thirdspace is where your existing friend group goes to have MORE FUN, together. You know that random Tuesday urge to get boba? The "someone come watch this sunset with me right now" moment? The "I just found the weirdest thrift store, get over here" energy? Those are sidequests. And thirdspace is built for exactly that. We made this app because we were tired of the same group chat cycle. Someone says "we should hang out," everyone says "definitely," and then nobody does anything for three weeks. thirdspace kills that cycle in two minutes flat. HOW SIDEQUESTS WORK 1. Start a Sidequest Snap a pic of whatever caught your attention, type what you're doing, and send it out. Could be anything. A spontaneous coffee run. A walk to nowhere. Finding the best taco within walking distance. Your nearby friends get notified instantly. 2. The 2-Minute Window Your friends have 2 minutes to join the sidequest. That's it. No "let me check my schedule." No "maybe later." You're either locking in or missing the moment. This timer exists because the best hangouts are the ones nobody overthinks. 3. Location Reveal Your location stays completely hidden until a friend accepts. Once they're in, maps unlock for both of you, and you're on your way to actually meeting up. Safety first, always. 4. Capture the Moment When you link up, take a pic together. No filters. No posing for 20 minutes. Just proof that you actually left the house and did something with your friends. Share it with your circle or post it publicly. Your Sidequest Log: Every hangout gets saved to your personal Memories. Scroll back through all the spontaneous coffee runs, the chaotic midnight drives, the "why did we walk here" adventures. A whole timeline of times you actually showed up for your friends. WHY YOUR FRIEND GROUP NEEDS THIS The 2-minute timer makes flaking basically impossible. You're in or you're not. No more "I'll let you know" texts that go nowhere. Locations stay private until someone commits. Your friends only see where you are after they accept the sidequest. This isn't another app for watching people live their lives through a screen. thirdspace is for people who want to be in the room, on the curb, at the spot. The whole point is to get you and your friends outside, doing things together in real life. Whether its your close friends or someone new in the group, the best connections happen when you stop scrolling and start showing up. thirdspace. stop scrolling. start questing.

About

Friendly Challenges & Forfeits

Features
Read full description

The friendly challenge between friends, without a penny at stake. Claiming something? Throw down the challenge. What's at stake is never money: it's a forfeit, agreed between you. A coffee, a round, a chore. Whatever you like. HOW IT WORKS • You throw down a challenge: what you claim, against whom, and the forfeit at stake • Your opponent accepts — or declines, nothing is imposed • At the deadline, you announce the result • A photo or video proof to close the argument • Not convinced? They can dispute, once WHAT KEEPS IT HONEST An announced result can be corrected for five minutes, then it is frozen. Nobody turns a loss into a win three days later. Your opponent can dispute once, and only once. You keep your result or you correct it — but pestering isn't an option. A finished challenge can no longer be deleted: it counts towards both players' records. YOUR RECORD Wins, losses, running streaks, head-to-head with each friend, a leaderboard between mates and badges to unlock. It all adds up on its own. YOUR FRIENDS, AND NOBODY ELSE You join by code or by QR. A challenge is visible only to the people in it. You choose who can challenge you, and you can block or report at any time. PREMIUM Unlimited challenges, full history, ready-made challenge ideas, advanced stats, themes and exclusive badges. The heart of the game stays free. NO REAL MONEY No stakes, no winnings, no transaction between players — ever. The forfeit is settled between you, in real life. Available in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
