HOW IT WORKS
From walking in to walking out with a new friend — here's the full SIDEQ flow.
Open the Live Vibe Map to see what's happening right now. Browse real-time vibe ratings and check how many people are at each venue. Tap into any venue's chat to see what the crowd is saying — people chatting from inside the geofence get a verified badge next to their name, so you know the intel is coming from someone actually there.
LIVE MAP
Walk into a participating venue and SIDEQ detects you automatically. An ice crystal appears on screen — this is your entry point. The venue is now your playground.
YOU'RE IN
THE BUNKER
TAP TO BREAK THE ICE
Tap the crystal to shatter it — each tap adds cracks, pixel bursts, and glitch effects. On the final tap it explodes in a shower of shards. This is your check-in ritual. It's satisfying. It's loud. It primes you for what's next.
💥 SHATTER!
2 TAPS REMAINING
After shattering, rate how the venue feels right now: 🔥 Hot, 😎 Vibing, or 🥶 Dead. Your rating feeds the Live Vibe Map in real-time and earns you 50 coins. Re-rate every 30 minutes as the night evolves.
RATE THE VIBE
🪙 +50 coins
This is your home base while you're at the venue. Launch a Meet Someone New quest, play mini-games like Venue Trivia or Spin the Wheel, check the leaderboard, or re-rate the vibe. Everything earns coins.
