Ghosts of Old Town
Curious about the ghosts and ghouls wandering the streets of Stockholm? Join Gideon, one of the city’s oldest spirits, for a tour of Old town’s most haunted locations.
Gideon came to the North in the 10th century as a missionary. However, as he couldn’t complete his mission before he died, he had to accept an unorthodox agreement. Long story short; the only reason why he’s still here is a contract with the Devil.
It takes a lot to make Gideon smile these days, but he is pleased with your company. Maybe you could even help him with some of his tasks, since he is now the caretaker of the dead?
Stockholm’s dark history
Gideon will bring you with him to visit a few Old town ghosts, like The White Lady, Lasse Lucidor and The Grey Man. In each location he’ll need your assistance to keep the ghosts calm and complacent.
Sound, illustrations and game elements turn this walking tour into a spooky stroll through the Stockholm underworld. Participate in the story in each location through gamification. Set ghosts free from their graves, listen to the testimonies of the city executioners, and throw rocks at Gideon’s immortal enemy; the folklore creature Näcken. Gideon tells you about the dark history of Stockholm as you walk through the narrow alleys of Old Town.
