- Kendra H., Charlotte, NC
We had a slow 2023 with lots more properties coming on the market and were looking at several other amenities to increase the desirability of our property. Riddle Retreat was one of the least expensive, doesn’t take up any space, and the ROI has been measurable.
- Ryan and Chelsey, Burlington, VT
Guests mention it in the reviews more than anything else. What a clever idea.
- Mike and Sara, Dallas, TX
Very clever execution. I was skeptical that it would work in any home but guests love it and we haven’t had to do anything more than fill the toybox at the turn.
- Josh B., Grand Rapids, MI.
As a parent, I see why it’s a hit. Keeps the kids entertained and doesn’t require standing in any lines. Great product.
- Mark C., Vero Beach, FL.
People who stay in VRBOs are always on the lookout for something fun and different, this checks those boxes and the fact it’s free for them makes it a game changer, especially in the bad weather months.

What is the game flow like?Riddle Retreat Airbnb Games are made by hosts, for hosts to offer a fun immersive experience for families and comes in 2 versions. Riddle Retreat QR is the lean and mean version of the game, consisting of a 12 step adventure hunt throughout your home with Riddles displayed via QR codes. The original Riddle Retreat consists of 16 steps, progressing players through a series of riddles and physical games (Ring Darts, Lenticular Photo Riddles, and much more!). Both game takes most groups around about an hour and can be stopped and started, as needed. But the memories last forever!
-
What maintenance or turnover tasks does it require?Very minimal. Riddle Retreat was designed by hosts for hosts, to be headache free. No late night calls about missing or broken pieces. Resetting the game between guests only requires refilling the final lock box with prizes (prize packs available or you can use your own/candy) and (optionally) setting out the Superhero costumes for the kids (or adults, who are we kidding)
-
How much do the “supplies” cost?As little as a few dollars a turn, or more if you operate a luxury property and want to delight your guests even more, it’s up to you! You can buy your own candy / bulk small toys to use (recommendations and links here), or we sell pre-packaged turnover kits that range from $3/turn to $15/turn.
-
But every home is different, how will this work in my home?Riddle Retreats are all designed to work seamlessly in all kinds of properties. As long as you have all the expected household items like bedrooms, closets, refrigerators, and tables, Riddle Retreat will fit right in!
-
How long does it take to install the game?Riddle Retreat QR only takes about 10 minutes to install. Riddle Retreat Original takes less than an hour but most hosts have it up and running in 30-45 minutes. The only skill you need is the ability to hang a picture (and in this case, a ring toss game and ring on a string game). After the initial setup, both games only requires refiling of the prize box with candy or inexpensive kids toys
-
What is the game like, will guests actually enjoy it?Kids and parents LOVE Riddle Retreat Superhero Academy. Riddle Retreat QR includes superhero themed Riddles and missions and Riddle Retreat Original, of course includes Riddles, but also, lenticular photos, codes that only appear under UV light, physical games, hidden safes, and more. The best part is, it keeps the kids busy and entertained for FREE.
