Why create with Wheelside?

A physical guide can only be in one place with one group at a time. Wheelside lets you turn the routes, stories, knowledge and places you already know into interactive digital adventures that stay available at those locations — so multiple groups can experience them independently and at the same time.

It’s like leaving a virtual ghost of your tour at the location: you do the work of creating the experience once, then your expertise keeps delivering it even when you’re not there to guide in person.

25%

of the payments from your Adventure

Create once and keep earning whenever explorers purchase your published experience. Your share is calculated from completed customer payments attributed to your Adventure, after refunds and chargebacks.

Create the experience once, then it can be sold and experienced repeatedly — several adventures can run at the same time, and seasonal or event adventures can be added without rebuilding your business. No need to physically guide every group: your existing audiences, routes and locations can become new digital products and revenue streams.

QR codes can be one way people access an adventure, but they are not the business model. The model is creating and selling repeatable digital experiences from existing content, routes, stories and places.

Wheelside provides the platform infrastructure so you can focus on the place and the story. Where applicable that includes:

  • Adventure Mode
  • Digital delivery
  • Route & checkpoint functionality
  • Audio delivery
  • Mapping & GPS functionality
  • Customer access
  • Adventure Passport
  • Commercial distribution

Creators bring their local knowledge, route and creative material. Commercial and publication terms are agreed with each creator before an Adventure goes live.

Creators are part of the same Wheelside community as explorers. Every Adventure becomes part of the network, and creator achievements are intended to appear alongside your explorer progress in the Adventure Passport.
