How RÆDEL worksFrom first scan
From first scan
to final reveal.
RÆDEL turns the real venue into an interactive digital trail and story led adventure. Visitors begin in their browser, move through the place around them, solve challenges and uncover the story as they go.
The visitor journeySimple to start.
Simple to start.
Designed to unfold.
The phone moves the story forward, but the next answer is often waiting in the real place around the visitor.
Explore
Go somewhere real
The story points towards the next location, encouraging visitors to move through the venue rather than stay fixed to a screen.
Notice
Look at what is actually there
A sign, artefact, animal, room, view or tiny architectural detail can hold the answer. The venue becomes part of the mechanics.
Solve
Earn the next step
Observation, questions, ordering, logic, collections and interactive challenges give each stop a reason to matter.
Reveal
Let the story build
New characters, clues and discoveries unlock as the visitor progresses, so the narrative unfolds because of what they have done.
Finale
Give the journey a destination
A final puzzle, timed challenge, reveal or reward brings earlier discoveries together and gives the adventure a satisfying finish.

RÆDEL works best when the two halves support each other. The screen gives the visitor a reason to look up.

Story prompt
Find the missing signal
“Find the room where the signal disappeared.”
Move through the site
Go somewhere real
Reach the actual room, path or enclosure and continue the story there.
02
Observation question
Look for the answer
“Which symbol appears above the doorway?”
Look closely
Notice the real detail
Inspect the architecture, object, animal or interpretation that is physically in front of you.
03
Puzzle or choice
Use what you found
Bring together the evidence and observations collected along the route.
Story progression
Make the visit matter
The next story beat is earned because the visitor explored and discovered something for themselves.

Make an experience respond to where the visitor is within a larger site.
Compass
Turn direction and bearing into a discovery mechanic for outdoor adventures.
Motion
Use movement or orientation as part of a device aware interaction.
Touch
Drag, rotate, align, collect and manipulate puzzle elements directly on screen.

Play your wayOne visitor
One visitor
or a whole team.
The structure can suit a quiet individual trail, a family sharing one device, or a group playing together.
Solo
One player. One route. One ending to reach.
A visitor controls their own progress and moves through the adventure at their own pace.
- Ideal for self guided trails and individual discovery
- Progress belongs to one visitor or one shared family device
- Simple, focused and easy to begin
Team
Join together. Share progress. Finish together.
Groups can join a shared experience, solve together and work towards the same finale.
- Supports groups, school parties and shared family play
- Players work towards one shared outcome
- Great where discussion and teamwork are part of the fun
