SEEK

The stones name your road. Seek names your hour.

The playa is quiet on that filter.

Tonight's path

Three or four that work in sequence — each far enough apart in time to get there, close enough to walk.

How Seek works

The stones name your road. Seek names your hour.

◉ The map is live

Every marker is a real event at a real camp, from the official Black Rock City listings. The glyph tells you what kind: ♪ party, ⌂ class, ▽ bar, ◗ food, ✎ craft, ✦ art.

◐ Bright means soon

Markers glow brighter the closer an event is to starting, and fade as it ends. A party two hours out sits dim; the same party fifteen minutes out burns bright. Glance at the map and the bright things are the things happening now.

✱ Tap any marker

Tap a marker to see what it is. Where several events share a corner, the marker shows a number — tap it to cycle through them.

⊕ Pinch to zoom

Pinch or drag the map to move around. Double-tap to snap back to the whole city.

◈ Re-seek

Can't decide? Hit Re-seek and the oracle chooses for you. Every camp that matches your filters lights up, the wind takes them one by one, and whichever ember survives is where you're going.

◎ Where am I?

Lost? Tap it and the app reads your GPS back to you as a playa address — “you're at 4:15 & F.” Works with no signal at all; GPS is satellite.

⌂ Take me home

Set your camp once. After that, one tap gives you the direction and walking distance back to your own tent, from anywhere in the city.

⬚ On the map

Toilets shows all 45 banks and tells you which is nearest — those positions come from the official city GIS data.

Medical, Rangers, Ice and Info come from the same place — Burning Man's own published GIS, which lists Rampart, the three Emergency Services stations, Ranger HQ and its outposts, the Arcticas and Playa Info by survey coordinate. These are the official positions, not estimates.

They are the 2025 layout, and the city is rebuilt every year, so they will be refreshed when the 2026 data publishes. In a real emergency flag down a Ranger — they are everywhere, and faster than any map.

Now is happening this hour. Soon is the next three hours. Nearby is a ten-minute walk. Your choices are remembered.

⚠ About the dates

This is running on 2025 event data as a preview. The 2026 listings publish a few weeks before gates, and everything here will switch over automatically.
