The Headless Horseman in Bergen: A Self Guided Walking Tour Game
A spooky, self-guided walking tour game through central Bergen.
You have made two new friends online. They have found an old journal and are trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of its owner. The old notes describe a terrifying headless horseman haunting Bergen. 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 Bergen. 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.
