- Kauppatori - Begin this self-guided walking tour game at the large obelisk statue in the Kauppatori market square in Helsinki. Open the game app and start the Headless Horseman tour here.
You have arrived at Kauppatori square to meet two acquaintances from an online ghost hunter forum. They have invited you to join an investigation into the 200-year-old disappearance of Ichabod Crane. However, as you wait, only one of your new friends arrives.
- Mariankatu - You and your companion head to the house where Ichabod once lived, searching for clues to his disappearance.
- The Hotel Maria - Following a lead from Ichabod’s journal, you arrive at Hotel Maria. This building once housed officers of the Finnish Army’s sniper battalion and was previously a cholera hospital. Outside the hotel, you examine some of Ichabod’s belongings.
