Example outing3 stops, one evening

An evening out with Meera

Meet at the record shop

Meet Meera and the group at 6:30 pm. Step in from the rain and browse the records together.
Get a booth at the diner

Warm up at a diner nearby. Order something to eat and talk about the records you found.
An evening under the lanterns

Once the rain clears, Meera takes you to an outdoor gathering. Find a spot on the grass beneath the lanterns.

Tap stop 2 to see the next place.

We made up this evening to show how it works. You can’t book it.

The idea Get to know a place through the people who live there.

You might be new in town, or you might have lived here for years. Going out with someone who knows the area can help you find a place you’d like to come back to.

That’s the idea behind HyperLocale. Local hosts plan outings around places they enjoy and share each stop along the way. You know the kind of outing you’re joining, with a few details left for later.

One stop at a timeHow it works

Start at a record shop with Meera. The next two places are a surprise. Here’s one way the evening could go.

A record shop with warm window lights and vinyl displays beside a rain-wet street.

A warmly lit retro diner with booths, coffee cups and rain outside the windows.

People sitting on picnic blankets beneath colourful lanterns at an outdoor evening gathering.

Meet Meera at the record shop as the evening rain comes down. Inside, you browse the sleeves and show each other what you found.

A few things to knowYour questions

What is HyperLocale?

HyperLocale is an app for exploring a city with a local host. The host plans the outing and shares each stop as you go.

Is it only for travellers?

You’re welcome whether you’re visiting or you live nearby. You might want to try somewhere new or get to know your own neighbourhood better.

Why keep part of the route a surprise?

Finding out where you’re going next is part of the fun. You choose the kind of outing first, and your host shares the stops along the way.

Can I book an outing on this page?

There’s no booking on this page. The evening with Meera is a made-up example to help explain the app.

I’d like to host. Who should I contact?

Write to hello@hyperlocale.in and tell us what you’d like to do. We’d like to hear about the places you know.

Have a place in mind?

If you’d like to take people around your neighbourhood, send us a note. Tell us a little about yourself and the outing you’re thinking of.
