SideQuestr — the map powered by your group chat. Your friends know where the good stuff is. The hidden rooftop bar, the park with the best sunset, the coffee shop you actually want to stay at. That knowledge is trapped in old text threads and disappearing stories. SideQuestr is where it lives — your group's pocket playbook. BUILT FOR "WHAT ARE WE DOING TONIGHT" Someone floats the question at 7pm. Forty minutes of debating later, you're still on the couch. SideQuestr collapses that into three taps — see what friends are up to, vote, commit, go. THE CORE • A friend-first map. Your city populated by your crew's favorite places. Every pin shows who dropped it. • Live events happening right now. Shows, pop-ups, markets, nightlife — all tagged with a LIVE badge. • Private uploads for your inner circle. Drop a pin as private and only your close friends see it. The speakeasy, the hidden beach, the quiet coffee shop. Your secrets stay yours. • See who's visited. Every spot shows the friend who dropped it and who's been since. "Jake went last week and loved it" beats any 4.3-star rating. • Commit and go. One tap locks in the plan. No more vague "maybe we'll end up there." • Find your people in seconds. Instagram-style contacts matching — no username gymnastics. WHO IT'S FOR Not travel influencers. Not foodies with tripod setups. SideQuestr is for you and your 3-6 closest friends, the group text that's been going for years. Find or create a spot and share it with your friends on SideQuestr - your friends playbook.
