New mobile app lets music lovers and gamers explore Stockholm

Visitors to Stockholm have a new treat coming. Whether you’re in Stockholm for business or pleasure, Stockholm Sounds enhances the experience with a unique, game-based app.  

The Stockholm Sounds app, now released in a beta version for iPhone, shows visitors the way to some of Stockholm’s known and unknown music and sound locations. The app suggests places and experiences based on your location, each offering its own challenge, history, quiz or gaming session.
The app is free of charge and does not require Wi-Fi or data roaming. Visitors arriving at Stockholm Arlanda Airport receive their first assignment directly, but the challenge can be started anywhere in the world. 

If the users succeed in carrying out the assignment, they gain access to unique experiences, events and rewards.

40+ location-based challenges 
Stockholm Sounds incorporates some 40 locations around the city, all connected to music and sound experiences. 

Some of the locations include: 

• What’s the sound of sushi? Discover more at one of Stockholm’s best kept secrets, Akki Sushi, in the trendy Södermalm district
  
• Music quiz at Pet Sounds – the app guides you around Northern Europe’s best-preserved record store
  
• The Stampen Blues Jam – jam with jazz giants including Lucky Thompson, Dizzie Gillespie and Sweden’s own jazz diva Monica Zetterlund, who were all regulars at Stockholm’s cozy Stampen jazz club
  
• Experience Voodoo music at Marie Laveau, Södermalm’s own cajun hang-out
  
• Find out about (and enjoy!) green drinks and sounds in Strindberg’s Red room at Berns entertainment palace
