FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY

A little lost.
A little found.

Follow a clue to a hidden QR code. Scan it—or open it on the same device—to collect the stray waiting behind it.

ONLINE HUNT · LIVE NOW · STRAY MATTER’S OWN SITE

The wandering garden.

“I take my house wherever I go.
A flower above, a spiral below.
Three little strangers are peeking through—
find my garden gate, and I’ll wait for you.”

You can follow the clue now. Sign in when you find the code to save your discovery.

PHYSICAL TRAIL · NOT OPEN YET

Out in the actual world.

The first local hiding spots are being arranged. When a host has agreed, this trail will show a clue and a named public search area.

No location is active yet. There is no need to travel anywhere for this trail today.

Placement requires the host’s permission. A clue will never direct you into private or restricted areas.

FUTURE PARTNER TRAILS

Bring a little weirdness to your doorstep.

A participating business could host a code on an agreed counter, noticeboard, or website page. Stray Matter would feature its clue and introduce collectors to the host. The business could promote the hunt to its customers in return.

Partner trails are being planned. No outside brands or locations are currently listed as partners. Physical stops will appear only after their hosts agree to placement.
