The odinian wanderer

What is the Odinian Wanderer?

Extremely thorough, yet easy to read, the Odinian Wanderer is a magazine for anyone who loves Vikings, travel, or the medieval world. The articles found within tell the travels, trials, and triumph of the Vikings, focusing on sights that you, the reader, can go see. Covering a variety of locations in both time and space, we guarantee that there is an article just for you. Just like the figure our magazine was named after, we are in a constant search for knowledge. From sailing with Swedes, to visiting the Vinlandians, we love it all. The real question is: Where do you want to go?

Who are the Wanderers?

The Odinian Wanderer houses a number of talented, young writers who live, breath, and dream about Vikings and their travels. You will not find a more agog staff who wants to share their experiences with the Vikings.

The Vikings – The Treasure Quiz (App)

An App by gebrueder beetz filmproduktion
In Collaboration with the Museum of Prehistory and Early History Berlin

“Hey, you, Viking! Your village was plundered last night, and all its treasure taken! Embark on a quest to find 18 precious objects and restore honour to your village! But first you have to show what you know about the vikings.”

The Viking app takes the user on an exciting journey into the Viking’s culture. The app is an interactive quiz for mobile devices that guides the user through the exhibition "The Vikings“. By answering questions he gets to know the highlights of the exhibition in a playful way. The app is not only an experience inside the museum but can also be played at home.

Key to the app is the treasure that has been stolen from the user’s village. It includes the most outstanding objects of the exhibition: Golden cloak pins, iceskating blades made of bone, magnificent swords, glass beads, mysterious runes and much more. The user needs to find and collect the objects. But first he needs to answer questions about the objects and Viking culture. To find hints he is asked to go to the corresponding room in the exhibition. Whenever he gets a question right, he regains an object. The goal is to find all the treasure objects and restore honour to his village. The app motivates viking-fans to wander through the exhibition and experience it in a new way while playing. Additionally, the user can share his high-score with his friends and win his own Viking treasure by entering a sweepstake.

The app also links to our two-part drama documentary “Viking Women” and to the online Serious Game “ISUNGUR – Save your Viking Village”.
