A home for your community
Groups, venues, businesses, schools and instructors each get a page with members and roles, events, announcements, polls and group chat built in.
Better than a group chat
A group chat can’t sell a ticket or find you new members.
Discord is online only, Facebook groups sink in the feed and WhatsApp has no tools. A community on ESCAPE has its own page, people with roles, a way to decide who gets in, and its events on the same page, so members find the next one where they found you.
Five kinds of community
Each kind has the tools it needs. These are real ones on ESCAPE now.

Groups

Run it from your phone
Everything a community needs, included in every one. No plugins and no extra cost.
A community's join settings: Public, Private or Invite-only, with one chosen. Decide who gets in
Open to anyone, approve each request, or invite only. Add a short questionnaire to screen new members, with ten question types and conditional logic.
A community poll part-way through the vote: two options, each with the votes so far. Ask everyone at once
Single-choice polls, plus multiple-choice and anonymous polls (coming in the next app update). Announcements go to every member, and the important one can be pinned (coming in the next app update).
The community's activity log (coming in the next app update): who approved join requests and changed how people join, and when. Keep it safe
Owners, admins and moderators share the work. Bans and an activity log of who did what (coming in the next app update), plus reports to ESCAPE, keep it accountable.
Up and running in minutes
Create the page
First, pick the kind of community, a name and a handle, a cover and how people join. It takes about three minutes.
Bring people in
Then, share the invite link or QR code (QR code coming in the next app update), approve requests, and give admins and moderators their roles.
Grow it together
From then on, host events, post announcements, run polls and talk in the group chat, which keeps itself in sync with the member list.
