PartyNow helps you discover events that actually match your taste. Whether you're into underground techno, rooftop lounges, or live jazz, this tutorial will show you how to find your perfect night out.

Step 1: Set Your Preferences

After signing up, you'll be asked about your music preferences, typical budget, and favorite vibes. Don't skip this—it's how our AI learns what you like.

Be honest! If you love hip-hop but hate electronic music, tell us. The more specific you are, the better your recommendations will be.

Step 2: Try "Tonight For Me"

This is where the magic happens. "Tonight For Me" shows you personalized event cards. Swipe right on events you like, left on ones you don't.

Our AI learns from every swipe. After rating 10-15 events, you'll notice recommendations getting scary accurate. It's like Tinder, but for finding parties that match your exact vibe.

Step 3: Use Smart Filters

Looking for something specific? Use our advanced filters:

  • Music Genre: House, techno, hip-hop, rock, jazz, and 20+ more
  • Price Range: Free events, under $20, under $50, or premium
  • Date & Time: Tonight, this weekend, or specific dates
  • Location: Within walking distance, neighborhood, or city-wide
  • Venue Type: Clubs, bars, rooftops, warehouses, outdoor

Combine multiple filters to narrow down exactly what you want. Need a free outdoor techno event this Saturday within 2 miles? We got you.

Step 4: Explore the Heat Map

Switch to map view to see what's hot near you. Events pulse with energy based on their Vibe Score. The brighter and bigger the pulse, the more popular the event.

Use the heat map when you're out and spontaneously want to find something nearby. It's perfect for tourists or when you're exploring a new neighborhood.

Step 5: Bookmark & Share

Found something you like? Bookmark it! You'll get a reminder 2 hours before the event starts. Planning with friends? Tap share to send them the event directly.
