New in town?
Make friends here.

Moved here or just passing through, Yoopzi puts you in small groups and real plans nearby, around things you already love. Or at a dinner with five strangers, every week. Not a dating app.

We’ll only email you about Yoopzi. Privacy

Friendship takes time together. Yoopzi gives you small groups that meet again and again, so the hours add up.

Start wherever you like.

Join a Circle, jump into a Plan, host your own, or save a seat at a Night. Every way in ends at the same place: people you’ll want to see again.

  • Join a Circle

    Groups for what you’re into, with a different name in each if you like.

  • Join a Plan

    Small meetups near you this week. One tap and you have a ticket.

  • Host a Plan

    Got an idea? A walk, a picnic, a game night. Post it and people nearby can join.

  • Save a seat at a Night

    Dinner with five strangers every week, matched by a few light questions.

  1. 1

    Meet in real life

    Small groups in public places you can look up. At a Night, you check in with a tap and a deck of question cards keeps the table talking.

    Stay in touch

    Every Plan has a group chat. After a Night, only people who pick each other are connected.

    See Plans near you tonight: food walks, sunrise hikes, game nights.

A few things you might wonder.

When does Yoopzi launch?

Very soon, on iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the day it opens. Cities with the most people on the list open first.

Can I try Yoopzi before launch?

Yes. Tick “I want to try it early” when you join the waitlist and we’ll invite a small group of early testers before launch, city by city.

Where will Yoopzi be available?

Yoopzi is built for cities everywhere, and for travelling between them. Plans, Circles and postcards work wherever you are; Yoopzi Nights open city by city.

Do I have to use my real name?

No. Pick a name and a look you’re happy with. In Circles you can even use a different name for each one.

How do Yoopzi Nights work?

Save a seat for this week’s Night, answer six light questions, and we seat you at a table of six at a great local place. The place is revealed on the day. Everyone pays for their own order.

Is Yoopzi safe?

Yoopzi is built for the first hello: small groups, public places, women-only tables, a name you choose, and report or block in a tap. Your exact location is never shown to strangers.

I run a restaurant. How do I host?

Tell us about your place on the venues page. There’s no app, no contract and no commission on the bill.
