The Stockholm Sounds project has been initiated by the Stockholm Visitors Board in mid 2013. Stockholm Sounds is a mobile app that serves as a niche visitor guide.

‍

‍

The app is centred around the theme of music, and is aimed at introducing both famous and rather unknown insider spots within the city. All points of interest that are featured within the app, have in common that they are connected to sound in general and music in Sweden in particular.

‍

Gamified elements are central to the app, as it does not only offer traditional travel guide functionalities, but the app is set out to create a technology enhanced immersive destination experience for visitors to the city. This includes challenges, quizzes and riddles, which are connected to the city and historic events that have taken place in specific places of the city. In order to make the application available to international tourists, the app is fully functional in offline mode.
