Overview

Curious about the ghosts and ghouls wandering the streets of Stockholm? With this self-guided walking tour game you can join Gideon the ghost for a tour of Old Town's most haunted locations.

Gideon will take you to visit a few Old Town spirits, like The White Lady and The Grey Man. In each location you visit, he'll need your assistance with a few tasks to keep the restless ghosts calm.

This audio walking tour 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, game and narrator. Listen to the storey while you walk, and help Gideon in each location. Set a ghost free from its grave, visit the city executioners, and throw rocks at Gideon's immortal enemy; the folklore creature Näcken. Gideon will tell you everything he knows about Stockholm's dark history as you stroll through the narrow alleys of Old Town.

You can start, pause and end the tour when you want.

Activity itinerary

Solgränd

This self-guided walking tour game starts in Solgränd in Stockholm's Old Town. Open the mobile app and start the Ghosts and Ghouls of Old Town tour here. Gideon the ghost will greet you and invite you to walk around with him, as he completes his tasks as a caretaker for the dead.

Stortorget

Gideon takes you to Stortorget square, where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place in 1520. He shares the storey of what happened during those fateful days when nearly 100 people lost their heads here.

Kindstugatan

You continue to Kindstugatan, and the former location of the Fimmelstången tavern, where a famous bard was killed in the 17:th century. Gideon requires your help to operate a radio playing one of the bard's lovely tunes.

Själagårdsgatan

You follow Gideon to Själagården, a former lodging house for the old, poor and sick. The ghosts at Själagården are upset, because humans have tried to expel them by hammering iron nails into the doorframe. Maybe you can help Gideon to calm the restless spirits?

The Royal Palace

It's time to join Gideon for a visit to the Royal Palace and its noble ghosts. When you get there, the White Lady meets you outside and pleads for your help with an unpleasant task.

Norrbro

You make a stop at a former execution site at Norrbro, where King Magnus Ladulås was executed in the 1200's. Gideon thinks he can hear a ghost calling for help, and asks for your assistance.

Norrström

Suddenly you hear fiddle music coming from the water, and Gideon becomes upset. It's his nemesis, the folklore creature Näcken, who is trying to lure unsuspecting tourists into the water. Gideon asks for your help to make Näcken go away.

Prastgatan

Gideon takes you to the most notorious ghost location in Old Town: Hell's alley. This is where the former city executioners reside in life after death. You need to be careful and don't let them trick you.

Riddarholm Church (Riddarholmskyrkan)

Finally, you reach the Riddarholmen church and Gideon's home. It seems like Gideon has saved one final surprise for you here...
