Headless Horseman in Gothenburg: Self-Guided Ghost Tour Game

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

A spooky, self-guided walking tour game through Gothenburg.

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 contain descriptions of a Headless Horseman haunting Gothenburg. 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 central Gothenburg. 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 Hotel Eggers at Drottningtorget, across the street from the central station. Once you are there, open the app and start the Headless Horseman walking tour game. You have come to Drottningstorget square 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 at your agreed meeting spot...

    You reach the German church, which dates back to the late 1700's. 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?
