Full description

Make friends nearby and meet people in real life. MapChat Social is a live map of bars, events and things to do near you tonight, and who's already there. Check in, wave at someone, and if they wave back a chat opens. Then go say hi in person. No endless feed. No swiping. Just a reason to go out and people to go out with. MEET NEW PEOPLE NEARBY Check in when you want to be seen. You show up at a venue only when you choose to check in, and you can hide anytime. Wave to break the ice. A wave is a low-pressure hello. Chats open only when it's mutual, so nobody gets cold-messaged. Play games with the room. 14 games you play with the people around you, including Who Wants to Be a Butterfly, Imprompto, Emoji Off, Pair Play, trivia, poker and spades. A new live game every day. FIND EVENTS AND THINGS TO DO NEAR YOU A live map of bars, restaurants, venues and local events, with live headcounts so you know who's there before you commit. Filter by happy hour, live music, karaoke, trivia, dog-friendly patios, dance floors and more. No fake reviews, no star ratings, no pay-to-play rankings. Just what each place is actually like, checked by real people. MAKE PLANS AND MEET UP Bar crawls, trivia nights, themed nights, spontaneous meetups. Join one or start your own and pack the bar. MAKE FRIENDS IN A NEW CITY Your city is full of people you'd love. You just haven't met them yet. New in town? Just moved to LA, DC, Boston or New York? Finished college and discovered that making friends as an adult is weirdly hard? MapChat is a friend finder for people who want to meet new people and make their city feel like theirs. PRIVACY FIRST Your exact location is never shown to strangers. You appear only at venues you check in to, only while you want to. Block or hide anyone at any time. We use your location to help you find things nearby, not to track you or sell your data. NOW LIVE IN Los Angeles, Washington DC, Boston and New York City, with more cities on the way. Request yours in the app. WHY WE BUILT THIS Loneliness is the defining problem of our generation, and the apps built to connect us mostly made it worse. Every other social app wants more of your attention. We want less of it. MapChat wins when you close the app because you're busy being with people. Make friends. Meet people nearby. Find things to do tonight. Come out and play.

What's new

A daily trivia game, "Who Wants to Be a Butterfly?", to give you more reasons to come back to MapChat and explore what's on and who's out there. Come out and Play!
