For parks, museums and libraries

A QR scavenger hunt that runs itself
All season. No staff.

Visitors scan codes you mount once. No app, no seat limits, no staff on the trail. Each season is a new story on the same posts — print the new sheet and swap the labels.

Free — one trail, 10 players, no card.

  • No app
  • Every visitor plays
  • Same posts, new season
  • Dead codes show up in a week

Same building. New world.

You hang paper codes and change nothing else. The monsters live in the cards a phone opens — not over your shelves — and they are why a family walks the whole floor instead of one aisle.

The dinosaurs are in the story, not in the room.

Who runs these

Parks & trails
A story along the path. The route is the one you already have.
Museums & galleries
Answers hidden in the exhibits, so the trail makes visitors read the plaques.
Libraries
A summer reading trail through the stacks, swapped out each term.
Farms & campgrounds
Something for families to do between the animals and the corn maze.

Three steps to your trail

1

Your AI assistant writes it

Connect Eggtrail to the AI assistant you already use, then describe your rooms and what visitors should notice. The story drafts while you talk and you approve every card. About an hour, and nobody from us on the line.

2

Mount the codes once

Print the kit, slide each card into a vinyl badge holder, and put them up. They stay valid all season, and your pack includes a plan showing where each one goes.

3

Visitors scan and play

Families follow the story from code to code. You watch the day's board and the staff page.

This is a real code — the kind you mount. Point your phone's camera at it and the story library opens in the browser. No app, no account.

When a label falls off, the trail tells you

The staff page lists every code by its last scan. A code that goes quiet shows up within the week — you reprint that card and put it back, instead of walking the route on a hunch.

The staff page: every code, by last scan

Code Last scanned
The Rope Bridge 12 minutes ago
The Kraken 2 hours ago
The Merchant's Stall Yesterday
The Old Oak Post 18 days ago Reprint this one

At the end of the season the report has the rest: teams, finishers, scans, the busiest Saturday, and the codes nobody ever found. That page is what a board report is written from.

A new story every season

A season is one trail. When it ends you write the next one the way you wrote the first — an hour with your AI assistant — a spring trail, a Halloween trail, a reading challenge for the summer programme. You print a fresh sheet of codes and swap the labels on the same posts.

Frequently asked questions

Codes printed on paper and mounted around your site. A visitor points a phone camera at one and a card opens in the browser — a monster to fight, a question to answer, treasure to bank. Then they go and find the next one. The board keeps score.

Both, and you decide which it reads as. A gamified tour walks visitors past the things you want them to notice and scores them for it. A scavenger hunt hides the codes and lets them search. Same engine either way — the difference is where you mount the codes.

No. They point a phone camera at the code and it opens in the browser. There is no account and no email, and nothing at all is collected from a child.

Every visitor, all season. A standing trail has no seat count and never runs out of anything.

About an hour with your AI assistant to write the trail, then however long it takes you to mount the codes. Most venues are running within a week.

Not during the season. A code works for as long as its trail runs. The next season is a new trail with a new sheet to print — the posts stay, the labels change.

Yes. Every card is printed at 4 x 3 inches to slide straight into a vinyl badge holder — the clear kind you zip-tie to a post or hang on a lanyard. The holder keeps the rain off, so a code on an open path lasts the season like one indoors.

Starting is free — one trail, ten players, no card — and that trail runs any story in the library. A season for the whole organization goes on a card here, around $500 for most places. Goosechase and Actionbound charge by the player; this is one price for every visitor you get.

Phone signal where the codes are, and nothing else. The card opens over the network, so a basement corner with no bars is a code that scans and then spins — mount that one where the signal reaches.

No. You sign up, connect your AI assistant, write the trail and pay by card without speaking to anybody. Write to us if you want an invoice or have a question, and you get an email back.

Yes. Trails run in English or Spanish, and the story is written in the language you choose.
