What to expect
Visby
This self-guided walking tour game starts by a big tree at Artilleribacken in Visby, Sweden. Sigge the cat is hiding in the tree, but he'll come down and join you for a walk.
5 minutes
Skansport
You follow Sigge and walk the steps up onto the Visby city wall, to look for his master. Once there, you see the lit beacon fires outside the wall. It seems like the enemy is approaching?
5 minutes
Söderport (Southern Gate)
You walk alongside the medieval Visby city wall as you follow Sigge's master towards the next gate. People start gathering outside, preparing for battle.
Kajsarporten
You help Sigge move some rocks and climb out through a hole in the city wall. Suddenly, you find yourself in the middle of the battle field, with arrows coming from every direction! Sigge asks for your help to stay safe against enemy fire.
5 minutes
Korsbetningen
Once the battle is over you follow Sigge to the memorial of the fallen Gotlanders - a stone cross at Korsbetningen. Sigge is worried his master might be amongst the dead, and you help him look through some items left in the area to see if any of it belongs to him.
5 minutes
Visby
You see the Danish King enter Visby after the battle, and you decide to make your way back into town. As you walk, Sigge asks to make a stop at a beautiful Visby lookout point to show you something.
5 minutes
You reach the St. Karin cathedral ruins - a church built in the 1200's - and the main city square. Is it really true that the Danish King threatens to burn Visby to the ground, unless its citizens collect all their valuables and give them to him? Sigge helps you to sort fact from fiction.
5 minutes

You go back to Sigge's house, to look for his master there. On the way, Sigge tells you about the aftermath of the battle.
