Description
A self-guided walking tour game based on a series of historic events in Stockholm - told with a large dose of dark humor. Explore the city, learn some history and laugh along the way.
Join Glenn the ghost on an audio walking tour through Stockholm - a city he strongly dislikes. Learn about Stockholm's history in a very entertaining and gamified way, as you explore the city.
Glenn was proud to be from Gothenburg when he was still alive, so why is his soul stuck on the east coast, haunting stupid Stockholm? Does it have anything to do with a mysterious box left by his mother in a Stockholm storage space?
Go for a walk with Glenn to pick up the box, and save him from roaming the streets of Stockholm for all of eternity. Glenn shares anecdotes about historic Stockholm failures as you walk. The murder of King Gustav III? Very clumsily planned, if you ask Glenn. The Vasa ship? Any deckhand from Gothenburg would have done a better construction job, considering that it sank on its maiden voyage. And don't even get him started on the Stockholm bloodbath...
This audio tour is self-guided via a GPS-based app downloaded to your smartphone. When you buy the tour you will receive an email with instructions on how to download the app which serves as your guide and narrator. Once you have the app installed, head out to the tour starting point, open the app, put your headphones on and get ready for your history walk! Listen to the story while you walk, and help Glenn unpack items and clues to his past from the box in each location. The further you walk, the closer you get to finding the truth of why Glenn is haunting a city he despises.
This walking tour is perfect for those who want to go sightseeing in Stockholm in a fun and independent manner. This experience is completely flexible: you can start, pause and end it whenever it suits you.
Step into Stockholm history, as told by a ghost who is involuntarily stuck there.
