Where it startedThey met at Techstars Startup Weekend and agreed on one thing: nobody rewards you for exploring.

Why no bad days

Forget the perfect itinerary. Say yes to the detour.

That’s usually where the story is.

Nobody remembers the afternoon that went exactly to plan. You remember the bar you ducked into when the Red Line died, or the bakery you found because you turned left instead of right.

That’s the whole idea behind No Bad Days Club. Every stop, every check-in, every side quest counts, including the ones that didn’t go to plan. Especially those.

Not every day goes right. But no day out exploring is a bad one.

Questions.

What is No Bad Days Club?

A game you play in the real city. Complete challenges at real Boston spots, take a photo to prove you were there, and earn XP, badges and rewards while finding the city you thought you already knew.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free to join and free to play, on iOS and Android. Exploring and earning XP will always be free.

How does photo verification work?

Take a photo at the spot. Our AI checks that it really is the place and that you are nearby, and it can tell a real visit from a screenshot. If it cannot confirm, it tells you why and you can try again. Tip: keep the place clearly in frame and shoot in decent light.

What can I actually redeem?

Every XP you earn also lands as a point. Points buy $5 gift cards from 250 (Dunkin’, Starbucks, Panera, Tatte), $10 rides, food and movies at 500, museum tickets from 750, and $30 at partner spots at 1,500. Spending points never lowers your XP or rank. Stock restocks on the 1st of every month.

What are streaks?

Your streak counts the days in a row you open the app. Hit 7, 15 or 30 days for a streak badge and bonus XP. Miss a day and it starts again.

Who is it for?

Locals who want to actually know their city. Students who just moved here. Travellers tired of the same tourist loop. Anyone who suspects their city has more to offer than they have found.

Where is it available?

Boston, where we launched. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are next.

How do I become a partner venue?

Email shreya@nobaddaysclub.com. Partners get foot traffic from challenge tasks, exposure to active explorers, and can co-create custom challenges.
