The short version: QR Clue is two things (we like to call it win-win): first, it’s an immersive experience guests can only have inside an Airbnb (or bed and breakfast), STR (short term rental), or VRBO (vacation rental by owner) that they’ve booked for a vacation, business trip, personal travel, etc.

It’s a puzzle experience (kind of like an escape room minus the time limits and stress) that takes them throughout the property finding clues and ultimately, solving a mystery and receiving a memorable take-home prize.

QR codes (lovingly referred to as QR Clues) are hidden on items that blend into the decor of any vacation rental and are placed in specific locations throughout the property. The guest is provided the first QR Clue, which they scan with their cell phone, and are introduced to how the experience works, the rules and the storyline. From there, they are provided with a puzzle to solve in order to find where the next QR Clue is hidden. The experience continues until they’ve found all 11 QR Clues and opened a peculiar device found mid-game that contains the story’s finale and their take-home prize.

Absolutely everything you need to provide a totally unique guest experience is included in your custom experience kit…right down to the pen and notepad guests will need to solve some of the puzzles!

Understand that every single detail about QR Clue was meticulously designed with STR hosts in mind. It was designed to be extremely simple to set up (taking only 3 minutes) but provide a really fun and complex experience for guests.

We want to add value to your business by creating an awesome experience for your guests.

There are many ways QR Clue can pay for itself (and then some), including:

1. Guest data. Hosts receive guest names and emails, in real-time, as their guests are playing. Use this to send thank yous, offer exclusive deals and direct booking.

2. More bookings. We have data that shows guests will choose a property they normally wouldn’t because it has the QR Clue experience over a property that doesn’t have it. This results in bookings hosts wouldn’t have secured otherwise; therefore, having the experience as an option can result in getting bookings you wouldn’t normally get because guests want to try out the experience.

3. More reviews. The experience itself encourages guests to leave a review when they otherwise might not. This is priceless because reviews help boost rankings & listing visibility (especially important for new hosts) which helps attract more guests and improves the listing’s position on the Airbnb platform via the algorithm.

4. Stand out. When advertised on your listing properly, this experience is designed to make your property stand out from your competition because you’re offering something new and exciting in the STR industry.

Competition drives prices down. Offer something NEW and desirable that no one else is and now you can better control the price.

5. BONUS: QR Clue is a service you’re providing your guests and therefore can qualify as a tax write off, which is a huge bonus! Of course, consult with your tax professional.

With all that considered, what is it truly worth?

Ultimately, hosts that leverage QR Clue properly can experience so many different benefits. This is for the true entrepreneurial spirit: thinking outside the box to be different and offer something new to guests!

The proprietary system behind QR Clue is patent pending, meaning we've gone through great lengths to legally protect the experience our hosts are able to offer. This allows us to ensure that our innovative experience can’t be replicated, or imitated, by others. This designation provides hosts with the assurance that they are offering a truly one-of-a-kind experience, helping their property stand out in a crowded market. By partnering with a patent pending product, hosts can offer something exclusive that enhances guest satisfaction and boosts their reputation.
