Additional Information

An autonomous audio promenade play detailing the factual account of three women from Visby, falsely accused of practicing witchcraft.

The narrative uncovers the chilling series of events initiated in spring 1705, following the false indictment of the healer, Little Ingeborg, for witchcraft. This accusation soon results in three blameless women being ruthlessly confined in one of Visby’s detention towers, and subjected to harsh scrutiny.

This engaging auditory adventure guides you through various historical landmarks located in the heart of the city. The recounting voice of the tour is a female, once a resident of the city, who was acquainted with the prosecuted. However, she requires your assistance to recall her identity and understand her involvement in the incidents.

As you traverse together through the city, you uncover evidence that reveals the actual series of events and the story gradually unravels. Could it be possible that the malign forces of Visby were completely unrelated to witchcraft?

You can participate in this audio tour via a GPS-enabled app on your smartphone, at your own pace.

Lovely Town and interesting way to see it - This tour was ok. I should have downloaded it whilst I had free wifi though. I was going to do this walk with my husband but he was unable to come along. I think that was probably best as it’s not really a group activity with earbuds. I had issues with the app when I wanted to take photos and I had to log back in mostly and then go through the safely info for the 90th time. I also found it difficult to interact with the screen because the day was bright. I did find it interesting though. I would probably do one again but take time to read the full instructions this time.

Downloaded and ran ok BUT unusable without headphones - A good idea and instructions/map were ok to guide us to the starting point (though we had a paper map that helped). Unfortunately we had absolutely no way of listening to the little videos (which looked good) and there were no subtitles for the reasonably lengthy audio segments, so it was a washout for us. To be fair, it says you should use headphones, but I would have welcomed clarity that it wasn't just advisable but absolutely essential and the game wouldn't work without them...
