The Explore pages help you find places and people to play with. Anyone can use them without an account. You find them under Explore in the main menu. Only publicly listed events and communities show up here.

​
Near you

Near you is the main Explore page. It searches and filters events and communities together, on one map, with one set of filters.
Near you replaces the separate Events and Communities pages, which will be removed eventually. Until then, they stay in the menu.
  • Type a city or address in Search a city or address, or move the map.
  • Under Filters, pick When, with shortcuts such as Today, This weekend or Next 30 days, and the Event Types and Community Types to show. None picked shows every kind.
  • Below the map, the results are listed under Events and Communities. Found nothing? Select Look a month ahead.
When you are signed in, the page also shows Your Events, and Recommended events: events your friends and communities are part of.

​
Map and list

All three pages show results on a map or as a list. Use Map View and List View to switch. The map opens around your region. Pan and zoom to look somewhere else, then select Search this area to load results for the part of the map you are looking at. The button appears when the map has moved away from the loaded results, or when there were more results than fit on the map. When you switch from the map to the list, the list only shows results inside the area you were looking at.
On your phone, the filters are behind the Filter button. Select Apply Filters to close them.

​
Explore events

Filter events by:
  • Date Range: pick a From and To date, or use Today, Weekend or Upcoming.
  • Event Types: the kind of event, such as a game night or a convention.

Select Clear All to reset the filters. When you are signed in, Your Events at the top shows events you are hosting, invited to or have responded to. Switch between List and Calendar, open the Archive for past events, or select Create to host your own. See Events.

​
