What's in Bingo
Bingo blends proximity-based discovery, a real-world game card, and emergent place-based threads — so meeting someone feels earned, not algorithmic.
See who's nearby — only if they want to see you back. Match radius is symmetric, so no one zooms out to watch you.
A 5×5 card of interests you don't have yet. Meet someone who does, capture a BingoMemory, mark the square.
When enough people tag a place, it becomes a HotSpot — a real-world thread you can only post in if you're there.
The promise
Discovery products usually treat safety as a setting to find later. Bingo treats it as the default — every visibility rule is symmetric, every disclosure is opt-in, every uncertain check fails closed.
If you can see them, they can see you. No one zooms out a DiscoveryRadius to watch you while staying hidden.
Set a 500m circle around home and disappear inside it. To everyone else, you simply appear offline.
Some tags are nobody's business. Mark them private and they only render to viewers who also hold them — fail-closed at the data layer.
If a tag is age-restricted, a third-party check confirms a date of birth. Bingo never stores your ID document. Only the DOB comes back.
For UC Irvine, by Group 10.
