Can't decide what to do? Let a game show decide for you. stuff2do turns finding local activities into a 50-second bracket tournament. Swipe through blind descriptions of things to do near you: restaurants, hikes, date spots, and more. Watch them compete head-to-head until one winner emerges. No more scrolling through endless reviews. No more group text arguments about where to go. Just fast, fun, gut-based decisions. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a category: Feed Me, Date Night, Get Weird, Touch Grass, Big Brain, or Night Moves. 2. Ten nearby activities appear as swipe cards, each with a one-line description that sells you on the vibe without revealing the name. 3. Swipe right if you're in. Swipe left if you're not. You have 5 seconds per card. 4. Too many favorites? The bracket narrows. New descriptions. New angles. Same places. 5. In 50 seconds, one winner emerges. Scratch off the card to reveal it. 6. See the name, photos, rating, and directions. Go do it. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Can't agree on where to go? Host a Group Session. Share a 5-character code. Everyone swipes the same 10 cards. The group's votes pick the winner. Friday night plans: sorted in under a minute. YOUR GUT ALREADY KNOWS Every card shows a single punchy description. Not the place name, not a star rating, not a photo. You pick based on pure instinct. After the game, you get a Gut Score (0-100) based on how fast you decided. Speed reactions fire on fast swipes: LIGHTNING, GUT INSTINCT, ZERO HESITATION. SIX WAYS TO PLAY Feed Me: Your next favorite meal is one swipe away Get Weird: Spots you'll tell everyone about Touch Grass: Fresh air, good views, phone on silent Big Brain: Feed your brain, not your screen time Night Moves: Where tonight gets interesting (unlocks at 4 PM) Date Night: Spots that make you look like a genius PERFECT FOR - Friday night with friends.
