The Headless Horseman in Edinburgh: Self-guided walking tour game
Overview
A spooky, self-guided walking tour game through central Edinburgh.
You have made new friends online. They have found an old journal and are trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of its owner. The old notes describe a Headless Horseman haunting Edinburgh. Maybe the journal also offers the clues needed to find out what happened? You are invited to join an investigation, but one of your new friends never shows up at your agreed meeting spot. Follow clues through Edinburgh. Participate in the story in each location through gamification. Examine mysterious items and crack codes while you explore the city's historical surroundings.
This audio walking tour game 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 and narrator.
