Be Among the First to Shape The Platform
We made a digital third space where every day turns into real support for community, culture, and collective wellness. The game is easy: participate in online and offline challenges, conversations, and activities that earn points to unlock real-world perks and prizes—discounts, event access, or special giveaways that celebrate culture, community, and impact.
You’re invited to join the beta program if you live in New York City and share the vision of a stronger, cleaner, and greener cityscape. You’ll get early access to test the platform, complete challenges, and share feedback that helps shape the experience for the entire community. As the platform grows, so will the opportunities to get involved—through exclusive rewards, affiliate programs, and new ways to demonstrate what’s possible when New Yorkers move together in collective action.
How Can Our Online World Serve To Make the Actual One A Better Place?
That's the question we asked ourselves when we set out to build this platform. We searched far and wide for ways to turn every day into an opportunity to support local businesses, communities and initiatives that foster growth and well-being for residents of New York City. That's how we came to create this gamified experience that rewards you for participating in real, tangible ways.Â
