DinoRoam is a playful city companion for finding something worth doing. EXPLORE LIVE CITY FINDS Browse fresh San Francisco events and activities, search by what sounds good, and refine by date, area, price, or mood. Open a find to see useful details and continue to its original event source when available. STAR A PLAN Star events without creating an account. Your Saved view keeps plans easy to revisit, and signed-in users can sync supported account state across devices. ASK MOCHI Tell Mochi what kind of outing you want—quiet, lively, nearby, spontaneous, or specific—and get ideas from the current event feed. Lightweight feedback helps DinoRoam learn what fits. GROW YOUR DINO Meaningful actions such as a first save, useful preference feedback, a weekly return, and an activated friend invitation add visible Dino progress. Reward records are issued by DinoRoam's server, and optional walking totals remain private on your device. SHARE SOMETHING WORTH SHARING Send an event with a useful web link, or create a personalized Dino card for Stories, feeds, and messages. First-time recipients can open the web experience without registering first. OPTIONAL DINO SURPRISES Starring a plan can lead to a little extra discovery. Signed-in users may explicitly enable People suggestions, choose which interests to share, and discover others interested in the same upcoming event. Both people must accept before a private human conversation opens. Starring alone never opts you in. Pause suggestions or block/report unwanted contact. There is no nearby-user browser or public social room. Accounts are optional for browsing and device-local saves. Location, notifications, microphone, speech, motion, and Apple Health permissions are optional; core browsing and manual input remain available when they are declined. Event information can change, so always check the original event source before traveling or purchasing a ticket.
