What to know before you open the route.

What is a self-guided tour?

A self-guided tour lets visitors explore a place on their own schedule, without a guide. With Goosechase, each stop is a Mission: read the story, answer a question or snap a photo to show you were there.

A passport program rewards people for visiting a set of places, like breweries, shops or event booths. Each completed Mission works like a stamp, and you can reward everyone who collects them all.

Yes. Keep a tour open for a weekend, a month or a whole season so visitors can drop in when it suits them. Release new stops over time to bring people back.
