The part where you have second thoughts.

"I'm not going to the cinema with a stranger."

The host decides who comes.

Nobody gets in without the host's yes, and only people the host accepted can see the meeting point. A host can keep a party women only or men only. You can block anyone, and when you report someone, our team reads it. Joining or hosting needs a verified email.

Creating a party: how many people, who can ask to join, and a meeting point
"Nobody near me would be on this."

It has schedules for 69 cities.

Showtimes come from 267 cinemas. In a smaller city there may be no one hosting yet, so the first party there could be yours.

"Meeting for the first time sounds awkward."

Say hi before the day.

Once the host lets you in, the party has its own chat. Work out where to meet, or talk about the film.

A party chat with messages from the host and guests
"We'll never find each other in the lobby."

The host scans you in.

The meeting point is on the party page. At the cinema, show the host your QR code and they'll know you've arrived.
