  • Radhuspladsen - This self-guided walking tour game starts outside the metro entrance at Rådhuspladsen. In this square, you can see the Copenhagen city hall. Open the StoryTourist app and start the Headless Horseman tour here.

You have come to Rådhuspladsen to meet two people you’ve gotten to know through an online ghost hunter forum. They have invited you to join an investigation of the 200-year-old disappearance of Ichabod Crane. But, as you stand waiting, only one of your new friends show up..

  • Vandkunsten Fountain - You and your companion head over to the house where Ichabod once lived, to see if you can find clues to his disappearance.

Vandkunsten square is named after a water mill built here by King Christian III in the 14th century. It’s also where the main attack on Copenhagen by Swedish troops took place, in 1659

  • Kongens Have - You have met a person who has had a scary encounter with the Headless Horseman. She points you towards Kongens have park. The Kongens have park was built in the early 17th century and surrounds the Rosenborg castle.

You notice some strange sounds outside the park gates that you decide to investigate.

  • Nyboder - Your friend is still missing, but you are desperately trying to find her. A passage of Ichabod’s journal leads to the cozy cobblestone streets of Nyboder, with their colorful little houses.

Your companion discovers a new clue here, that you have to examine closely.

  • St. Paul’s Church - You reach the St. Paul’s church. This seems to be the last location where Ichabod was seen, and traces from your friend leads you here as well. What will you discover outside the church that might clear up both disappearances?
