Internet of Experiences — for operators

Run the experience. We’ll run everything else.

Not a generic booking system — a platform built to be the best at your vertical. Bookings, payments, your branded website, loyalty, and the follow-up that brings guests back. Free to launch, $0 a month, and your customers cover a small fee at checkout — so you keep 100% of your ticket. And it arrives with an audience already booking at venues like yours.

01The economics

Free to launch. Free to run. You keep 100% of your ticket.

Every other booking system charges you a subscription for the software and leaves the customers as your problem. IOX flips it. The booking, payments, ops, website, and ecommerce software is free — forever. What keeps the lights on is a small fee your customer pays at checkout, shown clearly before they confirm. You never pay a monthly bill, and you keep every dollar of your ticket price.

Ballpark for typical booking software. On IOX the only number that ever leaves your pocket is zero — the fee rides on the customer’s checkout.

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 extended by invitation to the operator who said yes first.

02Built per vertical

Not one platform. A separate booking system for every vertical.

IOX isn’t one tool stretched thin across every business. It’s a family of separate, purpose-built booking systems — each its own product, with its own site and its own tools, made for exactly one kind of venue. Escape rooms run on Skape. Axe halls on Blade. Theatres on Stage. Golf sims on Wedge. Your operation gets the system built for it — never a watered-down everything-app. (One IOX identity quietly ties them together for the guests who move between them.)

Open — looking for a Founder11 verticals open

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

04The audience advantage

The only booking platform that arrives with customers.

Every other system asks you to start from zero and go buy your own traffic. IOX is wired into a living network of guests — and the people they go out with. When someone’s friend has already booked a venue like yours, you surface to them through the graph, not through an ad you paid for. The audience is the product, and it comes switched on.

  • Discovery from real relationships, not bought data.
  • Friends see where friends went — and follow them in.
  • Cross-promotion across every venue on the network.
  • No ad spend, no list rental, no spam.
05Real 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 venue
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.

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.

For Adventurers

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.

Most nights blur together. Yours don’t have to.

06How 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.

07A 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.

08Deals 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.
09Bring the people who were there

Book the night. Invite the party. Pay your own way — or split it.

You start the booking, tag your crew, and pick how it’s paid for. Pay it yourself and just gather everyone, or split it — each person pays their own share, no one fronts the bill, no one chases a Venmo. The booking unlocks the moment everyone has paid (or you drop someone who can’t make it). One booking. One page. Every camera roll feeding it.

10One place for the whole trip

Plan it together. Stay in touch in one thread.

A trip is more than one booking. IOX gives your group one place for the whole night, the whole weekend, the whole road trip — IOX experiences sit alongside your Airbnb, your dinner reservation, the link someone pasted in. The party chat lives right next to the itinerary, so plans, reactions, and last-minute changes never get scattered across four different apps.

11Why 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.

Two doors

One platform. Two ways in.

For Operators

Put your venue on IOX.

Tell us about your operation and we’ll build your branded platform around it — live in under a week. $0 to launch, $0 a month, your customers cover the fee. Don’t see a spoke for your kind of business? The first operator in each new vertical comes in as a Founder: a permanent 5% rate, a roadmap voice, and the audience already booking with your competitors.

For Adventurers

Start the passport.

Sign up in 30 seconds. The next time you book on a spoke — escape room, axe lane, theatre seat, trail ride — the moment is already yours. Add the friends who were there. Drop the photos. Watch the years stack. Free for life.
