The challenge.
These figures come from independent lodging data, which includes B&Bs and inns. OTAs bring most bookings, cancel more often and rarely bring guests back.
Cancellations
2x
OTA bookings cancel at 21.8% vs 10.6% for direct bookings.
Cloudbeds via Asian HospitalityWho comes back
3x
Guests who book direct return about 3x as often as platform guests.

Questions owners ask.
What does it cost?
Pay as you go costs $1 per player. Monthly plans start at $29.99 for 50 players. Groups and chains can talk to us about Make it your own.
We are a team of two. Will this add work?
No. Quests prove themselves with a scan, tap or photo. You set them up once in about 15 minutes.
Can I use my own local tips?
Yes. Customize the hidden gems trail with your favorite spots and a one-line tip for each.
What guest data do we get?
Guests enter their email to play and choose whether to hear from you. You get the opt-ins, quest activity and redemptions. We never sell guest data.
Does this break OTA rules?
The game is optional and never a review request or survey. Follow each platform's rules for offers to its guests. We are not a law firm.
What if nobody plays?
You see plays in your dashboard from day one. If uptake is low, move your codes to busier spots or raise the first reward. With self-serve, no players means no cost.
