TripDoodle

Kids' travel activity books, drawn on the real streets

TripDoodle turns the street map of Paris, Rome or Kraków into puzzle pages a child can solve on the trip, and hands you a print-ready PDF for Amazon KDP.

One payment. No monthly fee, no credits to top up.

Every page is a real place

The streets, squares, rivers and buildings come from OpenStreetMap. The maze runs through the actual old town; the tour stops at the actual cathedral. A child who solves the page can walk it the next morning.

From empty screen to PDF in three steps

  1. Pick a place

    Twenty of the most visited cities are open in Starter, each already built and tested.

  2. Build the book

    One press makes a finished book: name page, packing list, twelve puzzles, an award and the answer pages, 29 PDF pages in all. Or choose every page yourself.

  3. Download and upload

    You get the interior as a 300 dpi PDF at 8.5 × 11 in, plus a title, subtitle, description and keywords written from what is in your book.

Your books do not look like the next buyer's

Each copy of TripDoodle starts with its own mix of colours, its own character, its own page frame and, in most cities, its own set of landmarks. Two publishers who both make a Rome book end up with different pages.

Every puzzle is also drawn fresh from a number that belongs to your copy, so the routes and answers differ too.

Plain facts before you buy

It runs in your browser. Nothing to install. The puzzles are worked out on your own computer, so there is no AI bill and no waiting on a server.

It makes puzzle and keepsake pages, not colouring pages. Every page prints in colour.

You publish the books yourself. You need your own Amazon KDP account, and Starter does not make a cover: use KDP's free Cover Creator or the Pro upgrade.

No sales are promised. TripDoodle makes the book. Whether it sells depends on your niche, your listing and your patience.

Questions

Can I sell the books I make?

Yes. That is what the tool is for. The books are yours to publish on Amazon KDP or anywhere else that prints from a PDF.

Am I allowed to print these maps?

The map data is from OpenStreetMap, which allows commercial use as long as it is credited. TripDoodle prints the credit line on every page and on the cover for you.

What age are the books for?

Roughly 6 to 11. Starter makes medium-level puzzles; the Pro upgrade adds an easy and a hard level.

Does it work on a Mac, a Chromebook, a tablet?

It is built and tested in Chrome and Edge on a computer, Mac or Windows. Other current browsers and tablets can open it, but they are less tested, and building a whole book is more comfortable on a laptop or desktop.

What do the upgrades add?

Pro opens the whole library of 322 places, fifteen more page types, the cover and more. My Places lets you build a book for any town from a map file. Series Studio makes a whole series in one run. You will see them after checkout; none is needed to publish a Starter book.

What if it is not for me?

The refund terms are shown on the WarriorPlus checkout page.
