Whisper Lore

What is a Whisper Stone?

A Whisper Stone is a locked moment in time, created by a story it witnessed. Tap it with your phone and it opens a short story.

They’re not meant to be collected. They’re meant to be noticed, experienced — a tiny pause in your day that turns an ordinary place into something… else.

There’s no “solve” and no “fail”. If you can tap it, you can experience it. Some stones offer joy, grief, reflection — but always meaning.


Some stones are waiting — under leaves, near benches, along paths, or tucked where you’d never think to look. If you pause and pay attention… you might find one.

If you find a Whisper Stone, you’re a Seeker now. Welcome.


Pick a Whisper from the section to learn how each one behaves.

How to Play

Whisper Stones are simple creatures: find one, tap it, read/listen, then leave it safely for the next Seeker.

No points. No leaderboards. No “gotcha” puzzles. (Yet.. *Winks*) Just real-world story breadcrumbs and location based magic.

If you smile, that counts.

  • Find a Whisper. Some are obvious. Some enjoy hide and seek.
  • Tap with your phone. The Whisper opens the story automatically (no app needed).
  • Take a moment. Read the whisper, hear the audio if it has one. Feel the meaning.
  • Leave a message. A kind note/clue and a location helps the trail stay alive.
  • Re-hide nearby. Keep it outdoors, reachable (not on private property), safe from harm, mess and trinket poachers.

If you’re not sure what to do, the default is easy: leave it where you found it. but make sure your clue for the next Seeker is descriptive enough for them to stand a chance at finding it. Because you are the link in the chain that keeps the stories going.

Begin Your Journey

Here are three Whispers recently reported by other Seekers. Locations are deliberately a little vague — close enough to start looking, not enough to spoil the hunt.

Refresh to see a different trio.

You’ll see each stone once per cycle. When the deck is spent, we reshuffle the newest “last seen” locations.

Whisper Rules

The Whisper Stones only work if everyone treats them with care. These aren’t restrictions — they’re promises between strangers.

  • Please don’t throw, smash, or vandalise a Whisper Stone.
  • Don’t hide them on private property — other Seekers can’t reach them.
  • Don’t bury them, make them impossible to find and don’t toss them into rivers, lakes, or the sea.
  • You dont need to leave a Seekers Message if you don't want to, the story will work for you either way. We only ask that the Whisper goes back in the same spot you found it so other Seekers following the latest clues can still have a chance at discovery.
  • Keep messages kind. This is for families, solo explorers, and curious hearts.
  • Always add a rough location clue when you leave a message (area / landmark — not your home address).
  • Some Whispers are tied to places. They may ask for your location only when you tap (with permission) so they can protect their own “last seen” spot — never to track you.
  • Don’t keep a Whisper Stone\. Leave it to wander, or re-hide it nearby\.
  • The Whispers do use location data to work, account creation isnt needed at this stage and no personal information is sorted in the Archive. Your progress is stored on your own device.

When a Whisper Goes Quiet

Sometimes a Whisper isn’t where it should be. Sometimes it hasn’t spoken in a long while. Sometimes life can be cruel to them.

Before you report: take a slow look around. A Whisper may be a few steps away — tucked from weather, moved to safety, or hidden with care.

If a Whisper is damaged, silent, or clearly out of place (somewhere unsafe, private, or impossible to reach), you can let us know.

There is no blame here. Only listening.

Noticing is part of being a Seeker.

Some lost Whispers can be guided home when found. If one asks for help, it’s okay to listen.

We don’t ask for your email here. Your report is sent to the keeper.

The Project

The Whisper Stones are an experiment in living folklore.

They were created from a love of magic, local history, shared places, and the way stories quietly teach us things we may not yet have words for. Not lessons given through lecture, but moments discovered for ourselves.

Every Whisper is shaped by where it lives and by the people who find it. Some carry humour. Some carry grief. Some simply remind us that others stood here before us, wondering similar things.

They remind us that we are not alone, that the world is still full of wonders. Some tales may be feel insignificant, but others may speak to your core.

This project isn’t about collecting objects or completing trails. It’s about giving stories a place to exist in the wild — where they can be stumbled upon, remembered and moved with care.

Whisper Stones are created slowly, witnesses to moments in time. They are a reminder that although technology hurtles forwards, we can take the time to slow down. Go on an adventure, discover a tale or two in the real-world.

If the Whispers awaken something, that’s deliberate. If it feels meaningful, that’s the hope.

This project is a completely new experience for me to try and accomplish. I thank you for your patience and support while i continue to try and bring this project to life.
