Lilla torg

This self-guided walking tour game starts at Lilla torg in Malmö, surrounded by well-preserved buildings from several eras. You can see half-timbered houses from the 1500-1600's, stone buildings from the 1800's and mortared buildings from the 1900's. You have come here 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 Lilla torg...

Malmö

You and your companion head over to the house where Ichabod once lived, to see if you can find clues to his disappearance. Walk through one of Malmö's most picturesque streets, full of colorful little houses. This area is one of the very few that were saved from the extensive demolitions and city planning that happened in Malmö during modern times. Some of the buildings here are preserved from the 1600's.

Duration 5 minutes

Slottstradgarden

You follow a lead from Ichabod's journal and visit Slottsträdgården botanical gardens. These gardens were established by a group of volonteers on what was once a barren part of the citadel area. While in the garden, you examine some of Ichabod's belongings.

Duration 10 minutes

Slottsparken

You head over to Slottsparken park, to meet a person who might have witnessed something having to do with the Headless Horseman. On the way there, you walk through the park, which was established in an English style in the 1800's.

Duration 10 minutes

Kungsparken

The conversation you had with the witness paid off, and she points you towards Kungsparken. You head over to the adjoining Kungsparken park. You'll find a nice pond, lush green areas and a few art installations here, as well as some very strange sounds that you need to investigate...

Duration 10 minutes

Malmo Radhus

Your friend is still missing, but you are desperately trying to find her. A passage of Ichabod's journal leads to the Malmö city hall. The current city hall was constructed during the 1530's and finished in 1546. Previously, there was a convent in this location.

Duration 5 minutes
7
St. Petri (St. Peter's Church)

You reach the St. Petri church, which dates back to the 1300's. This seems to be the last location where Ichabod was seen, and traces from your friend leads you here as well. What will you discover outside the church that might clear up both disappearances?
