Bente: Meet People IRL

Bente is the social utility for going out, discovering what is happening nearby, and meeting people in real life. Open the map, find the energy, choose your intent, and turn “we should hang out” into an actual plan. Whether you are looking for friendship, romance, a creative collaborator, a fun night out, or something unexpected, Bente helps you connect around real places and shared experiences. EXPLORE YOUR CITY IN 3D See supported cities come alive through an interactive 3D map. Discover nearby Hotspots, venue activity, people, routes, and places worth checking out. Prefer a familiar view? Bente Classic gives you a streamlined 2D map too. CHECK IN TO THE REAL WORLD Check in when you arrive at a Hotspot, see who else is active nearby, build your streak, and earn Bente Bucks. Every check-in makes your night more discoverable and gives you a new reason to explore. MEET PEOPLE FOR YOUR KIND OF CONNECTION Set your intent for friendship, flirtation, romance, collaboration, or wildcard discovery. Compatibility preferences help surface people who fit what you are looking for—without losing the spontaneity of meeting someone new. MAKE THE FIRST MOVE Send and respond to match requests, use Insta-Match to discover eligible people nearby, chat with confirmed connections, and use Meet Halfway to coordinate at a suggested Hotspot. Bente is designed to move connections from the screen into real life. CREATE YOUR AVATAR. OWN YOUR STYLE. Build and customize your avatar, collect clothing and accessories, style your profile with frames and themes, and show up on the map with a look that feels like you. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Create or discover public, place-based groups built around shared interests and local communities. Request to join, chat with members, plan meetups, follow leader announcements, climb community leaderboards, and unlock eligible group offers from participating venues. DISCOVER EVENTS AND MAKE PLANS Browse available local events, mark Going or Interested, invite friends and matches, coordinate who you are going with, and manage eligible event tickets and entry QR codes—all from Bente. BREAK THE ICE BY PLAYING Turn awkward introductions into shared moments with intent-based Icebreakers and Match Quest. On compatible devices, Vibe Hunt transforms nearby venues into a multiplayer, location-based AR adventure. EARN, COLLECT, AND UNLOCK Complete missions, maintain check-in streaks, earn Bente Bucks, collect Vibes, unlock avatar items, and build a profile that reflects where you have been and what you have done. MORE TO DO AT PARTICIPATING VENUES Where available, Bente can help you reserve, pay at the table, discover venue offers, claim group deals, or purchase eligible gift cards—so more of your night can happen in one place. BUILT FOR SAFER REAL-WORLD CONNECTIONS Bente is for adults 18+. Identity and selfie verification, blocking, reporting, discovery preferences, device-session controls, account deletion, and privacy/data tools help you stay in control of how you connect. Real people. Real places. Real plans. Download Bente, step outside, and see where the night takes you. Feature availability varies by city, venue, device, permissions, and account eligibility.
