Everything you need to know before you start exploring.
100% free to download and use. No hidden fees, no subscriptions, no tricks. Explore unlimited spots, earn XP, unlock badges, and compete on leaderboards—all completely free. We make money through business partnerships, not you.
We're currently live across select Canadian cities, with new locations launching regularly as we expand nationwide. If your city isn't live yet, you can request it — we're growing one great location at a time.
You must be within 100 meters (about 300 feet) of a spot to check in. Our app uses your phone's GPS to verify your location in real-time. This ensures every check-in is authentic—no fake check-ins from home!
Absolutely! Request new spots directly in the app. Our team reviews every submission to ensure quality. If you own a business, you can claim locations and access analytics through our Business Panel.
You control everything. Toggle your Community Wall visibility, hide from leaderboards, and choose what's public. We never sell your data. Your location is only used for check-in verification, never tracked otherwise.
Yes, for check-ins and community features. The app needs internet to verify your location, upload photos, and sync your XP/badges. You can browse the map offline, but check-ins require connection.
XP (Experience Points) are earned from check-ins. Every 1,000 XP = 1 level. Check in at spots to earn XP, level up with epic celebrations, and climb the leaderboard. It's just like leveling up in a video game!
Badges unlock automatically when you hit milestones—total check-ins, XP thresholds, city exploration, and more. There are 50+ badges to collect. Track your progress in the Badges tab and see what you need to unlock next.
