How scoring works

Fewest sips takes the hole. Tied sips? The clock decides: the slower players take +1 sip. Tournament ties are broken by lower total time.

Questions

BEFORE YOU TEE OFF

Do I need to download the app to play?

Not if a friend shared a code. Tap Join Crawl above and play right in your browser. The full iOS app gives you native haptics, on-device reminders, the AI Planner, and the ability to build & share your own crawls.

Is it like golf?

Every bar is a hole. Every sip is a stroke. Each bar has a par (how many sips it should take). Score under par for bragging rights, over par for penalty rounds. Fewest strokes wins.

How many people can play?

A single crawl runs from solo up to ~12 players. The host shares a 6-character code and friends join from any phone, with spectators watching free.

Will I get notifications?

On the iPhone app you can opt in to gentle on-device reminders: a rate-your-round / share-your-scorecard nudge after the night winds down, a notification when friends join your lobby. They're off by default, you can mute any category, and they never fire while you're already in the app. In the browser you can opt in to live alerts (bar moves, score updates) while a round is open. Reminders that fire after you close the tab are app-only.

Can I plan a crawl for a future night?

Yes. Pick a date and time when you build the crawl and it's saved as upcoming, ready to share. On the iPhone app you can opt in to a morning 'crawl today' heads-up and a 'tee time soon' nudge about 30 minutes before it kicks off, so everyone shows up on time.

Are the bars real?

Yes. The curated Crawl Library is 100+ hand-built crawls across 40+ cities, sourced from OpenStreetMap with real bar names and real street addresses, each laid out as a walkable course plan. The AI Planner builds routes from live map data, and the public Crawl Library grows from routes other players share in your city. If your city isn't curated yet, the AI Planner has you covered.

What if someone loses track of a hole?

The host can edit any player's score from the SCORECARD tab. Lowest score wins. Every sip is counted as a stroke. Real-time sync keeps everyone on the same page.

Is it safe and responsible?

Bar Crawl Golf is a tracker, not an encourager. The fewest strokes wins, so the math rewards restraint. Hard age gate at first launch: 21+. Per-hole caps are enforced. Hydration reminders fire mid-round, a Get-A-Ride button surfaces at round-end, and the Designated Driver achievement is celebrated as the hero stat. Drink water. Know your limit. Get a ride home.
