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

Es hat Spaß gemacht. Wenn man die Bücher kennt ist es eine schöne Erfahrung. Man konnte die Stadt auf diesem Wege mal etwas anders besichtigen.

Det börjad redan med att det var jättesvårt att bekräfta sina biljetter (ja, det räcker inte med att köpa biljetterna/upplevelsen - du måste även bekräfta det en gång till). Länken funkade inte och efter att jag skapat konto på två olika hemsidor (ska man verkligen behöva det?) ringde vi supporten. Där fick vi prata med en person som bara pratade engelska och upprepade samma instruktioner om och om igen, även om det inte förde ärendet framåt. Till slut sa jag bara OK och la på. Efter lite sökande på internet så löste det sig till slut och vi genomförde aktiviteten. Den i sig var inget märkvärdigt, mer som en vanlig berättelse än en mordgåta. Vi kände inte att det var vi som löste gåtan. Man fick en runda genom Ystad till platser som har anknytning till Wallander - inget mer egentligen. Man fick under turen instruktioner om att att leta efter saker på en bild i telefonen, jämföra foton och handstilar men eftersom man inte kommer vidare i berättelsen förrän man har gjort rätt så är det inte mycket till deckargåta. Till slut blir det ju rätt. Ett sista minus är att man tydligen inte kan avsluta sitt konto på Tripadvisor vilket betyder att du kanske har ett konto som du inte vill ha....Hade hellre sparat pengarna och köpt en god fika och sett en Wallander-film hemma istället.

Kul sätt att uppleva Ystad. Både för förstagångsbesökare och rutinerade skånebesökare. För att få 5-stjärnor skulle vi önska lite fler gåtor i uppdraget. Klart värt ett besök
