Internet of Experiences

Your nights out finally have a home.

Every escape room, raft trip, axe night, and Friday-night show already ends in a camera roll nobody scrolls again. IOX gives that night a place to live — the venue, the friends who were there, the photos you actually took — pinned to a passport that’s yours for keeps. Built from the bookings you already make.

The receipt fades. The night doesn’t have to.

01How a night on IOX actually works

A booking, the people there, the photos, the proof — caught before they fade.

01

You book on a spoke.

You’re on a venue’s site — Smoky Mountain Escape Games, 19th Lanes, Barter Theatre downtown, the 7D Dark Ride at the Island. You pay. You go. That part doesn’t change.

02

IOX quietly catches the moment.

Behind the scenes, the booking enters your IOX passport. The venue. The date. The room or the boat or the seat. The friends you came with — even the ones who don’t have an account yet.

03

You and the people there add the photos.

Phones come out anyway. IOX gives that camera roll a home: pinned to this exact moment, shared with exactly the people who were there, and tagged with the venue forever.

04

It compounds.

A week later your nephew asks where you went and you have a link, not a guess. A year later the inside joke comes back the second you see the photo. Five years later your kid scrolls the room like a yearbook. The booking didn’t evaporate — it became a thing you own.

02The graph behind the moment

Friends-of-experience, not friends-of-platform.

You don’t add followers. You add the people who were actually with you — the ones laughing in the photo, paddling the same boat, sitting in the next seat. From there your world quietly widens: their venues become your discovery, your venues become theirs. No algorithm. No ads. Just the kind of map a real life draws.

  • The center is you.
  • The edges are the people you’ve done things with.
  • The next ring is the venues they’ve loved.
  • Everything you see, you earned by showing up.
03A passport, year after year

Watch your real life stack up.

Most platforms scroll you into a hole. IOX scrolls you up out of one. Every booking lands on your timeline. Every photo, every friend tag, every achievement gets pinned to the moment it actually happened. You don’t have to remember to post. You just have to show up.

04Deals that find you

Operators reach you because you’ve been there — not because they bought your data.

The venues you’ve loved can offer you something specific. A comeback, a sequel room, a slot that just opened up. One soft surface, capped at a few per month, dismissible with a single tap. No pop-ups. No newsletter spam. No cross-selling your address book. You earn the discount by having shown up — that’s the deal.

  • Surfaced in-app, never via push or email blast.
  • Caps the sender — once per venue per 14 days.
  • One-tap to add to your wallet, one-tap to mute.
  • The friends you went with see it too — bring them back.
05Bring the people who were there

Book once. Invite the party. Split the cost. Share the night.

You book the room, the boat, the table. IOX sends a clean invite to the friends you tag — accept and IOX charges them their share, the booker gets reimbursed automatically, and the moment ends up shared across everyone’s passport. One booking. One page. Every camera roll feeding it.

06Why we built it this way

A fountain, not a feed. Add to your life — don’t perform it.

Most platforms drain you to grow. IOX is the opposite arrangement: a fountain that holds the moments your real life already creates, and gives them somewhere to live.

Real photos. Yours, not ours.

Every photo on IOX is taken by someone who was there. No stock. No AI. The blurry one of the four of you cracking up still counts — and it’s the kind that lasts.

Friends-of-experience, not followers.

You don’t collect strangers. You add the people who were actually with you. That’s the only edge in the graph — and it’s the one that compounds.

Every memory has a venue.

The room name, the date, the city, the operator. A moment you can pin to a place you can return to — not a vibe with no coordinates.

Stats from doing, not from posting.

47 minutes in Mountain Cabin Mystery. 12 rivers run. 6 venues across 4 states. The kind of numbers a kid is proud to show their grandkids.

Deals you actually want.

Operators can offer a discount to people who’ve already done something close. No spam. No pop-ups. Surfaced once, accepted or dismissed, and the system learns.

Yours to keep, yours to leave.

Every booking, photo, and friend is exportable. If you ever quit IOX, you walk away with a beautifully formatted PDF passport of every moment. The door swings both ways.

07Hub & Spokes

One identity. Eighteen kinds of night out.

