Melbourne venues are half empty on a Tuesday afternoon and packed on a Saturday night. Tides is built on that gap. Venues put up discounts for their quiet windows, and you get a cheaper day out for going when it suits them.

Bowling, mini golf, escape rooms, go-karting, arcades, pickleball, board game
cafes and a few things you probably haven't heard of.

HOW A DEAL WORKS

Find a discount you like and claim it. You get a code and a QR on your phone,
plus an email copy. Turn up at the venue during the hours the deal runs and show it at the counter. That's it.

It's walk-in, not a booking. We tell the venue roughly when you're planning to
arrive so they can expect you, but if the place is full when you get there, it's
full. Deals run in set windows, usually the quieter parts of the week.

FINDING SOMETHING TO DO

Browse the map to see what's near you. Search if you already know what you
want. Or open Pick For Me, answer a few questions about who you're with and
what you feel like, and swipe through until something clicks.

Save the places you like for later. Rate the ones you've been to, so the next
person gets a straight answer about whether it's worth it.

Some venues also list standing in-store offers, things they run all the time
that don't need a coupon. Those are marked separately so you know the
difference.

THE HONEST BITS

Melbourne only, for now.

Free. No subscription, no booking fees, no markup. Venues set their own
discounts and you pay them directly, at the venue, at their price.

You can browse everything without an account. You'll need one to claim a deal,
save places, or leave a rating.

Deals come and go depending on what venues are running. Some weeks there's more
on than others.
