Hidden Gemz - your ticket to explore the city

We provide a city-exploration platform that sells bookable year-round, self-guided experiences designed for friends, couples, and newcomers to explore multiple local spots in a single day. Our experiences include a meal, an activity, and a dessert, all covered by a single ticket.

This approach not only promotes social interaction and city exploration but also drives revenue to local businesses. Each participating business receives a portion of the ticket sales directly when someone visits with a ticket. Hidden Gemz actively markets these bookable experiences to attract new customers, enhancing the visibility and appeal of local spots.

In September 2024, we will being our mobile app development.

Ranique and the Hidden Gemz team were great employers! I enjoyed working on social media campaigns with her. She took in a lot of the feedback we would give and was always open to trying our ideas. Additionally, she was very considerate of everyone being in different time zones and worked around our schedules to ensure we would always have at least a team meeting and 1-1 meeting weekly during our 4-week placement.
