Questions about this template

Can I put in our real flight time and destination?
Yes, that is the point. Change the departure time, the city and the number of nights to match your real trip, and rewrite the clues to fit. You can still edit the lock after sending the link.
How do I give it as a present?
Send the link in a message, or print the QR code on a fake boarding pass, a card or a luggage tag. They scan it, play on their phone and the trip is revealed at the end.
What if they cannot guess the city?
Each clue has an optional hint that nearly gives the answer, and you write your own wrong-answer messages. Nobody stays stuck outside their own holiday.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone. Publishing it with its paid options needs an Event Pass or Pro; remove them at Publish and it goes live on the free plan, for good.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and reward opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 10 minutes, from the first lock to the reward.
