Ody Hop

About Ody Hop

Making tourism more engaging, rewarding, and connected

Our Story

We built Ody Hop because we believe travel should be more than sightseeing — it should be an adventure. We combine the thrill of game mechanics with the richness of local culture to create experiences travelers actually remember.

It started with one country and 100 badges. Each badge is a real place, a real flavor, a real story. Today we're six destinations and growing — Costa Rica, Iceland, Peru, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and Alaska.

Our goal is simple: send travelers home with more than photos. With badges they earned, memories they made, and real connections to the people who showed them the way.
