How it works

Mythology-first storytelling

Every place is anchored to the ancient story that makes it matter — Minotaur, Zeus, Europa, Theseus.

Built for nine-year-olds

Short prose. Hidden Mythos Boxes. A 9-year-old Percy Jackson fan was the first reader.

Offline-first PWA

Add to your home screen and the whole guide travels with you — no signal, no problem.

A taste of the guide

Κνωσός

The first city of Europe. A palace with 1300 rooms. Where Theseus and Ariadne's string changed mythology forever. The Crete guide opens here, with full Finnish prose written for a 9-year-old reader, hidden Mythos Boxes, and practical advice about heat, crowds, and the best time to arrive.

How it works

1 · Pick your home base

One hotel, one apartment, one city. Everything orients around it.

2 · Curate your trip

Star the destinations you actually want to see. Skip the ones you don't.

3 · Carry it with you

Install the PWA to your iPhone. The whole guide installs with one tap.

4 · Use it offline

Caves, ruins, mountains, planes — the guide works without a signal.

Questions families ask

Is it free?
Yes — the Crete guide is free, with no accounts and no ads. We may add a paid Pro tier later for offline audio narration and additional regions, but the core mythology guide stays free.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Demigod's Guide is a Progressive Web App. Add it to your iPhone or Android home screen and the entire guide — text, images, map of your home base area — works without a signal.
What ages is it for?
It's written for a 9-year-old reader (the founder's son was the first user), but it works for any mythology-curious family member. Younger kids enjoy it read aloud; older kids and adults read it themselves.
Is there an iOS App Store version?
Not yet. V1 is a PWA you install via Safari ("Add to Home Screen"). A native iOS App Store release is planned for late 2026 once the second region (mainland Greece) ships.
What languages is it in?
V1 ships with full Finnish content. English content is on the way for V1.1 (summer 2026). German, French, and Spanish are on the longer-term roadmap.
Where does the mythology come from?
We draw from public-domain ancient sources — Hesiod, Homer, Ovid — and from accessible classical scholarship. We do not quote or reproduce text from any modern fiction (including the Percy Jackson series); the connection is the shared mythology, not the books.
What data do you collect?
None on our servers. Your home base, favorites, and trip data are stored only in your device's browser (LocalStorage). Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap. There is no analytics, no tracking, no account.
Can I add more destinations?
Right now V1 covers six handpicked Crete destinations. V1.2 (late summer 2026) will add more Crete sites and themed routes ("Footsteps of Zeus", "The Minotaur Trail"). V2 expands to mainland Greece.
