalk Farm underground station. Once you are there, open the app and start the Headless Horseman walking tour game. You have come to Chalk Farm 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 underground station...

    Primrose Hill

    You and your companion head over to the building 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 Primrose Hill area during the first half of the tour. Primrose Hill was established as a London suburb in the 1800's and was eventually enveloped by the city as it expanded.

    You follow a lead from Ichabod's journal and visit the beautiful Primrose Hill Park. While in the park, you examine some of Ichabod's belongings. If you want to, you can pause the tour here and go to the Primrose Hill Park lookout point, which has a nice view of the city.

    Regent's Canal

    You have met with a witness, who had a scary encounter with the Headless Horseman. She points you towards the towpath of the Regent's Canal, which runs from from Primrose Hill to the Camden market. The towpath were used by horses in the 1700-1800's, pulling boats loaded with cargo along the canal. There were also stables along the canal for horses that were used for work on the railway. You go down there to investigate some strange noises...

    Your friend is still missing, but you are desperately trying to find her. A passage of Ichabod's journal leads to the haunted pub The World's End. It is said that the pub is placed in the same location as where a woman who were accused of being a witch once lived. Supposedly, she still haunts the pub and the surrounding area.

    You reach the Trinity United Reformed church in Camden. 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?
