YayOrNay Experiences help

YayOrNay Experiences are in-person activities designed to make meeting new people in your city easier. You can go on a curated Date, team up with a friend or partner for Duo to meet another Duo, or use Just Show Up to join a group of people you are likely to get along with. Crews is more self-directed, helping your friend group find other groups and arrange a meetup. For invitation-based Experiences, we handle the matching, venue, activity and reservation so you can spend less time planning and more time connecting and creating memories.

YayOrNay offers Date, Duo, Just Show Up and Crews Experiences. Date, Duo and Just Show Up require an invitation. Crews Experiences let friend groups, known as Crews, meet other groups.

Experiences are for adults aged 18 or over, or the higher age of majority where they live. Complete the checklist in our app before joining.

Complete the setup steps listed on the screen. We show exactly what is still missing.

For invitation-based Experiences, we use your location to confirm that you are at the correct venue when you check in. On the Crews map, location helps us show relevant nearby meets and limits proposals to people who are close enough to realistically attend. This keeps proposals meaningful and helps everyone plan with people who genuinely intend to show up.

Tap in the bottom navigation, then tap beside Choose Experience. Update your availability, locations, activities and dietary preferences, then select Save preferences. These preferences apply across all invitation-based Experiences. Changes affect future curation and invitations, not an Experience already in progress.

The three lights are a quick progress indicator for each Experience Mode. Their fixed positions help you understand the status without relying only on colour: the left light means waiting, the middle light means action and the right light means active.

Waiting, left light: you are enrolled and waiting for the next step. This can also mean that you accepted an invitation and the Experience is waiting for other participants.

Action, middle light: something is ready for you, such as new profiles or partnerships, an invitation or an Experience review.

Active, right light: an Experience or Crew meet is confirmed, active, happening today or in progress.

Issue, left light in red: you are enrolled, but an eligibility requirement needs attention.

All three lights dim: there is no current progress or action to highlight. Open the card for the exact status and any next step.

Date Mode helps you meet one person at a time through a curated, one-to-one YayOrNay Experience. Each week, we show profiles selected for strong compatibility and your Experience preferences. When interest is mutual, we can arrange the activity, venue, time and reservation and send both of you an invitation.

Tap in the bottom navigation, open the Date Experience Mode card and tap Count me in. Complete your Experience preferences and availability to join the weekly curation. If Date Mode is not available, the card shows which eligibility requirement is missing.

Weekly Curated Profiles are the profile cards shown at the top of the Experiences page. They refresh each week and are selected using your Experience preferences and compatibility. We only show people with high compatibility, so some weeks may have no profiles. If that happens, review your Experience preferences and check again after the next weekly refresh.

No. Date Mode describes the one-to-one Experience format. Weekly Curated Profiles align with both people's matching preferences, so a curated profile may be for romance or friendship depending on what both people are looking for.

Look at the connection symbol on the profile card. means the curated profile is for romance, while means it is for friendship.

Weekly Date curation helps us suggest compatible people around dates and times they can realistically attend. Assuming everyone is always available would lead to more invitations being declined or left unanswered. We take a more intentional approach by considering compatibility, location, activity preferences and schedules together. When approval is mutual, the venue, activity, time and reservation are already arranged, so you do not need to plan the date yourself.

No. Approving someone from Weekly Curated Profiles does not notify them. They will only know once a Date Experience invitation is sent out.

Review your Experience preferences and availability to make sure they still reflect what you want. Answering more Yay-or-Nay questions gives us more ways to compare compatibility and can improve the chance of finding suitable profiles for a future weekly release.

We create a Date invitation after both people approve each other and the Experience details are ready.

Just Show Up is a social YayOrNay Experience for meeting new people in a group of 4 to 6. We bring together people who are likely to get along and arrange the activity, venue, time and reservation so you can spend less time planning and simply just show up.

Tap in the bottom navigation, open the Just Show Up Experience Mode card and tap Count me in. Complete your Experience preferences and availability to join the list. We will look for a suitable group and plan.

We consider compatibility alongside overlapping availability, location and activity preferences. Answering more Yay-or-Nay questions gives us more to compare and can help us create a group of people who are likely to get along.

No. Just Show Up is designed for meeting a curated group of new people, and places are offered to selected participants individually. If you want to attend with one person you already know, form a Duo for a Duo Experience, where you meet another Duo. If you want to make plans as an existing friend group, create a Crew. Your Crew can publish a meet that nearby Crews can find and propose to join.

Yes. Other participants' names, photos and profiles stay hidden before and during a Just Show Up Experience, including in the Experience chat. After the Experience ends and moves to review, participant details are revealed so you can identify the people you met and leave feedback.

There is no fixed waiting time. It depends on finding enough eligible people with compatible answers and overlapping preferences, together with a suitable venue and time. Keep your preferences and availability current while you are on the list.

We send each selected participant an invitation with the plan. Review the details, accept and complete any required payment before the invitation expires. The Experience is confirmed once the minimum required number of participants have accepted.

Your friend joins through the Duo invitation link you share. When they open the link in YayOrNay, the app takes them to Experiences and adds them to your Duo if the invitation is still valid.
