Create and share Adventures ADVENTURES WITH THE RIGHT FELLOWS Zonzers is the app that lets you create experiences and live them with people who match your vibe—whatever your idea of Adventure is. CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE On the app, you can create an Adventure independently: choose the activity, describe the experience, and specify the kind of companions you're looking for. Once it’s published, people can send participation requests. You decide who joins your group. JOIN OTHERS Prefer to hop into something already planned? Explore Adventures created by others, check profiles, and send all the requests you want. A PROFILE MADE OF EXPERIENCES, NOT APPEARANCES Your profile on Zonzers showcases the Adventures you’ve lived, your favorite activities, your skills (things you’re good at—like lighting a fire or sleeping in airports). For every Adventure, you can see the profile of the Creator and the participants to understand whether you're on the same wavelength. GUIDES & TOUR LEADERS If you're a Guide, Tour Leader, or Sport Instructor, you can upload your certifications and propose your activities and trips to the community. ROCK & MATES Here, there are no likes—there are rocks! At the end of each Adventure, you can give a rock to your fellows: it means “I’d go on another Adventure with you.” If they rock you back, you can become Mates. Not followers or virtual friends, but people who truly shared something together. CUSTOM NOTIFICATIONS Want to know when an Adventure perfect for you is created, when your Mates join something, or when your Adventure receives Boosts or comments? Set your notifications however you like and receive only what really matters to you. DISCOVER WHO’S NEAR YOU Use the map to filter by age, favorite activities, gender, and find people to share Adventures with in your area. COLLECT MUSHROOMS By using the app, you earn Mushrooms, which you can use to get the Supporter subscription and unlock all extra features to fully enjoy the Zonzers experience. A GROWING COMMUNITY We’re already over 70,000. Follow us on Instagram @wearezonzers to see the best Adventures created on Zonzers and discover the stories of the people behind them. WHATEVER YOUR IDEA OF ADVENTURE IS On Zonzers you can propose any type of experience: via ferratas, surfing, climbing, snowboarding—but also hikes, yoga, picnics, festivals, short or long trips. Our algorithm helps you find people who share your interests. For any information, write to us at info@zonzers.com or send us a DM on Instagram @wearezonzers

The Red Thread

Read full description

Turn "we should do that sometime" into something you actually did. The Red Thread is the shared bucket list app for friends, couples and groups. Collect things to do together, get date ideas and activity ideas in seconds, and keep every outing as a memory. Less group chat, more real plans. THREADS: YOUR SHARED BUCKET LIST Create a bucket list for a trip, for date nights, for your friend group or just for yourself. Invite people, add activities, set a date and see who's coming. One shared list instead of ideas lost in the group chat. SPARK: AI IDEAS FOR WHAT TO DO Don't know what to do tonight? Tell Spark who you're with (solo, friends, family or a date), where you want to go (nearby, somewhere else or at home) and your vibe: chill, creative, sport, hike, restaurant, concert, exhibition, travel and more. Spark suggests an activity in seconds, with real places when you're going out. Like it? Add it to a thread. QUESTS: WEEKLY SIDE QUESTS IN REAL LIFE Get new real-life side quests every week. Play at your own pace in Chill mode, or create a group and switch to Challenge mode: send proof of each quest, earn points, climb the live leaderboard and use boosts on your rivals. MOVIES: SHARED WATCHLISTS Build a film watchlist with friends or your partner. Everyone adds films, everyone votes, and movie night starts with a film instead of a debate. MEMORIES: KEEP WHAT YOU DID Finish an activity, take a photo, and it joins your Memories. Look back on everything you've done on a timeline, or thread by thread. MADE FOR • Couples looking for date night ideas and a couple bucket list • Friends looking for things to do at the weekend • Groups who want side quests and friendly challenges • Anyone tired of plans that never happen Free to download. Includes ads and optional in-app purchases. Available in English, French, Spanish and Italian.
