Where strangers become regulars.
Join low-pressure groups around the interests, activities, and events you love — and meet near real-world places called Cabanas.
An example of how rooms nest — real Hottubs forming now are just below.

How Hottub works
Find a Hottub
A Hottub is a shared interest, activity, or event worth gathering around.
Join a subTub
subTubs are smaller groups inside a Hottub — the people you actually start to know.
Soak together
Soaks are live gatherings — join by audio/video, step in together in VR, or move into safe, verified in-person meetups.
Cabanas: places where connection can happen
Cabanas are real-world places connected to Hottub — libraries, coffee shops, bookstores, parks, venues, businesses, and volunteer sites. Find people near these places, or open your own.
Not random. Familiar over time.
Hottub helps connection build gradually. You can notice people you’ve safely shared Hottubs, subTubs, places, or Soaks with — without pressure.
Embers
Privately save a possible connection. They won’t be notified.
Familiar Faces
See people you’ve shown up with before.
Warm Intros
Consent-based introductions, only when both people are open.
No open DMs by default
Connection grows through shared context, not random messages.
Built for safety
Connection should feel warm, not exposed. Hottub is private by design, host-led, and built around consent.
