The story ends at your door.

Lore turns a city into a story people walk through, one puzzle at a time. The last clue sends them to you: hungry, happy and holding a reward you chose. You only give the reward when they walk in, and every visit is counted.

How it works

Players arrive already wanting to stay.

Every quest is written around real streets in one district. You become a chapter of the story, so guests don't just pass by: the plot sends them through your door.

i.

You apply

Tell us about your venue, the times you'd like guests and the reward you'd offer. We visit, agree the details and write you into a quest.

ii.

The story sends them

Couples, friends and teams solve the last puzzle and get a code for your reward. The map walks them to you, and they can book a table from the app.

iii.

Staff check the code

Your team types the code into this portal on any phone or till tablet. One tap marks it used. You see every visit, every week.

Choose your place in the night

Dinner

Players finish the story at your restaurant, or pause halfway for dinner and carry on after.

Restaurants

Nightcap

The story ends with a last drink at your bar, after dinner or after a show.

Bars, wine bars, dessert spots

After the show

Your audience leaves your theatre, gig or comedy night and plays on into the city.

Theatres, music venues, comedy clubs

Group races

Up to six teams race the same story and meet at the same table. Ideal for birthdays and work socials.

Larger tables, earlier in the week
What you get

New guests, counted.

Not another listing in an app. A small number of partners per district, each one written into the story.

Guests sent to you

The final puzzle leads to your door. Players book a table or walk in with a reason to stay.

You set the reward

A dessert, a drink on arrival, small chops to share. Change it any time from this portal.

Every visit measured

Rewards issued, rewards redeemed and your best nights, in one dashboard you can export.

Fill quiet nights

Tell us when you want guests. Quests and group races can be pointed at early-week evenings.

Exclusive in your story

One restaurant and one late venue per quest. Nobody else gets your chapter.

No hardware

Nothing to install. Staff use the portal on any phone. No commission on the bill.
