The idea

Kim first asked for an interactive map of the businesses taking part. It grew into the first live run of Halloween Passport, an oo.studio platform for local trails, with the whole event living on Santa’s Secret’s own website.

Main streets in small towns compete with shopping centres and online orders. Halloween is one of the few nights families walk a town together, so it’s a chance to walk them past local doors.

Every stop, door to door

  • One map, made for phones. Streets and after-dark modes, a list view, and a simpler map for older phones.
  • Real logos, not icons. 15 of the 16 stops show their own logo, so families can spot them from the footpath.
  • Clear directions. Each stop has its address, its category (treats, food and drink, local shops) and access notes where they matter, like the four shops sharing the Village Square.
  • Supporters thanked. Woodwork Cafe, Bliss Fur and Platform 6 donated gift certificates. They were closed on the day, so they’re thanked on the page but kept off the walking map.

How it landed

A HUGE thank you for organising yesterday’s event and including us in your map! We had a wonderful day’s trade and we loved seeing the kids and parents in costume. Happy to be involved in helping with other events.

  • A wonderfully wicked afternoon. Kim had a great day, and the page moved straight into thank-you mode the next morning.
  • Sixteen businesses, one map. Shops, cafes, a gelato cart, a doggy cafe and the Royal Hotel opened their doors on one shared trail.
  • Interest beyond Bungendore. The event was listed on Visit NSW, and NSW Tourism has shown interest in taking the passport to other towns.
  • Already planning 2027. Families can sign up to hear next year’s date first.
