Three Dark Parlour Society fortune capsule machines
No. 04 — For Shops

A strange and beautiful
machine for your shop.

The Go Wander capsule machine lives in your space. Customers pull a fortune for $1. Something interesting happens.

It's a talking
point.

The Go Wander machine is a hand-branded capsule vending machine that dispenses fortunes — handwritten permission slips, prompts, and tasks designed for the neighborhood where it lives.

It sits on a counter or shelf. People notice it. They ask about it. They pull a capsule and read their fortune out loud. We've found it makes people stay a little longer — and come back.

01 The machine lives in your shop. We handle all stocking, restocking, and servicing.
02 Customers insert $1, turn the knob, and receive a sealed capsule. No app. No account. Just a turn of a knob.
03 The fortunes inside are written specifically for your neighborhood — the kind of people who walk through your door.
04 Get in touch and we'll talk through what a placement looks like for your specific space.
What's inside
Task

"Buy flowers for someone who won't expect them."

Place

"Walk to the end of the nearest dead-end street."

Song

"Listen to Clair de Lune while you eat dinner tonight."

Prompt

"Tell someone something true you've been keeping to yourself."

Every fortune is written for the store where the machine lives. The fortunes at a bookshop are different from the ones at a coffee counter.
