Are you ready to step up to the plate and solve a murder? Head out on this Wallander-themed walking tour through Ystad and put your detective skills to the test. Experience this idyllic coastal town in a brand new way while you try to impress your police colleagues!

It is a chilly spring morning in 1988. Detective Chief Inspector Kurt Wallander is having breakfast at Fridolf’s cafe in Ystad when he is alerted by his colleague Martinsson 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 app-based audio walking tour game is based on Henning Mankell's short story "The Death of the Photographer". It helps you trace the footsteps of Mankell’s well-known character Kurt Wallander through Ystad as he is trying to solve the murder of photographer Simon Lamberg. The tour starts at Sankt Knuts square and guides you to locations that are important in the Wallander universe, such as his favorite cafe and the apartment building where he lives. One of Wallander’s colleagues wants to test your police detective skills, and assigns you to help solve the case. Maybe you have a future as a crime investigator ahead of you?

To walk this tour, you will download a separate app to your phone, which requires WiFi. An e-mail with all instructions will be sent to you after the purchase is complete. Please make sure to read through it before you go. You will be guided through the city with both visual and audio aid to ensure that you walk in the right direction. The tour will be yours to keep. You can use it at any time and as many times as you wish. The only thing you need is a smartphone and headphones.

Listen to Wallander’s story in the locations where it takes place, and take part of the investigation through the app. Collect evidence and look for clues in your surroundings to find out who the murderer is!
