With the explosion of the mobile internet market, location-based-storytelling is a storytelling method which is based on scavenger hunts, geocaching, using location-based-services. In our session at stART11 conference in Duisburg 2011 we made a storytour through Duisburg Ruhrort, explained afterwards how we did it and what else is possible. This is the english version of our presentation.
