Find your people. In real life.
ThirdSpot connects identity-verified, 21-and-over members with recurring, in-person activities hosted by verified local businesses — coffee shops, game stores, studios, and more. Not a dating app. Not a stranger-danger meetup board. A trusted place to become a regular.
Home. Work. And the place in between.
Sociologists call it a "third place": somewhere outside home and work where people gather often enough to become familiar faces to each other. Adult friendship is hard to build without one — most adult social plans depend on someone else organizing them. ThirdSpot exists to be that place, on a recurring schedule, at businesses that actually want you to keep coming back.
Verify once
Government ID, age, and a background screening — done once, so every event afterward is just showing up.
Find your recurring thing
Weekly trivia, a monthly book club, tabletop nights — browse by interest, day, and neighborhood.
Show up, scan in, become a regular
A QR ticket gets you in the door. Come back enough and the business — and the people — start to know you.
$25/month, cancel anytime
One membership, every verified business's recurring activities. Verified veterans and first responders pay $20/month and half off the activation fee.
- Identity- and age-verified community, 21+
- Background-screened for safety
- $5 back for every event you actually attend
- Member discounts at hosting businesses
Bring in regulars, not one-time visitors
Verified businesses publish their own recurring events — trivia, tastings, tabletop nights, classes — directly, with no per-event approval once you're set up.
- You control the activity, we handle registration
- Verified-business badges build trust instantly
- Objective reputation metrics, not star-rating drama
- $200/month, cancel anytime
Real identities, verified businesses, human review where it matters.
Identity verification
Government-ID scan, liveness check, and 21+ age verification before anyone can register for an event.
Background screening
Every member is screened before approval and rescreened annually, with a legally-reviewed process for any flagged result.
Verified businesses only
Every hosting business is identity- and registration-verified, insured, and reviewed before it can publish an event.
Human review, not just automation
Anything an automated check can't confidently resolve goes to a real person — not a silent denial.
