How it works
Questory is a game you play on a walk. Wren, an AI agent, runs it with three subagents, each a different Meta model.
The game loop
1
You take a photo of where you are.
2
Wren tells you what it means for the case, and you walk on.
3
The quest says what to find, and you take the next photo.
A photo that moves the case forward becomes a piece of evidence. You choose how long to walk, from 15 minutes to an hour, and the case is sized so you solve it on that walk. You need to walk 5 minutes to unlock the next quest. Sometimes, Wren also asks for a closer look at something in the photo you took.
Wren and its subagents
Wren runs on Muse Wonder. It plans the case, reads each photo with what it remembers, writes what happens and sets the next quest. Wren can't walk, so you do. Each subagent is another Meta model with one job, and this screen shows all three at work.
Muse Image painted the evidence from your photo.
Wren wrote the story on Muse Wonder, and Muse Spark checked it against your photo.
Wren set the next step, and SAM 3.1 outlined the door in your photo, so you know where to look.
What happens to each photo
Phone
Your photo
Your phone resizes it, which drops its location data.
Agent
Muse Wonder
Wren reads the photo with the story so far, then writes what happens and the next quest.
Subagent
Muse Spark
Takes out anything Wren describes that the photo doesn't show.
At the same time
Subagent
SAM 3.1
Outlines what a closer-look quest points at.
Memory
Story memory
The hidden plan, which real thing is which, and the facts so far.
Wren reads it again on the next photo.
Subagent
Muse Image
When the photo turns up evidence, paints it from your photo.
How Wren keeps a case together
At the start, Wren decides the answer and plans a trail of places and objects that leads to it. Each quest goes where the last find pointed. When the evidence stops pointing to the answer, Wren changes the answer to fit what you found.
Its memory of a case has three layers, saved after every photo, so a case can pick up again days later.
Skeleton
The hidden plan: the answer, what each chapter finds out and the steps on each lead.
It changes only when your photos no longer fit the plan.
Bindings
Which real thing is which story element.
They can be added or swapped with any photo.
Canon
Facts already established in play.
New facts could be added, but old ones never change.
Two players
A shared case has two leads, one for each player, that come at the answer from different sides. You each follow yours on your own walk. Wren sees what both of you found and writes each chapter's ending from all of it. A short lock on each case means two photos sent at once both count.
