A self-guided audio walking tour through Ystad, based on Henning Mankell’s Kurt Wallander short story ”The Death of the Photographer”.
It is a chilly spring morning in 1988. Police detective Kurt Wallander is having breakfast when he is alerted that a local photographer has been found brutally murdered. The events of the murder are curious, and it becomes even more strange when Wallander finds a photo album that contains a grotesquely distorted image of himself at the crime scene.
This audio tour is self-guided via a GPS-based app downloaded to your smartphone. There will be clues and evidence material hidden in your surroundings – features that are triggered to show up on your mobile screen when you get close to them. Through sound, images, and exciting puzzles you will be challenged to use your detective skills to solve this case. This walking tour is perfect for those who want to go sightseeing in Ystad in a fun and flexible manner, as well as for audio book- and puzzle game fans

A nice city tour that didn't get boring. You didn’t have to do much puzzles, however, but nevertheless a nice experience and many impressions, which we like to take with us.

Die Story ist ja ganz nett, aber es waren überraschend und enttäuschend wenig Rätsel zu lösen. Vor allem klärt man ja nicht den Mordfall im eigentlich Sinn.
Was mich sehr gestört hat, ist, dass schwedische Eigennamen deutsch und somit völlig falsch ausgesprochen werden. Das ließe sich doch sicher beheben?
