THE 777 EXPERIMENT
The years are moving fast. The memories don’t have to.
You want the people you love to remember more than busy schedules, unfinished lists and everyone looking at separate screens.
You want inside jokes. Little traditions. Unexpected adventures. Stories that begin with, “Remember when we…?”
But between the cost of family activities, the time it takes to plan them and the daily work of simply keeping life moving, meaningful moments can become something we keep meaning to create.
Adventure Year makes them easier.
For $79, your family receives a full year of ideas designed to help you connect, explore, create, contribute- and capture the stories you’re creating along the way.
No elaborate plans.
No expensive vacations required.
No pressure to turn every moment into a masterpiece.
Just a steady stream of sparks that helps you turn the life you already have into a story worth remembering.
AN APP DESIGNED TO HELP YOU PUT DOWN THE APP
My Gnome on the Roam was created for people who care deeply about connection- but don’t always have the time, money or ideas to create it.
Your Adventure Year gives you simple ways to:
Connect more meaningfully with the people you love
Explore your home, neighborhood and wider world
Create simply for the joy of creating
Contribute to your community
Begin traditions your family can return to
Save favorite adventures for later
Capture your memories in the in-app journal
The compass shows you where you’re going.
The journal reminds you where you’ve been.
YOU DON’T NEED MORE TIME. YOU NEED A SPARK.
“We don’t have enough time.”
Adventure doesn’t have to take an entire day. Some of the moments people remember most begin at the dinner table, in the backyard, during the drive home or in the few ordinary minutes before bedtime.
“Everything is so expensive.”
Meaningful memories aren’t measured by the price of admission. Many adventures use what you already have, take place close to home or cost nothing at all.
“I never know what to do.”
That is exactly what Adventure Year solves. Instead of searching endlessly for family activities, you’ll have ideas ready whenever you need one.
“I’m afraid we won’t use it perfectly.”
You don’t have to.
Choose what fits. Save what you love. Repeat your favorites. Skip what doesn’t belong to your family. This is not another obligation-
it is a source of possibility.
$79 FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR
That’s about $1.52 a week to help turn ordinary time into stories, traditions and a lasting family legacy.
WHO IS ADVENTURE YEAR FOR?
FOR PARENTS
You’re trying to raise children who know how to wonder, make, care, contribute and feel fully alive in a world that constantly pulls their attention toward a screen.
Adventure Year helps you protect those deeply human parts of childhood—without adding another enormous project to your list.
FOR FRIENDS AND GIFT-GIVERS
Give a family something they can experience long after the wrapping paper is gone.
An Adventure Year is a gift for:
New parents and growing families
Birthdays and adoption days
A perfect holiday gift for anyone on your list
Grandparents and grandchildren
Families beginning a new season
Families who have been through a difficult season
Anyone who wants more time together and fewer things
You aren’t simply giving them an app. You’re giving them a year of stories waiting to happen. Memories being made. Legacy being built.
FOR GRANDPARENTS
Your greatest gift may not be something they can hold.
It may be the stories you tell, the places you explore, the things you teach them and the traditions they will one day carry into families of their own.
Adventure Year gives you reasons to keep making those memories—whether you live nearby or have to create connection across the miles.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN 777 FAMILIES BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
Not magic like waving a wand and making everything easy.
The kind that happens when we look up from our screens. Try something new. Watch a sunset. Laugh together. Make something simply because we can. Help someone because they matter.
That is the magic My Gnome on the Roam was created to protect.
Now, we’re inviting 777 families to help us create more of it.
A Year of Small Adventures
Each month focuses on a different theme.
January- magic moment marathon turns adventures into a habit
April- Gnome Your Neighbor helps families reconnect with their community
Holiday Adventure- an entire month of daily ideas to turn the holiday into memories and stories you can share for a lifetime
These themes gently guide families toward connection, curiosity, and contribution.
Built for Real Life
Adventure Year was created by educator and author Anne Armstrong, founder of My Gnome on the Roam.
After years working with families, classrooms, and communities, Anne noticed something important:
Families don’t need more to-do lists, they need more adventures that fit into the time they have available
Adventure Year provides those ideas in a way that feels fun and meaningful. (Did we mention these ideas are free/inexpensive?)
