HistARy overlays past scenes on present streets so the city’s stories appear on your device, letting the Gothic Quarter’s history feel immediate and visual rather than just verbal.

THE TONE

Comedy‑led storytelling

Recorded audio narration leavens historical detail with jokes and funny anecdotes, reframing each stop as both an informative moment and a comedic vignette.

THE GAME

Interactive quiz to compete with friends

Alongside the audio explanations, the app includes a question game so groups can test what they’ve learned and compare scores as they move between stops.
