From printed map to living experience

The brochure gets you there. We make people stay.

A printed map lists a title and an artist next to number 7. On a phone, number 7 lights up as you walk up. The artist reads their statement in their own voice, a short video shows how it was made, and you vote for your favorite before moving on.

When a piece moves or a stage time changes, it's fixed in minutes. No reprinting.

  • Numbered stops that match your signs and printed map
  • Pictures, video, audio with transcripts, questions and links
  • On-site QR codes at every stop, so it works even where GPS doesn't
  • Rewards from local businesses at the finish

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Visitors scan a QR code on a sign, a poster or the big welcome screen at the entrance. They pick a nickname and make a cute character. That's it.

  2. 02

    Wander

    The map shows where to go next. Stops open as people arrive: stories, music, questions, things to collect. Families start a group and see each other on the map.

  3. 03

    Remember

    Finishers earn your reward and get a thank-you email with your offer. You get the numbers: who came, what they loved, and when.

Built for big days

Everything an unforgettable event needs.

Done for you, yours to edit

We produce the whole experience with your content, then hand you a simple studio to change anything: drag a pin, swap a photo, update a time. Your brand, front and center.

Families play together

One person starts a group, everyone else scans their invite. Characters on the map, group chat, and a team mode where one find counts for all.

Indoors and out

Floors and your own floor plans for museums, libraries and campuses. Streets and parks for everything else.

A welcome screen

A full-screen "scan to play" page for a TV or tablet at the entrance, with your logo and a giant QR code.

Rewards people want

Coupons, prizes and finisher offers from you or your sponsors, with limits you control.

Privacy first

No location history is ever stored. Kids under 13 play with a nickname only. Emails only with permission, with one-click unsubscribe.

Results you can show

Numbers you can bring to the council meeting.

Printed maps can't tell you how many people came, which piece they loved, or how long they stayed. We can. Every experience comes with a report you can share with your board, your council or your sponsors.

Proven in our own game

We built ZombieShoe first.

Our location-based zombie game taught us what makes people walk farther, stay longer and come back: great stories, real rewards and playing together. Every Wandering Systems experience is built on those lessons. ZombieShoe launches March 20, 2027.
