Naratour is a visitor guide application that allows its users to independently explore cultural places like museums and galleries with interactive stories and audio guides. Visitors use smartphones to pick stories in which they play a lead role. During the interactive tour, visitors follow points of interest, find clues, and solve a range of challenges until the story is concluded. Challenges take the form of puzzles and riddles. They can only be solved by visual or physical interaction with exhibits, and they unlock interesting educational facts. Casual visitors can still use their smartphones to access an immersive audio guide.
