Bespoke quests, created from your story

Give them a story, not just a surprise.

Share the story behind the celebration—the gifts you have chosen, your plans for the occasion and the details that make them who they are. I will bring it all together in a bespoke digital or hybrid quest, shaped by shared memories and private jokes only the two of you understand.

A collection of gifts becomes a story they get to live.

A gift may be opened in a moment. A quest gives it anticipation, discovery and meaning. A familiar photograph becomes a puzzle. A private joke points to the next destination. A place you both remember unlocks the final reveal. Every chapter belongs to your story; no two quests are the same.

The idea began with a birthday tradition between my husband and me. As "Secret Agents", we sent one another on playful missions to uncover dinner locations, gifts and artefacts needed for the next chapter. I now bring that same sense of anticipation and recognition to celebrations created for the people you love.

01

Tell me about them

In a private consultation, we talk about the person, the occasion, your plans, their interests and the references only you understand.

02

Shape the adventure

I turn those details into a narrative of clues, missions and reveals, then share the creative concept for your approval.

03

Bring it to life

I craft the digital or hybrid experience and provide the materials and guidance you need to set the story in motion.

Before your story begins

A few practical details

Which occasions are suitable?

Birthdays, anniversaries and proposals are natural fits, but any occasion with a meaningful story or surprise at its heart can become a quest.

Can the quest happen anywhere?

Yes. Your quest can unfold at home, across several locations or entirely online. If you already have places in mind, I will build them into the story. If not, I can help shape the route as an additional service.

I don’t have ideas for gifts or locations yet. Can you help?

Yes. If the occasion matters but the plan is still taking shape, I can help develop ideas for gifts, locations and the sequence of surprises. This is quoted separately according to scope; please enquire at least 20 days before the occasion if you would like this support.

Are gifts and reservations included?

No. Gifts, bookings and reservation costs are arranged and paid for by you. I design the story, clues and reveals that connect them. If creative planning is part of your commission, I can also help you decide what those moments could be.

How much setup will I need to do?

It depends on the format. A digital quest can be ready to share with a private link. A hybrid quest may ask you to place printed clues, QR codes or gifts at agreed locations. You will receive clear setup guidance for every step.

Does the recipient need to download anything?

Not for a web-based quest. The recipient opens a private link on their phone and follows the story in their browser. If we agree on a format that requires an app, this will be made clear in the proposal.

How are private stories and photographs handled?

You choose what you are comfortable sharing, and I only ask for material needed to create the quest. Files can be shared through a shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder, or we can agree on another suitable method during the consultation.

How far in advance should I enquire?

Please enquire at least 14 days before the occasion. More complex or multi-location quests—and commissions that include gift or location planning—may require 20 days or more.

What happens after the consultation?

I prepare a creative proposal outlining the narrative, format, chapters, and reveals. Once you approve it, I craft the quest and share the finished experience for your review. You then receive the final link, materials and setup guidance included in your commission.
