What to expect
You'll walk through Visby's medieval city center, which is on UNESCO's world heritage list. There are plenty of church ruins and other buildings in the city center which dates back to the 1200-1300's.
This self-guided walking tour game starts outside the St. Nicolai church ruin. Once you are there, open the app and start the Headless Horseman walking tour game. You have come to St. Nicolai 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 outside the old church ruin...
Nygatan
You and your companion head over to the house where Ichabod once lived, to see if you can find clues to his disappearance, and maybe find your friend. You'll walk through the quaint neighborhood of Klinten, which was once the area where the city's poor and the town executioner lived.
You follow a lead from Ichabod's journal and visit one of the most preserved church ruins in Visby. St. Karin was originally built by franciscan monks in the early 1200's, but have been expanded throughout the years. While making a stop outside the ruin, you decide to examine some of Ichabod's belongings.
DBW's Botanical Garden
You have met with a witness, who had a scary encounter with the Headless Horseman. She points you towards Visby's botanical gardens, which were established in the 1800's. You go over there to investigate some strange noises...
Klosterlängan
Your friend is still missing, but you are desperately trying to find her. A passage of Ichabod's journal leads to an old convent gate, so you go there to look for more clues.
Visby Cathedral
You reach the Visby Cathedral, which dates back to the 13th century. 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?
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
