A Cryptic Quests adventure underway on a phone
The short version

What your audience would actually do.

Every quest sparks reactions, discoveries, and story moments that turn into content your audience can’t scroll past.

Cryptic Quests turns the streets, parks, and landmarks around you into a story-driven adventure you solve on foot — part scavenger hunt, part mystery, played from your phone. Every quest is custom-built around a theme and a real location, so it’s different every time. It’s inherently filmable: people react, discover, race, and tag the friends they want to bring next.

Ideas to get you started

A few angles creators love.

You know your audience best — these are just starting points, not a script. Make them yours.

Date night, reinvented

Swap dinner-and-a-movie for a mystery walk through the city — and film the reactions when the story twists.

Can the kids crack it first?

Turn it into a family race to solve the next clue. The “running ahead to find it” moments make themselves.

Hidden gems in your own city

Walk your followers through corners of town they’ve never noticed, wrapped in a story.

“Could you solve clue #4?”

Tease a tricky puzzle and let your audience play along in the comments.

Common questions

A few things you’re probably wondering.

How do commissions work?

You get a personal link and promo code. When someone buys through them, you earn a commission — even if they buy days later. We handle all the tracking.

Do I need a minimum following?

No. We care more about engagement and content quality than follower count. If your audience trusts you, we want to talk.

Which platforms do you support?

All of them — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, blogs, newsletters, and podcasts. Wherever your audience is.

Do I really get free credits?

Yes. We set you up with a quest on us so you can experience it before you post. For the right fit, we’ll set you up with more.

How do I get paid?

We track everything attributed to you and pay out on a regular cycle — no upfront cost, no inventory, nothing to manage. Still have product questions? Check the FAQ.
