No more "where are you?"

The end of the group chat scavenger hunt

Screenshots of maps, dropped pins in five different apps, "we moved, come to the other place". One Live Pin replaces all of it — and it updates itself.

How it works

Three taps, and the crew is on the way

Drop your pin

Tap the map where the party is. Add a vibe, pick Public or Friends Only, and it's live.

Friends see it live

Your pin shows up on the map in real time and your friends get a push notification.

Everyone lands in the chat

Tapping the pin opens its group chat — directions, updates and who's coming, all in one place.

📍 Pin chat

Every pin brings its own group chat

No new group to create, no one left out of the thread. Whoever taps into the pin joins the conversation — share the door code, post a photo, or shout that you're moving on to the next spot.

The chat lives and dies with the pin, so your phone isn't left with a graveyard of dead group chats the next morning.

🛰️ Live mode

Static spot, or a pin that follows you

Leave the pin on one address, or switch on Live mode and it follows your GPS as the night moves — bar, club, afterparty. Friends never chase an outdated location.

  • Public or Friends Only, your call every time
  • Active for 4 hours, or delete it the second you're done
  • Works anywhere on earth, not just where we have event data

Good to know

Live Pin questions

What is a Live Pin?

A Live Pin is a real-time pin you drop on the Party Compass map to show where the party is. Friends see it live, tap it to join, and land straight in the pin's group chat.

How long does a Live Pin last?

Four hours — long enough for a night out, short enough that the map never fills up with yesterday. You can delete your pin manually at any time.

Can I control who sees my Live Pin?

Yes. Set the pin to Public so anyone nearby can find it, or Friends Only to keep it inside your circle. You can remove the pin whenever you want.

Does a Live Pin follow my GPS location?

Only if you want it to. Turn on Live mode and the pin follows your GPS as you move between venues, or leave it static on one spot.

How do I chat with people who joined my pin?

Every Live Pin comes with its own group chat. Anyone who taps into the pin joins the conversation, so you can share directions and see who is on the way.

Do Live Pins work outside Hamburg?

Yes. Live event data is built in for Hamburg, Berlin, Köln, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Wien, but you can drop a Live Pin anywhere in the world.

Your pin is one tap away.

Get Party Compass, drop a Live Pin, and let the night come to you.
