Open with a moment of agency

Give visitors a decision in the first minute. On a harbor walk, choose the tugboat horns or the old lighthouse keeper’s path. Which opening would hook you? Share your instinct below.

Branching paths without dead ends

Design branches that rejoin, so exploration feels liberating, not punishing. A family in Lisbon skipped ruins for street art, yet still uncovered Roman mosaics later. What detours delight you most?

Emotional anchors over trivia

Facts land deeper when tied to feeling. Let a character’s letter, a song snippet, or a scent cue frame the chapter. Subscribe and tell us which emotional triggers move you.

Technology That Disappears, Magic That Remains

Build mobile-first, device-agnostic tours with graceful fallbacks. If AR fails underground, switch to binaural audio and tactile prompts. How do you roam—headphones, smartwatch, or phone-in-pocket? Tell us your setup.

Technology That Disappears, Magic That Remains

Protect attention and bodies. Reduce latency, cap brightness at dusk, offer one-handed modes, and schedule micro-rests. Have you ever felt tech fatigue on a tour? Comment with your toughest moment.

Guides, Characters, and You

Live improvisation beats scripts

A guide who notices your curiosity can pivot instantly, unlocking a rooftop detour or interviewing a street musician. Tell us about a time a guide made an unplanned moment unforgettable.

AI as co-curator, not ringmaster

Use AI to surface connections, translate graffiti, or personalize pacing—then let humans lead meaning-making. Where should our assistant whisper next: food history, architecture, or hidden nature? Vote with a comment.

Safety, empathy, and accessibility in the moment

If someone looks overwhelmed, slow the tempo and shrink stimuli. Offer quieter paths, captions, and clear exits. How should we signal ‘pause’ without shame? Share symbols or gestures that feel safe.

Play With Purpose

Replace checklists with quests like restoring a lost mural’s story or mapping neighborhood smells. What mission would motivate you to linger longer, listen harder, and talk to locals respectfully?

Play With Purpose

Invite small teams to gather clues across time, sharing findings in a live collage. Would you team up with strangers for a grand reveal? Tell us your ideal group size and vibe.

Accessibility Sparks Creativity

Pair narration with touchable textures, temperature cues, and safe scent prompts. What sensory combination helps you picture a place most vividly? Tell us, and we’ll design inclusive moments around it.

Listening Loops: Measure, Learn, Iterate

Track dwell time at scenes, choice diversity, and return visits, not just taps. Which signal says you’re captivated? Suggest a metric we should watch while keeping privacy front and center.
