Cityspotting® instructions

Hi!

We are glad you are ready to take part in Cityspotting in your city!

On the spots you will see the video, which is related to the place.

Here's how to get English subtitles on the spot video:
Click the video settings (gear icon), select Subtitles, and choose English.

GETTING STARTED

a. Cityspotting works in your browser. You don't need to download a separate application. Recommended browsers are: Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Edge (latest and updated versions).

b. Create a user account on the website app.cityspotting.se and log in.

c. Activate the adventure with an activation code (e.g., "CITY123456").

d. Grant permission for your mobile device and browser to use your location information.

TIP: At this stage, make sure you see yourself as a blue dot on the map in the correct location.

Help with the location settings can be found here if needed.

SPOTS

a. Possible options are visible on the map. The content or task opens only when you are physically present at the location. So, you need to go to that particular place.

There are also a few spots in the adventures that you can open from anywhere; they are immediately visible in orange.

b. Different spots have different icons on the map. The icons serve as a hint, but the same icon does not necessarily mean the same type of content. In addition to the icon, the spot has a description of its theme, such as "Lokalkännedom / Local knowledge."

c. Spots are named with a clue word, such as "Stairway to heaven". The clue word is not intended to reveal too much, but sometimes it can give you an idea of what it's about.

d. Always respond to the question presented at the spot if possible. For example, "I found the place." Remember to also click the "Complete Spot" button to register your visit to the spot.

e. If possible, bring headphones. Often, you will need to listen to something when you arrive at a spot.

MOVING AROUND

a. Avoid using private cars.

b. Prefer biking or walking. If cycling, wear a helmet.

c. The app does not provide detailed directions or exact coordinates. You can use a navigation app if you wish. Cityspotting does not need to be open while you are moving.

ON-SITE

a. Always check the accuracy of the instructions and spot information; situations may vary. For example, a spot might be affected by roadworks, making it inaccessible.

b. Always act lawfully and safely.

c. Inform us if any instructions or locations are inaccurate, or if the information is not up to date or appropriate. Our email is info@cityspotting.se, or you can write a message through the contact form.

d. Also, notify us of any other unexpected events as necessary.

e. In case of an emergency, dial 112.

SOCIAL MEDIA

a. You can communicate with other adventurers or share your experiences in any way you prefer, such as on Facebook or Instagram. Just avoid spoiling the experience for others!

b. We have a Facebook page Cityspotting Sverrige and an Instagram account @cityspotting_sverige, with the tag #cityspotting. Tag us, and we'll be happy to share your experiences.

FINALLY, HAVE FUN

And hey, good luck on your exploration journey!
