Events

Events are lives at a set time and meetups in person: bar nights, munches, coffee. Members host them, and so does CageCheck.

Find events

Open Events: in More on your phone, or in the menu on the left on a computer.

• Upcoming: everything coming up that you can see. CageCheck events come first, then the rest by date.
  • All, 🔴 Lives or 📍 In person narrows the list.
  • Type a city in City or area to find meetups near you.
• Going: events you're going to, interested in, or asked to come to, including any that were cancelled.
• Hosting: events you host.
• Past: events that are over.

You also hear when someone you follow hosts an event, and it can show in the feed.

Who can see an event

The host chooses All members or Followers. A followers-only event is only for people who follow the host (or who already answered it). You never see events from people you've blocked, or who have blocked you.

A host can also share a live event publicly, with a link anyone can open, even without an account. Its page shows Share it anywhere, with the link and buttons to post it on X, Facebook or Bluesky.

When and where

• Lives show in your own time.
• In person events show in the time where they happen, with its time zone if it's different from yours.
• In person, the area (a city or neighborhood) is shown to everyone who can see the event.
• The exact place (venue and address) is usually only for people going. You see 🔒 The exact place shows once you say you're going until then. Some hosts show it to everyone.

Going or interested

On the event's page:

• Tap Going. If the host approves who comes, the button says Ask to come: your request goes to the host, and you see the place once they approve you. If you're declined, you can't ask again for that event.
• Tap Interested if you might come. You get the reminders, but not the exact place.
• Tap your answer again to take it off your events.

When there are only so many places, the page shows how many are left, and Full when there are none. Being Interested doesn't take a place.

Reminders

Going or interested, you get a reminder the day before and an hour before. If the host changes the time or the place, or cancels, you're told straight away.

The day-before reminder and any change can also come by email. Turn those off in Settings under Email, Events (see Email preferences).

📅 Add to calendar downloads the event for your phone's or computer's calendar.

Who's going

The host sees everyone who answered. People going see who else is going. Everyone else just sees how many.

A live event

When it starts, the host goes live from the event page. You get a notification, and ● Watch the live appears on the event page. See Watch a live.

Lives for an event take questions: tap Questions to ask the host something or vote for other people's questions. See Questions in a live.

Stay safe in person

• Meet somewhere public, and tell someone you trust where you'll be.
• You don't have to share more than you want to. Your name on CageCheck is enough.
• If an event or its host seems wrong, report it: tap ••• next to the host on the event page, then 🚩 Report. Moderators can take events down.