Each spoke is a purpose-built booking site for one kind of experience: escape rooms, axe throwing, theatre, rafting, golf simulators. The hub is the one place all of them feed into: your passport. You sign up once. Everything you’ve ever done across the network finds its way home.

Open — looking for a Founder11 spokes

These spokes are live in the ecosystem but don’t yet have a founding tenant. The first operator on each gets the permanent 5% Founder rate, a roadmap voice for the vertical, and the Founder badge — still $0 to join. Become a Founder.

08Real venues. Real bookings.

The founding tenants already running everything on IOX.

Theatres, escape rooms, stables, party-rental fleets, bowling centers, dark rides, golf simulators — booking, payments, ops, and the cross-spoke passport their guests carry between venues. Their logos here are the same ones their customers see at checkout this weekend. Tap any card to see the platform that runs them.

Smoky Mountain Escape Games
Smoky Mountain Escape Games
Pigeon Forge, TN

Six themed escape rooms in the heart of Pigeon Forge. The first venue on Skape — running every booking, waiver, hint, and leaderboard through IOX since the day the platform went live. Their players walk away with the run time written into their IOX passport, and the venue forever attached.

Barter Theatre venue
Barter Theatre
Barter Theatre
Abingdon, VA

Founded in 1933 — the longest-running professional Equity theatre in the country. Barter runs reserved seating, season subscriptions, touring runs across multiple stages, and the Memorial seat-mapping plugin on top of IOX Stage. The first regional theatre to commit to a passport-backed audience graph.

Fun For All Inflatables & Party Rentals venue

Free delivery within 24 miles, tiered zone pricing beyond. Every weekend rental, every weather gate, every deposit-and-damage workflow runs through IOX Gear.

19th Parlor venue
19th Parlor
19th Parlor
Demo venue · Tennessee

The 19th Parlor is the live demo tenant powering every Wedge feature you see — bay scheduling, course library, in-bay food and beverage tabs, league nights, and the handicap tracker. The exact stack any new Founder inherits on day one.

19th Lanes venue
19th Lanes
19th Lanes
Tennessee

A neighborhood bowling center running open bowl, cosmic nights, USBC-style leagues, birthday parties, and lane-side kitchen orders all through IOX Lane. League standings and personal averages flow straight back onto every bowler's passport.

7D Dark Ride Adventure venue
7D Dark Ride Adventure
7D Dark Ride Adventure
Pigeon Forge, TN · Branson, MO

Operated by Face Amusement Group, 7D Dark Ride Adventure runs three rotating titles — Zombies, Los Banditos, and Dark Castle — across two flagship locations on the Island in Pigeon Forge and Branson Landing. Showtimes, capacity gates, per-shooter scoring, and the post-ride leaderboard guests carry between visits all run on IOX Screen.

River Creek Stables venue
River Creek Stables
River Creek Stables
East Tennessee

Riding lessons, guided trail rides, full-care boarding, summer camps, and a working farm. River Creek Stables runs every instructor schedule, horse-rider pairing, vaccination record, and monthly boarding invoice through IOX Stall — and every rider walks away with the trail, the horse, and the photo pinned to their passport.

09For Operators

The only platform that comes with customers.

Every other booking system asks you to start from zero — your subscription pays for software, the customer base is your problem. IOX flips it. The booking, payments, ops, and ecommerce software is free. The part you’d normally pay a year of marketing for — Adventurers in your area whose friends already book on IOX — is reachable the day you turn it on. They don’t find you because you bought their data. They find you because the people they go out with already do.

What you pay for the platform
Setup & development
$0

Branded site, catalog import, staff onboarding, payment setup — done for you, in days not months.

Monthly subscription
$0

Zero recurring fees. No tiers. No seat caps. No upgrade path. Forever.

Hosting & infrastructure
$0

Servers, database, CDN, SSL, transactional email, status page — IOX runs and pays for all of it.

How IOX stays alive

A 6% service fee paid by your customer at checkout.

They see it clearly before they confirm. You keep 100% of your ticket price. That 6% funds the software, the hosting, the support, the email, and the entire IOX network — forever. Founders pay 5% instead — a permanent price advantage for the operator who said yes first.
