Turn your place into a game
Let's Tingo helps zoos, museums, festivals, towns and venues of every size give their guests something to do, something to find and something to remember. We build a custom board for your space, with your name on it, and your guests play it as they go.
Each guest gets their own board from the same list of finds, and the first to fill five in a row calls a Tingo. People slow down, look closer, and find the parts of your place they'd usually walk straight past.
How a partnership works
It starts with a short conversation about your place: what makes it special, who comes through the door, and what you most want them to notice, whether that's the rare frog at the back of the reptile house or the donor wall nobody stops at.
From there we write the board with you, from your knowledge of the place and ours of what makes a good find. It carries your name, your colors and your logo, in a tone that fits your crowd. New boards are there whenever you need them, for a new season or a new event, and you can build your own in the app as well.
Your guests join from a QR code on a sign, a map, a program or a badge. They get their board in a tap, in the app or in a browser, and joining is free for them.

A prize at the end
For a venue or an event, turn the board into a sponsored game and it ends in a prize drawing. Guests who hit the Tingo target before the game ends are entered, they can see how many people are playing and how many have qualified, and one winner is drawn when time runs out. Guests never pay to play a sponsored game, and a membership, a tour or a voucher gives the whole crowd something to work toward.
Fundraisers people get to play
For a cause, Let's Tingo can be the fundraiser itself. Supporters pay to play a themed game, and 100% of the proceeds go to your cause. The prize goes to whoever has the most Tingos when the game ends.

Built with you, not handed to you
We're a small team, and we treat every partnership like a real collaboration. That means finds written from your knowledge and ours, your branding front and center, a QR code or short link your guests can join in a tap, and a game that runs live, so families compete, friends call out across the room and strangers compare notes at the same exhibit.
If you're planning something for your own family or friends rather than a venue, there are plenty of scavenger hunt ideas for that too.
