Nobody should leave your event having lost someone

Event Mode gives your gathering its own private room in noknokk. People find the crew they came with on a map only their crew can see — and the stranger they danced with on Tuesday becomes someone they can actually find again afterwards.

Free for attendees. No location data handed to organisers, promoters or sponsors.

Event Mode in 37 seconds — with narration and captions.

What attendees get

Four things, all built on the same rule: nothing is shared until two people have each said yes.

Find your crew, not strangers

Add the people you came with. Nothing is shared until they add you back — then each of you appears on a map of the event, and only there.

Two switches, both yours

Share my location and be findable by name are separate, reversible and off by default. Turn one off and the stored position is deleted immediately.

The stranger you met at 9pm

The room quietly records that two people were near each other — Tuesday, 9pm, 40 minutes. No name, no photo. Afterwards either can ask to connect.

Identity only after two yeses

A connection request reveals names and opens messaging only when both people accept. Decline and the moment disappears for both of you.

Why organisers say yes

01

Nothing for you to build or host

You don't run a server, a map or a database. Attendees download noknokk, join your room and the room closes shortly after the event ends.

02

You never hold attendee location data

Positions are consent-based, approximate, single-point and deleted on the way out. Organisers, promoters and sponsors are never given or sold them.

03

A reason to open the app all weekend

Lost-friend panic is the most common moment at a large event. Solving it puts your room in front of the crowd every day they're on site.

04

Your programme, on the same screen

A room carries your event name, dates and location, and can point to your own site, map or welcome guide.

How a room runs

Before

We open a room with your name, dates and location, and you share it in your comms, app, guide or signage.

During

People join, add their crew both ways, and switch sharing on when they want to be found. Moments near other members are logged privately.

After

Positions are deleted, the room closes, and anyone can ask to connect with a person they were near — identity revealed only on mutual acceptance.

Privacy is the product, not the disclaimer

Consent is separate for joining, sharing a position and being findable, and revocable at any time. Positions are approximate, stored as a single current point with no history, scoped to one event and deleted shortly after it ends — never sold, never given to organisers or advertisers. It is enforced twice: in our own checks and again in the database itself.
