Our books
Real days, painted page by page, printed and sold.
The whole thing, in pictures
What we built
Everything the Goof Off Club runs on, laid out so you can point at it and explain it: the painted books, the story maker families use, the shop and patches, the two wrapped trucks and the road they're driving, and the desk where the three of us run it all.
Four parts, one club
If someone asks what this is, these are the four things to show them.
Your books
Families paint their own photos and print them.
Patches & shop
A patch for every adventure finished, plus the hat.
The road
Two wrapped trucks, a route of towns, and the people funding it.
How each piece flows
Three paths run through the site. Follow the arrows left to right.

Ten places to send people, each with one job.

The homepage opens with “Everyone deserves an adventure,” introduces the three of us, and shows the painted stories.

Open the bookThe story maker
A family adds a photo, it gets painted into watercolor, they answer three small questions a page, and finish a whole book.

Patches, the four-patch set, the hat, stickers, prints and the print kit — every one with a real checkout.

Three ways to chip in, the adventures we're raising for, and a wall of everyone who got us down the road.

See itThe patches we made
One for every adventure finished. Free for monthly members, $8 for everyone else.
The two trucks, two sides each
One side asks people to fund an adventure. The other thanks the people who already did. Each side has its own scan code, so we know which one people saw.
Giving side
“Fund an adventure. Scan here.” It lands on the Giving page.
Givers side
“These people got us here.” It lands on the Givers wall.
The desk, behind the curtain
Only the three of us see this part. It's where books get written, orders get filled, and the road gets planned.
