Solve a case with Sherlock Holmes

StoryTourist is an award-winning app that combines great audio storytelling with patent-pending navigation technology and gamification. The result is a brand new, self-guided experience where history and fiction come to life in the world around you. Their teams create amazing experiences based on books, films and historical events. A StoryTour is an accessible, fun and affordable way for locals and tourists to discover the world around them. StoryTourist’s mission is to combine reality and history to create an immersive experience unlike any other.

This example is a self-guided audio tour in London based on a Sherlock Holmes adventure. This StoryTour, based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle”, takes you from Hyde Park’s Brook Gate to the Sherlock Holmes statue and museum in iconic Baker Street. On the way to Baker Street, players use their deduction skills and feel the pulse of London. To take this tour, you will need to download the user-friendly StoryTourist app. It’s equipped with a map, GPS and a digital guide to make sure they are going in the right direction. The tour stops at famous landmarks where clues are hidden in the players’ neighbourhood to lead them closer to the culprit.

Why is it regenerative?

StoryTourist demonstrates innovation in the fusion of audio storytelling, technology and gamification to offer self-guided, immersive experiences that combine fiction and reality.

Project partners met in Aveiro on the 14th and 15th of September 2023. It was the perfect opportunity to visit the destination with regenerative glasses on, to understand its many assets but also some of the challenges the destination is facing. Face to face project meetings always provide the partners with the unique opportunity to learn about the work of the hosting partner and get valuable insights about the destination. In this case partners were hosted by the dedicated team of management and tourism professionals of the University of Aveiro who shared a wealth of insights about a city that was new to many of the participants.

The Enforce project is well on track when it comes to the project work plan, which means that after having completed the Best Practice collection of innovative examples about storytelling for regeneration and also the Storyteller’s Guide, partners used the meeting to discuss the development of the Enforce Training Programme.

For the next few months partners will be working on developing the content in line with guidelines provided by the University of Usak, our project partner from Turkey.
The course should be available for piloting in January/February 2024 and will also be available in the partner languages once all translations are finalised.

The ENFORCE team met in the beautiful city of Luxembourg for its kick-off meeting. It took place at the premises of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg (also known as CCIL), which opened its doors to warmly welcome all partners.

The team was aware of the importance of this first meeting and approached it with the same enthusiasm, as it plays an important role in building strong bonds that will contribute to the success of the entire cooperation. With the common goal of building a solid foundation, the participants discussed in depth the first steps required for the project ENFORCE.

During this visit, the project objectives were discussed in depth to ensure that each partner has a comprehensive understanding of the overarching goals. The outcome of the kick-off meeting was extremely satisfying for all partners and generated enthusiasm among the team. It was a success and left everyone inspired and energised.

The journey of ENFORCE has officially begun and with the collective expertise of the committed partners, there is no doubt that it will thrive and achieve remarkable results.
