Overview

Curious about the ghosts and ghouls wandering the streets of Stockholm? With this self-guided walking tour game you can join Gideon the ghost for a tour of Old Town's most haunted locations. Gideon will take you to visit a few Old Town spirits, like The White Lady and The Grey Man. In each location you visit, he'll need your assistance with a few tasks to keep the restless ghosts calm. This audio walking tour 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, game and narrator. Listen to the story while you walk, and help Gideon in each location. Set a ghost free from its grave, visit the city executioners, and throw rocks at Gideon's immortal enemy; the folklore creature Näcken. Gideon will tell you everything he knows about Stockholm's dark history as you stroll through the narrow alleys of Old Town. You can start, pause and end the tour when you want.
