Partner Program

Bring Cryptic Quests to your people.

Two ways to partner with us. Recommend us to your audience and earn a share of every credit they buy — or sell credits in bulk to your community at wholesale rates and keep the margin. Either way, you’re putting story-driven outdoor adventures into the hands of people who’d love them.

Two tracks

Pick the path that fits.

We work with two kinds of partners, with very different shapes. Both share a lead-capture form below — we’ll figure out which fits best when we reply.

By invitation

Affiliate Program

For creators with engaged audiences — newsletters, podcasts, niche YouTube channels, travel blogs. Share your unique link, earn a commission on every quest credit your audience buys within your attribution window.

  • Personal link — share anywhere, attribution lasts the full window
  • Commission on every credit purchase your link drives
  • 30-day cookie window by default
  • Promo codes branded to you for your audience to use at checkout
Best for Creators with a focused audience that overlaps with travel, mystery, family adventure, or outdoor exploration. We’re selective — we’d rather have a small number of well-matched partners than a long tail of mismatched ones.
For organizations

Reseller Program

For organizations selling Cryptic Quests credits to their own community on an ongoing basis — tour operators, retreat centers, libraries, gift shops. You buy credits in bulk at a wholesale rate and resell them at retail.

  • Wholesale pricing on bulk credit purchases
  • Branded gift-code voucher PDFs you can hand out, mail, or print
  • Postpaid invoicing on redemptions — for ongoing reseller relationships
  • Direct support to help you launch and promote your program
Best for Organizations selling credits as an ongoing offering — retreats, tourist hubs, gift programs, classroom rewards. Running a one-time fundraiser instead? We have a dedicated fundraiser program with a different billing model designed for defined-window campaigns.
How affiliate attribution works

Three simple steps.

1

Share your link or code

Drop your link in your newsletter, on social, or hand out promo codes from a printed voucher.

2

Your audience plays

Anyone who clicks gets a quiet cookie tied to you. They can buy now, tomorrow, or anytime within your attribution window.

3

You get credited

Every credit they buy in that window credits you. Commission settles on a postpaid cycle — we report what you earned and pay it.

🌍

A real product, growing fast

AI-generated location-based quests is a brand-new category. Your audience hasn’t seen this anywhere else.

💰

Real per-quest revenue

Not pennies-per-impression display ad money. Real product purchases with margin you can build into your model.

🔨

Painless tooling

Tracked links, branded promo codes, voucher PDFs, postpaid invoicing. Nothing for you to build or manage.

Common questions

A few things you’re probably wondering.

How do I get paid as an affiliate?

Postpaid. We track everything attributed to you, and on a regular cycle we send you a statement and a payout. No upfront commitments, no inventory risk on your side.

How long does the cookie last?

30 days by default. The browser owns the expiry, so even if a buyer takes weeks to convert, you still get credit if they’re inside your window.

Can I do both programs?

Yes — and many partners do. A nonprofit can run a fundraiser with bulk gift codes (Reseller) AND share a referral link in their newsletter (Affiliate). Tell us about both on the form below.

What if my audience doesn’t buy right away?

That’s the whole point of the cookie. Someone who clicks your link today and buys two weeks from now still credits you, as long as they’re inside the attribution window. No racing-to-checkout pressure.

What does the application process look like?

Submit the form below. We’ll reply within 2–3 business days with next steps — usually a short conversation to make sure we’re a good fit and to set you up with your link, codes, or wholesale account. Have product questions first? Check the FAQ.
