THE HANDOFFOne little object.
One little object.
A trail of human moments.
Every handoff is a reason to look up from the screen, talk about kindness, and imagine the people who helped the toy along.
Share carefully
A grown-up adds a broad city and kind note, with an optional personal message or photo. Nothing appears until the maker reviews it.
Pass it person to person
Whenever possible, hand it to another family and share the idea. The human moment comes before the map.
THE LONG WAY AROUND
Its path becomes the keepsake.
Each toy gets one permanent page. It counts caring handoffs and communities—not people, identities, exact routes, or miles.

BUILT FOR GOOD MISCHIEF
Connection with a careful gate.
01The chip only holds a web link. It cannot install software or write to your phone.
02Children never submit. The online handoff explicitly belongs to a parent, caregiver, or responsible adult.
03Personal details stay out. Never share names, contact details, faces, license plates, schools, addresses, exact hiding places, or browser location.
04Every stop is reviewed first. Broad locations, personal messages, and optional photos remain private until the maker approves them.
05Handoff responsibly. Person-to-person is best; never place toys on vehicles, pumps, safety equipment, schools, food, or private property.
THE MAKER BENCH
Have an NFC fidget ready?
Authorized adult creators can take a safe field photo, request one secure code, write and test the NFC tag from their phone, then submit its private origin for review. The batch bench remains available for planned groups.
