September 2026 frontend demo · sample content
One illustrative guest journey
A reason to join in. A story to take away.
See how one of your hostel’s ideas becomes guest participation, recognised progress and a memory to keep. These actual frontend demo moments use sample content.
01 Browse & choose
Your ideas, ready to join.
Invite someone new for coffee, play a board game with at least two others, or discover a local favourite together. A concrete quest gives guests a reason to make the first move.
Explore the quest02 Take part & submit
The idea leaves the screen.
Guests take part in real life, inviting someone nearby or through stay chat. A face-to-face invitation can include non-app guests; registered participants submit a photo and optional journal for their own progress.
See how it works03 Review & progress
Staff review. Guests progress.
Authorised staff review each submission and can approve, request changes or reject it. Approval awards Points for the Point Shop and XP towards ranks—recognition your team controls.
Points, XP & rewards04 Keep & choose to share
A memory tied to your hostel.
After approval, the photo and journal become a memory in the guest’s profile. Public memories can appear in the Feed when sharing is allowed; private and friends-only choices remain distinct.
Open a memory
The quest gives someone a reason to start. The people they meet, the next challenge and a reward to work towards can give them reasons to make another plan—and perhaps stay another night.
A memory has value even when it stays private. Promotional use needs separate permission for each photo. Read the practical answers.
The practical side
A clear role for your team.
Your team sets the scene. Guests choose how to take part.
- 01 / Initial setup
Set it up.
Choose quests, useful information and rewards your team can support. Set conditions and staff roles: who reviews submissions and who hands rewards over.
- 02 / Recurring routine
Keep it running.
Authorised staff review submissions, approve, request changes or reject them; confirm reward redemptions, keep information current and handle community concerns.
- 03 / Questful help
We help you get going.
Quest templates, reward ideas, guest messages, staff training and marketing materials. We can help your team shape a setup that feels like your hostel.

Events support your schedule.
Promote existing activities with schedules, sign-ups and automatic reminders alongside the quests.
Reception questions, kept private.
Private guest-to-staff chat for reception questions and extension enquiries is part of the pilot scope.
Useful around every quest
More ways to feel part of your hostel.
Keep the useful details close and give guests a little common ground. Explore what supports the experience.
Practical responsibilities: rewards, services & photo permission
Agree reviewers and handovers that fit your team. Your hostel chooses, funds and fulfils rewards. Plan real costs, margins, staff time, stock and capacity; discounts and services need clear conditions.
Extension enquiries need reception confirmation. Booking, payments and fulfilment remain with the hostel. Photo audience choices do not grant promotional rights.
Detailed reward, merchandise & bespoke supportAvailability & getting started
These pages describe the confirmed pilot feature scope, not general production availability. In a demo, we’ll show what is ready to try and agree availability, setup and next steps for your hostel. There is no platform fee for the pilot; your hostel covers its own rewards and operating costs. Early hostels help shape the product with feedback.
Guests follow a hostel invitation link or QR code, sign in or create an account, and check in. StayQuest is for adults aged 18 and over.
Staff work & guest choice
Guests can invite someone nearby, make plans in chat or explore independently. Participation is optional; My Stay and hostel information remain useful without a quest.
Your team handles authorised staff review of each photo submission and optional journal entry, keeps information current and confirms rewards. We can help with setup and training.
Reviews & future plans
Checkout reviews are optional and honest, offered equally to every guest. No Points, XP, rank progress, discounts or gifts are awarded, and no particular rating is requested.
Future features. Direct bookings remain a future direction, with commission-free booking as the ambition. See the longer-term plans.
