Growth Proposal

TTT Travel Tournament

The product is built. The game system works. Here's how we bring it to life in every city in the world.

From Nic + Spiff to Tom, Richard & Weitse · July 2026

The Vision

Travel like a local. Compete like a tourist.

TTT has always been about more than tuk tuks. It's about taking the local form of travel and turning it into a tournament. Tuk tuks in Sri Lanka. Auto-rickshaws in India. Horses in Mongolia. Utes in Australia.

Travel Tournament extends that vision to every city in the world. Same game system - zones, monsters, challenges, real-time leaderboard - compressed into a single day. Explore by bike, on foot, or by public transport. Whatever fits the city.

    The reason this hasn't come to life yet in all these markets and formats is having the right people with the time, expertise and passion to make it happen. That's what we're offering.
  

We've built the product. We've designed the game system. We've mapped 5 European cities. We're ready to be your growth team - bringing the Travel Tournament to life, city by city, summer by summer.

The Proposal

You own it. We grow it.

How it works

On the ground (4-8 weeks/year)

Travel to new cities, run live test tournaments, meet potential hostel partners. This summer: 5 European cities. Then possible launches in Kenya, Bali, Sydney, South Africa, Thailand, India, and New York throughout the year.

Remote (year-round)

App maintenance and feature development. Build game maps for upcoming cities. Hostel partner support. Aiming for 5-15 new cities per year.

Compensation (to discuss)

Item	Detail
Travel expenses	European tour travel and accommodation covered by the entity. Shared with the Silent Disco tour to reduce costs.
App development	On-going retainer?
City launch fee / revenue share	To be discussed - options include per-city launch fee, percentage of licensing revenue from cities launched, or annual retainer.
Equity stake	To be discussed - minority equity stake as part of the growth team package, or purely compensation-based.

    The launch trip is about proving the format and building relationships. We host a tournament in each city, capture marketing-ready video and photo content, get testimonials, and meet hostel partners face-to-face. The revenue from the tour itself is modest - the real value is city-specific content assets and setting up the licensing model that generates recurring revenue year-round.
  

Growth Plan

What the next 12 months looks like

5 European cities this summer, then global expansion through TTT's existing tournament calendar and new markets.

When	Where	Status
Aug 2026	Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris	European launch tour - mapped & ready
Sep 2026	Kenya	Possible launch alongside TTT scoping trip
Nov 2026	Bali	Possible launch
Dec 2026	Sydney	Possible launch
Jan 2027	South Africa	Possible launch
Mar 2027	Thailand	Possible launch
Apr 2027	India	Possible launch alongside TTT flagship
May 2027	New York	Possible launch
Jun-Jul 2027	5-10 more European cities	Year 2 expansion tour

    Each city compounds. Every new city becomes a permanent source of revenue - through hostel licensing, always-on solo play, or both. The game map is built once and generates returns indefinitely. By mid-2027, Travel Tournament could be live in 15+ cities across 4 continents.
  

Next Steps

Let's make this happen

We're flying to Europe on the 30th of July. We're touring these 5 cities and have secured a hostel partner. If you'd also like us to run the Travel Tournament as a test, let us know.

Here's the proposed next steps if so:

Proposed next steps
