STQRY has acquired Amsterdam-based LiveTours, expanding its presence across Europe’s cultural and tourism sectors.

STQRY, a platform that helps organizations create and manage interactive visitor experiences, today announced the acquisition of LiveTours, a Netherlands-based developer of live-audio guided tour technology. The acquisition includes LiveTours’ technology, codebase, and intellectual property.

The first month of the year sets the stage for exploration, and January’s Apps Gone Live introduces experiences that do just that. Read on for the latest STQRY-powered launches from destinations across the globe. Through self-guided tours, immersive storytelling, and interactive features, each app offers a fresh perspective on place. It’s an inspiring start to another year of innovation in digital interpretation.

From touring archive exhibitions to permanent cathedral installations, digital interpretation must adapt to context without losing clarity.

The way people discover experiences is quietly but fundamentally changing.

Increasingly, discovery happens in place — on a phone, in the moment, guided by proximity and curiosity rather than pre-planning. Mobile has become the connective tissue between people and place.
