How it works
See Bucket ListOpen Spot to see nearby events and live activations from partner venues, creators, and student orgs.
Head to the venue and check in. Presence is verified in the background, so your progress feels earned.
Say hi to new groups, react to posts, and join mini-quests. Quality > spam—keep it real.
Unlock badges, build your Social IQ, and join streaks for consistent attendance and good vibes.
Verified check-ins
Spot confirms that you’re within a venue’s geofence during an event window. No spamming location—just enough to keep progress fair.
- Low-power geofences and time windows
- No public location sharing by default
- Private events and invites remain private
Privacy by design
You control app permissions at any time. We only use minimal signals to confirm presence; you choose what to share.
Progression & rewards
As you show up and engage, you’ll unlock badges, maintain streaks, and build your Social IQ. These reflect consistency and positive behavior—not spam.
