With organisations behind it, this can keep going

Classes and whole grades can play too: students solve it in teams on their phones, with certificates and a teacher dashboard; whole-grade bookings get a local guide on site.

Daily walks, guide training and free community tours are all kept going by paid programmes and organisations that back them. When a company, school or association joins in, training continues, community tours happen and local people keep telling the city's story. Every plan is clearly priced, with an instant quotation and a company invoice.
