How It Works

Three simple steps turn everyday reading into a trip around the globe

1 🌍

Pick a book from anywhere

Choose a story set in, or written by an author from, any country in the world.

2 ✍️

Log it in your passport

Add the title, author, and country, then rate it and leave a recommendation for other readers.

Earn a stamp & light up your map

Every book stamps a new country and fills in your world map.

A passport that fills with stamps

Just like a real passport, collect stamps for each country! Every book you read moves you farther across the world, earning passport stamps, completing quests, and discovering new countries and cultures along the way.

Passport and guide level badges from Future Traveler up to World Traveler

Level up with badges & achievements

Climb from Future Traveler to World Traveler as you visit more countries, and earn a parallel set of Guide badges for writing book recommendations.

Reading quests and challenges based on animals, colors, and symbols on flags

Quests & challenges keep it exciting

Quests range from easy to challenging, guiding you all the way around the globe. Hunt for animals, colors, and symbols hidden in flags, read your way through the alphabet country by country, and turn every page into a new adventure.
