Turn short-term stays into a gaming experience.
More fun for guests, zero extra cost. TIDY’s AI weaves hunts, puzzles, and challenges into your property — it drops hints in the guest chat, verifies the win, and pops open The Box for a real prize.
How a stay becomes a game
01 · The Invitation
Mid-stay, a message appears in the guest thread: “This property has a secret. Want to play?”
02 · The Search
Clues are woven into the property itself. Guests hunt, decode, and explore.
03 · The Hints
Stuck? TIDY’s AI nudges over the same chat thread — and if a clue’s truly lost, it just hands over the code. The game never stalls.
04 · The Verification
TIDY’s AI checks the answer and calls the win.
05 · The Reward
The Box clicks open. A real prize, stocked by you. A digital badge lands in their inbox.
Playing is always optional. Guests who skip it just have a great stay. Guests who play have a story.

And it’s included with TIDY. No extra software cost — you just stock the prizes.

Pick your mystery
Six ways to hide something worth finding — and every game ends the same way: The Box clicks open.
The Hunt
Short codes on cards, tucked in plain sight around the property. Solve each riddle, find the spot, enter the code — every one leads to the next.
Sample clue
“I hold the morning’s first cup but never take a sip. Look under me.”
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
The Cipher
Riddles and codes built from the property’s own details. Crack the final code and The Box clicks open.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
The Local Legend
Challenges that send guests to the best spots in your neighborhood — the coffee shop, the overlook, the mural. The answers are only out there.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
House Trivia
Quiz rounds over the chat thread — the house, the town, the strange history in between. Play it over dinner or across the whole stay.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
The Heist
An escape-room-style run against the clock. One evening, one crew, one Box to crack.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
Kids’ Quest
A gentler hunt built for families — picture clues, easy riddles, and a prize sized for small hands.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
Something Else Entirely
Have something weirder in mind? Tell TIDY what you’re imagining and the AI builds a custom game around your property.
Reward: Box prize + digital badge
Every game is generated for yourproperty — its rooms, its quirks, its neighborhood — from the digital twin TIDY already maintains.
The Box · Matte black or bamboo
The prize is real.
Finishing a game always earns a digital badge — proof they beat your property, sent straight to their inbox. But with The Box at the property, the win gets physical: the moment TIDY’s AI verifies the final answer, the lock clicks open on a real prize you stocked. Local chocolate, a bottle from the vineyard down the road, a gift card to the taco place — your call.
Games work without The Box. Guests still get the digital reward. Add The Box for the physical payoff — it connects through the TIDY WiFi + Noise Sensor.
Fun for them. Strategy for you.
01
The story guests tell
“We cracked the code and the box just… opened” is a better story than “the towels were fine.” A stay guests talk about is the raw material of a great review — give them something to talk about.
02
Stand out in a sea of identical listings
Every listing has the same hot tub photos. “This stay is a game you can win” is an experience competitors can’t screenshot.
03
Capture direct bookings
Pairs with the WiFi + Noise Sensor: guests connect, you keep their contact info, and the people who beat your house remember it. Give finishers a reason to book direct next time.
04
Zero extra workload
The game runs on the guest-messaging automation TIDY already does for you. You approve it once and stock the prize. That’s the whole job.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests have to play?
No — playing is always opt-in. TIDY’s AI extends the invitation in the guest chat thread. Guests who skip it just have a great stay. Guests who play have a story.
Who sets up the game? What hardware do I need?
TIDY’s AI designs a game around your property using the digital twin TIDY already maintains, and you approve it. Setup is minimal — no locks, keys, or props to buy. TIDY generates a few printable code cards, and you or your cleaner place them once at turnover from a simple layout. The Box is the only piece of hardware.
Who provides the prizes?
You do. Stock The Box with whatever fits your property — local treats, gift cards, a bottle from the vineyard down the road. You choose the prize; TIDY’s AI only controls when it unlocks, on the rules you set.
Do I need The Box?
No. Every finished game earns a digital badge, with or without hardware. The Box adds the physical payoff — TIDY’s AI pops it open the moment the game is won. The Box connects through the TIDY WiFi + Noise Sensor.
How do guests get hints?
In the same guest chat thread TIDY already manages. No app to download, no host to bother — guests just ask, and TIDY’s AI answers with a nudge sized to keep the game fun.
What if a guest gets stuck or can’t find a clue?
The game never gets stuck. Hints escalate, and if a guest can’t find a clue, TIDY’s AI can reveal the code or open The Box remotely over chat — the clues are just paper, so nothing is lost for good. You set the rules and can override any decision TIDY makes.
Is it family-friendly?
Games are configurable to your guests. Kids’ Quest is designed for families — picture clues, gentler riddles, and prizes sized for small hands. Every mode can be tuned to the guests you host.
What does it cost?
Games are included with TIDY — no extra software cost. You just stock the prizes. The Box itself is $79/yr, with full warranty and replacements included.

More fun for guests, zero extra cost — TIDY’s AI sets it up, runs it, and rewards it, on rules you control.
