The Process

How The Mystery Family Works

From booking to badge — here's exactly what to expect when you commission a Mystery Family audit.

01
📋

Choose Your Package

Select the audit level that suits your venue and goals. Options include:

  • Experience Audit — A one-off deep-dive with 10 families
  • Ongoing Checks — Quarterly or semi-annual follow-up visits
  • Premium Package — Extended visits, longer videos, and detailed consultancy
02
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Families Visit Your Venue

Our pre-selected families visit your venue as real guests — completely unannounced. Each family covers a different perspective, including diverse backgrounds, neurodiverse children, and accessibility requirements.

03
🎥

Video & Questionnaire

Families record short video clips throughout their visit — at arrival, during the experience, at food & facilities, and at departure. They also complete a structured questionnaire covering every touchpoint.

04
📄

Receive Your Report

You receive a professional PDF report with clear scores, honest observations, and prioritised actionable recommendations. No jargon — just straightforward insight from real families.

05

Optional Accreditation

Venues that meet our scoring threshold earn the Mystery Family Approved badge — a trust signal for families researching their next day out.
