Introducing the ARDI Creator Program– your chance to showcase your storytelling prowess, earn creator rewards, and turn your love for your city into a rewarding venture!

As a new writer, you'll start with a 30% creator reward rate until you sell your first 100 quests. Reach that milestone, and unlock the Tier 2 level, skyrocketing your rate to a jaw-dropping 70%! Maintain a 4-star rating over 6 months and create one new quest every 12 months to keep that sweet lifetime benefit.

We're on a worldwide hunt for exceptional writers to create captivating CityQuests that showcase the heart and soul of their hometowns.

Whether you hail from the charming streets of Stockholm, the vibrant lanes of Barcelona, or the bustling boroughs of New York, this is your chance to put your city on the map!

Our CityQuest adventures have already taken root in Stockholm, Göteborg, Lund, Barcelona, Sydney, London, Nashville, San Francisco, New York, Dallas, and Chicago.

But we're not stopping there!

We're eagerly seeking passionate writers from every corner of the globe to join our growing community of storytellers.

So, whether you're a local legend in Lima, a culture connoisseur in Cairo, or a history buff in Helsinki, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective and love for your city are the key ingredients to crafting unforgettable CityQuests that will inspire and delight adventurers from all walks of life.

Creator Program Terms

We want to be as transparent with our writers as possible and are placing our terms upfront.

ARDI offers a creator program to incentivize writers to create engaging and high-quality CityQuest content. By participating in this program, writers can earn creator rewards based on the sales of their quests.

Creator Reward Structure

New Writers: 

• Writers who are new to the platform will start at a creator reward rate of 30% of the sales price for each quest sold.
• This rate will apply until the writer has sold a total of 100 quests.

Experienced Writers: 

• Once a writer has sold a total of 100 quests, their creator reward rate may increase to 70% of the sales price for each quest sold.

Creator Reward Tiers and Requirements

• Tier 1: 30% creator reward rate
  • Applies to new writers until they have sold 100 quests.
  • No additional requirements.

• Tier 2: 70% creator reward rate
  • Applies to writers who have sold 100 or more quests.
  • Requires maintaining an average rating of 4 stars or higher for their quests over a 6-month period.
  • Requires consistent creation and publication of new quests, with at least one new quest every 12 months.

Inactivity or Poor Feedback:

If a writer in Tier 2 fails to meet the requirements (maintaining an average rating of 4 stars or higher, creating at least one new quest every 12 months), their creator reward rate will drop back to 30% until they meet the requirements again.

Creator Reward Payments

Creator rewards will be calculated monthly and paid out within 30 days of the end of each month. Writers will need to provide valid payment information to receive their creator rewards.

Content Guidelines and Quality Control

All quests created by writers must adhere to ARDI's content guidelines and quality standards. ARDI reserves the right to reject or remove any quests that do not meet these standards.

Intellectual Property

Writers retain ownership of the intellectual property for the quests they create. However, by participating in the creator program, writers grant ARDI a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display their quests worldwide.

Changes to the Creator Program

ARDI reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the creator program at any time, with or without notice. In the event of any changes, ARDI will notify participants and provide them with the opportunity to adjust their participation accordingly.
