Collect Experiences.
Not Coupons.
Check into local businesses, earn XP, unlock city badges, and become a Local Legend. Portland's game for people who love their city.
How It Works
Three steps to legendary.
Check In
Visit any participating local business and check in with the app. Coffee shops, breweries, record stores, bookstores, tattoo studios — every independent spot on the map.
Earn & Collect
Unlock XP, city badges, digital collectibles, and limited enamel pins. Every spot has a collectible. Finish a quest and you unlock the rare set.
Become a Legend
Climb the city leaderboard, complete monthly quests, and unlock VIP experiences. "I just finished every coffee shop in Portland." That's a flex.
