Tourself for authors

Write your own quest

Know a neighborhood, a city, a story worth turning into a walking puzzle? Publish it on Tourself and earn from every booking.

What this is

You write it, we publish and sell it. You keep 80% of what each booking brings in (covering your own taxes on that income); we keep 20% for hosting, payments, and getting it in front of travelers.

What you earn

Questions

How much do I actually earn?+

80% of every booking on a quest you wrote, before our 20% platform fee. That 80% is yours before your own local taxes — you're responsible for declaring it as income, same as any freelance work.

How do I get paid?+

Payouts are handled manually for now while we're just getting started — we'll be in direct touch about it. This will move to automatic payouts as the platform grows.

What can I write a quest about?+

Any neighborhood, district, or city you know well enough to turn into a walking puzzle — real locations, real clues, real history or stories. We review every submission before it goes live.

How long does review take?+

We're a small team, so it's a personal review rather than an automated one — usually a few days. We'll tell you directly if anything needs fixing before it can go live.
