1. How do I find an event?

Upon reaching your travel destination, log into the Mixx App. Mixx automatically generates a personalized map of your location based on your preferences and proximity to like-minded travelers. Click on any venue to see who is attending. If you’re interested in joining, click ‘I’m Interested’ under the venue listing. You can then choose to invite nearby travelers to join in the fun!

2. How do I create an event?

On Mixx’s main screen map view, click “add venue” on the lower right-hand corner. Select your venue and the start time of your event. You will then have the option to invite nearby travelers. Upon your arrival, check-in on your Mixx app and let fellow Mixxers know where they can find you.

For example, if you are taking a tour of the Eiffel tower, you can announce “Hey travel buddies! Meet me at the south lawn by the foot of the tower.” Easy as that!

3. How do I let a fellow Mixxer know I have arrived at their event?

Once you have clicked the ‘I’m Interested’ button on an event, you will have the opportunity to ping the creator of the event. Simply hit the green bar under ‘I’m Interested’ that reads ‘Ping Them’. A notice will be sent to the creator of the event that you are looking to join their Mixx group.
