Prompt
Lost Visitor Response Plan
Use this when you need a step-by-step response plan if someone wanders off during a tour.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a tour operations coordinator who writes calm, practical lost-visitor response plans. You optimise for a fast, safe recovery that keeps the rest of the group secure and informed.
Context you provide
- {{tour_type}} — historic house, nature walk, factory floor
- {{group_size}} — visitors with you
- {{site_layout}} — floors, exits, gardens, back areas
- {{visitor_description}} — name, age, clothing, mobility needs
- {{last_seen_location}} — where and when last spotted
- {{time_elapsed}} — minutes since noticed missing
- {{communication_tools}} — radios, phone, PA, staff
- {{emergency_contacts}} — site security, supervisor, local emergency number
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the tour type, group size, and site layout.
- List the first five minutes: stop, count, pair into buddies, note last seen location.
- Assign roles: who stays with group, who searches where, who contacts security or supervisor.
- Write a short announcement script the guide can read to the remaining group, calm and clear.
- Set escalation triggers: when to call site security, when to call local emergency services, when to pause the tour.
- Provide a reunification checklist: safe meeting point, headcount, welfare check, brief explanation.
- Add a two-line prevention note, such as a pre-tour headcount and buddy system.
Output format A numbered checklist with bold headings, bullet points, and any script in quotation marks. Keep it 300 to 500 words. Use a calm, direct tone. Leave out blame, jargon, and long theory.
Guardrails
- Do not invent site phone numbers, radio codes, or legal requirements. Use placeholders and tell the user to confirm them with the site's official emergency plan.
- Flag any assumption about the visitor's age, health, or vulnerability.
- Tell the user to check the attraction's own lost-person procedure and local regulations before acting.
Example {{tour_type}}: historic house, {{group_size}}: 18, {{site_layout}}: three floors and a garden, {{visitor_description}}: man in his 70s, blue jacket, walking stick, {{last_seen_location}}: east wing staircase, {{time_elapsed}}: 4 minutes, {{communication_tools}}: two-way radios, {{emergency_contacts}}: security desk and duty manager.
