Sponsor the game
your whole town will play
Gemspot is a free local treasure hunt that turns your town's businesses into gems people go find. One realtor gets to bring it home — and that realtor leads local instead of chasing cold leads.
We choose one agent per town. The application is how we make sure it's the right fit.

THE TRUTH ABOUT REALTOR MARKETING
Cold leads don't build a hometown reputation
Most agent marketing is the same recycled playbook — bought leads, mailers people toss, ads that interrupt strangers. It's expensive, it's forgettable, and it makes you one more name shouting for attention.
Gemspot flips it. Instead of chasing people, you give your town something fun and free — and your name is on the thing everyone's talking about. That's not a lead magnet. That's becoming the agent people already feel good about before they ever call you.
WHAT IT IS
A free treasure hunt,
played all over town
Players open the Gemspot app and find "gems" hidden around town — real local businesses they unlock by showing up and solving simple clues.
It's free for players, free for the participating businesses, and Sponsored by one sponsoring realtor: you. Every map and every gem carries your brand alongside Gemspot's.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS
Why we built Gemspot
Gemspot started in a small Oklahoma lake town we love — built by a mother and daughter giving back to our community, and bringing a fresh marketing idea to an industry that needs one.
Building it side by side.
Showing up — every season.
We moved to Oklahoma in 2020 and fell hard for Grand Lake — and the way we fell for it was by showing up. For six years, this community is where we spent our time and gave our hearts.
Showing up — every season. Lexi was fully involved in the best way: student council president, cheerleading and stunt, volunteering at charity events, always one of the first to show up when the town needed hands. Misti was right there beside her — together we even co-founded Mooving Through Grove, a charity event for C.O.W. week that helped students raise nearly $250,000 in Lexi’s senior year. Somewhere along the way, all that showing up stopped being something we did — it became who we are, and the biggest part of what we love about living here.
Then came the bittersweet part. With Lexi heading off to college, that whole rhythm of being out in the community together was about to change — drastically. And neither of us wanted it to end.
So we created Gemspot: a reason to keep showing up, and a way to pull a whole town out into the businesses and streets we love. We built it for our town and for us — and now we get to build it for realtors and towns everywhere.
"We didn't want to leave home behind. So we built something to share home with everyone."
— Misti & Lexi, Founders of Gemspot
QUESTIONS
Good things to ask
Do I have to build or run the app?
No. We build it, brand it, and keep it running. You sponsor it and show up for the relationships.
Is it really one realtor per town?
Yes — exclusive. While you sponsor your town, no competing agent can.
What if my town is already taken?
Apply anyway. We'll add you to the waitlist for your town — if the current sponsor ever steps away, you're first in line.
What do the businesses pay?
Nothing to participate. Participating businesses become gems for free; the sponsorship is what funds it.
What am I actually paying for?
Your own branding and marketing — your name on the game and the content that keeps your community engaged. Not app development.
How do I get started?
Apply below. If your town's open and it's a fit, we'll set up a call.
