Hear What Our Beta Testers Had to Say
"It was a blast! Kind of brought back the hide and seek vibe but at a massive scale. Really worth it if you're into festivals and want a fun way to stick with your crew."
Paul N.
Shambhala Beta Tester
"Loved these! We actually used them in a medical emergency (everyone was ok thankfully), and they gave me peace of mind all festival long."
Arianne D.
Shambhala Beta Tester
"This is a must have! It was great to ditch the phone and still stay connected to my people."
Henry S.
Beyond Wonderland Tester
"I could find my friend whenever and wherever without worrying about reception."

How To Use Your Crowd Compass
Money Back Guarantee
We get it. Buying a new product is scary, and you want as much of your hard earned money as possible in reserve for festival tickets. That's why we have our Crowd Compass Money Back Guarantee!
There's a few conditions, like, you can't run it over with your truck. Full details here, but that's pretty much it.
FAQ’s
01. How does it work without service?
It uses a GPS signal to find it's location on the earth, then it uses radio waves to talk to the other devices and create a mesh network. I'm just the website guy so that's the best I can explain it, but if you want more details, click here.
02. Does it work? Will it work in a big crowd?
Yup! Crowd Compass is made to handle big crowds. We chose a radio frequency that travels well in big crowds (915 Mhz), plus the mesh network is designed so the devices will actually work better the more people have one (the opposite of your phone!). The frequency is also different to the one used by medical and security staff comms (i.e. walkie talkies), so we don't interfere with their important work.
Plus, it's been successfully tested at Burning Man and Shambhala Music Festival.
We have more details on how it works here.
03. How do I know where my friends are?
Two ways:
First, you'll see your crew's relative distance to you on the face of your device. You're in the center, and the farther from the center the other LEDs are, the farther away they are from you. There are four rings around the center, each ring is another level farther away from you.
Second, the device will tell you how far the farthest ring is. So if you change the zoom, the device might read "3 Miles" indicating that the dots on the outer rim are three miles away, everyone inside the outer rim is less than three miles. You can control the zoom to use the different ranges to find everyone in your crew.
04. How many people can I pair with?
As many as you want! If it's just you and your rave bae or a crew of 420 of your closest friends, you're good to go once you're synced up!
05. What's the battery life? Why replaceable batteries?
24+ hours. They use replaceable batteries because the feedback we got from our early testers was that they often forgot to charge the device overnight, and it was a scramble to charge them later on. It was much easier to swap AA batteries in the device and have peace of mind with a full battery.
06. Can you make it light up as well?
Yup! You'll have a party mode in the Compass as well. When you're not using your Crowd Compass to find your friends, you can switch to party mode and the lights will dance. You can also control the pattern and colors you see in party mode to make Crowd Compass part of your outfit!
07. You have an app too? Does the Compass need a phone?
Yes we'll be releasing a Crowd Compass Companion app, but no, you do not need the app for your Compass to work. The app will unlock a bunch of extra features and customizations, including direct messaging with your crew without LTE!
08. How much? And when can I purchase?
Pre Orders are open now! The pre order prices are the best prices you'll get and we'll be closing the store once we run out. Don't wait!
09. When will they be shipped?
Our goal is to always be honest and transparent with our dates, and we'll keep you informed as we go. As it's our first production run, it's tough to say a date for sure.
These are the potential dates we'll be shipping the first batch and how confident we are in each date:
- June: 10% Chance
- July: 75% Chance
- August: 99.99% Chance*
We promise it's worth the wait for a quality, fully-tested product you can trust for all your future festivals! Good things take time. 😉
*We don’t have 100% confidence in August due to the possibility of a nuclear attack, zombie invasion, or, of course, our team getting selected for a top secret mission in which the fate of the world is at stake.
10. What if it doesn't work?
It works! It's been tested and Shambhala and Burning Man and the technology performs incredibly well.
If however, something goes wrong (it doesn't work for you, you don't like it, etc.) after you purchase, you can get 100% of your money back with our Crowd Compass Guarantee.
11. I purchased! What now?
First off, thank-you and congrats! We're excited you're amongst the first!
You should have received an order confirmation email after your purchase (that means all is good!). You can expect some email updates throughout the coming weeks, and we'll keep you updated on our progress in getting your order together and expected shipping timelines.
If you need to change something about your order (payment card, address, etc.), get in touch with our customer service at info@crowdcompass.io.
