Question 1

What is Bonfire?

Accepted Answer

Bonfire is a social platform for real life happening now. Instead of showing you what already happened, Bonfire helps you step into what's happening tonight — turning quiet downtime into real plans with the people around you.

Question 2

When is Bonfire launching?

Accepted Answer

Bonfire is launching its closed beta in Summer 2026, starting with Cornell University and New York City. Founding members can request early access on the homepage.

Question 3

Where is Bonfire available?

Accepted Answer

Bonfire is launching first at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and across New York City. Additional cities and campuses will be added after the initial beta.

Question 4

How is Bonfire different from other social apps?

Accepted Answer

Most social apps reward you for watching life from a screen. Bonfire is built for showing up — for people who still go out, who want presence over performance, and who want fewer feeds and more nights worth remembering.

Question 5

Is Bonfire free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bonfire will be free during the beta launch. Founding members get priority access and a permanent founding member badge.
