StoryTourist

StoryTourist is a tourism experience where books, films and other stories come to life, turning the world around us into a playground for the imagination. All over the world there are StoryTourists who read novels instead of travel guides when planning trips; who trace authors'​ and film makers'​ footsteps through foreign cities, and pilgrimage to 221B Baker Street and other temples of fiction. Maybe you are one of us? We have created the StoryTourist app, where books and other stories become treasure hunts in the city, the forest, or wherever the storyline takes us. Imagine solving crimes with Sherlock Holmes in London, stepping into Kafka’s Prague or exploring Transylvania with Dracula. You can read, listen to audio tracks, solve puzzles, play with augmented reality effects, and share your experience on social media. The "StoryTourist: Little Mermaid"​ and "StoryTourist: Sherlock Holmes"​ apps are available for download to iPhones and Android smartphones! The app will use the GPS in your phone to guide you towards the starting point of the tour. There will be playful, interactive elements to make literature and history more accessible and fun! Through the app you will be able to find out what your favorite fictional place looks, tastes, smells and sounds like. Join us, and step into the story with StoryTourist!
