NEW YORK, August 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Interactive Scavenger Hunt Will Apply Strayboots' Mobile Gaming Expertise to Attract
Domestic and International Tourists and Companies Worldwide

    Strayboots, the leading global provider of mobile team building scavenger hunts,
announced today its partnership with Destination Jonkoping AB to bring the first public
scavenger hunt to Sweden. The partnership will begin with an interactive tour of the city
of Granna, with plans for more cities to follow.

    The partnership with Destination Jonkoping is part of a larger regional initiative to
increase awareness of the area among domestic and international tourists and companies.
The scavenger hunt will offer visitors an interactive tour of Granna that they will be
able to access on their smartphones free of charge though a dedicated URL and additional
information provided at Tourism Offices throughout the city. Granna is situated in
Jonkoping Municipality, Sweden with 2,553 inhabitants in 2010. As the fourth largest
municipality in Sweden, Jonkoping is a popular destination among both domestic and foreign
travelers, averaging $3.8 billion in tourism sales and 1.4 million day visits in 2015.

    "We are excited about working with Strayboots to help visitors have fun discovering
all that Jonkoping has to offer by creating the best mobile experiences to showcase Granna,
" said Patrik Olderius, CEO of Destination Jonkoping AB. "Swedes are among the most
mobile-savvy people in the EU so working with Strayboots to create something truly
innovative was a natural fit for us."

    According to figures provided by Destination Jonkoping AB, 77% Swedes have a
smartphone, with 76% using it to access the Internet and 57% navigating using a mobile
GPS. Added Mr. Olderius, "People expect two things when it comes to using their smartphone
for information: to be educated and to be entertained. As a partner, Strayboots has a
unique understanding of how to do both."

incorporating the latest advances in mobile technology. Strayboots' scavenger hunts are
deployed in more than 50 major cities throughout the USA and used for team building by
