Telescope Cards
These custom mini city guides encourage users to create their own physical travel itineraries


In a move that eschews the digital for the physical, London-based company Minifiedhave created Telescope Cards. A custom deck of 25 cards that serves as a mini city guide, Telescope Cards bring the benefit of online knowledge to more personal and tangible objects.
With each of the 25 cards assigned to a specific spot in a city (whether it’s a restaurant, shop, art gallery or park), customers can create their own itinerary – adding little tips to the bottom of each card – or import lists from Foursquare before sending them off for printing.
Itineraries can also be shared with friends or gifted. Having knowledge from a local friend when traveling is always beneficial – Telescope Cards are now giving people the opportunity to cement their personal tips in a neat, good-looking package.
