Visitors to large buildings such as hospitals, malls, campuses, hotels and exhibition venues often cannot find their destination and interrupt staff to ask. This note describes Areyos, a wayfinding approach that avoids live indoor positioning. A QR code on a wall identifies a known location; scanning it opens a web page (no app) with ordered step-by-step directions to a destination the visitor chooses, and the visitor confirms each step. The note covers the problem, the design, its deliberate limitations, and a planned pilot evaluation. The system is a working prototype; no deployment results are reported and no claim about effectiveness is made. Not peer reviewed.
