Time Traveler Tours App Recreates Historic Parisian Murder
Time Traveler Tours combines the traditional power of storytelling with the latest in mobile technology to bring history and culture to life on iPhone or iPod touch with murderers, gravediggers and celebrity photographers.
The first Time Traveler Tours StoryApp iTinerary is now fully bilingual. Entitled “Beware Madame la Guillotine, A Revolutionary Tour of Paris,” this iTinerary is an interactive voyage to the French Revolution, told through the eyes of 24-year-old murderess Charlotte Corday in the moments before she is to meet her fate. As Charlotte spins her yarn, explaining why she stabbed radical propagandist Jean-Paul Marat, she takes you on a daylong adventure spanning Paris' right and left banks. Stand-alone maps, directions, even a restaurant recommendation (with discount) aid the quest. Orientation games, scavenger hunts and brainteasers make discovering history effortless and fun. Users can listen to the narration in one language while reading along in another, or disable the text altogether and let Charlotte's story unfold.
Time Traveler Tours is a web-based app developer, founded in 2009 by teacher, writer and inveterate traveler Sarah Towle, focusing on teaching history through story. For more information, call 302-261-2644 or email stowle@timetravelertours.com.
