📍 Get on the Map
If you’re handing out sweets or decorating your house, add your stop to the map! Not only does it help trick-or-treaters plan their night, it spreads community spirit. Add photos, accessibility info, and a note if you’ve got non-candy treats or something special planned.
Tip: Getting on the map early encourages others near you to do the same, making it more fun for all the kids in your area.
📢 Share the Map
Sharing the map with family, friends, and neighbours helps make Halloween night more magical for everyone. Whether it's your school group, WhatsApp chat, or the local Facebook page — spread the word!
🗺️ Plan Your Route
Skip the aimless wandering. Use the map to plan a route that hits the most decorated houses, safest streets, or areas with the biggest buzz. Look for clusters of stops and filter by type if you're after a certain vibe or specific features.

🧭 Use Your Radius Wisely
Free users can explore within a 1-mile radius, while premium users can unlock up to 10 miles. Use that power wisely! Check your own neighbourhood, Gran’s street, your friend’s cul-de-sac — or even map a route near your Halloween party spot.
❤️ Save Your Faves
See a house you don’t want to miss? Tap the heart icon to save it. This makes it easy to find your favourite stops later — especially helpful when you’ve got kids in tow. Premium users can filter to show only their saved favourites too.
🔦 Stay Safe
Use the map to stick to well-lit areas and familiar streets. Many stops include accessibility info or family-friendly notes, so you can trick-or-treat with confidence. If you spot anything unusual while out and about, flag it on the map so other users stay informed.
