For city tours & creators

Your city knowledge, now a self-guided hunt groups can play without you.

You know the hidden staircase, the mural nobody stops for, the story behind the statue. Findyst lets you build a photo-and-clue challenge hunt around that knowledge, one that groups can play on their own schedule without you walking beside them.

Sound familiar?

Every local expert runs into the same three walls.

You know your city inside out, but you don't have the technical skills to build a custom app for it.

Build a challenge hunt from a template or from scratch, no code and no app store required.

You can only physically guide one group at a time, which caps how many people can experience your tour in a day.

Build the route once and let as many groups as show up play it independently, at their own pace, without you present.

Static PDF guides and voice-only apps can't support the riddles, sequential clues, and varied challenge types that make a themed tour feel alive.

Mix photo, video, text-answer, and multiple-choice challenges, with optional hints for the trickier clues.

How it works for your route

Build the route
Design the hunt once
Build challenges tied to landmarks, using photo proof or a QR code posted at the spot. Add hints that cost points for the trickier clues, then save it as a reusable template.
Groups explore
They play, you don't have to be there
Each group scans a QR code and plays independently in their phone browser, at their own pace. Auto-graded text-answer challenges confirm they found the right facts on their own.
Between tours
Refine and reuse
Download the photos every group captured along the way. Duplicate the game for your next route, neighborhood, or city.

Questions, answered

Can I sell my tour through Findyst?

Not yet. Findyst is built for creating and running self-guided experiences for your own groups and customers, not a marketplace.

You bring the audience and the story. Findyst handles the challenge-building, QR check-ins, and photo proof that make the tour interactive.

Do I need to be there while a group plays my tour?

No. Groups scan a QR code and play independently in their phone browser, at their own pace.

That's the whole point of self-guided: one route, run for as many groups as show up, without you walking alongside each one.

How do I prove a group actually found the right spot and didn't just wander off?

Require a photo at the landmark, or post a QR code there that unlocks the next clue.

Either method confirms physical presence without needing anyone to check in manually.
