A quick tour of how AdventureForge helps groups plan outdoor trips together.

For organisers: setting up a trip, inviting people and controlling access.

Setting up an adventure
Create an adventure, what each field does, and what to do first.
Adventure settings & sections
Edit trip details, set an RSVP deadline and trip brief, and turn sections on or off.
Inviting people
Share the adventure link, invite people by email and send RSVP reminders.
Controlling who can join
Anyone with the link, Ask to join, or Invite only — and how join requests work.
Public adventures
Let anyone with the link view your plan and join transport without an account.
Managing attendees & RSVPs
See who’s going, change RSVPs, add emergency contacts and remove people.
Roles & permissions
Exactly what organisers, attendees, invitees and emergency contacts can do.
Archiving, cloning & deleting
Tidy up finished trips, reuse a plan for next year, or delete an adventure.

For everyone else: getting in from an invite or a shared link, and RSVPing.

Joining from an invite or link
What happens when you open an invite email or a link someone shared.
RSVPing
Tell the organiser whether you’re going, and what each RSVP status means.
Your profile & settings
Your name, phone, dietary requirements, password and saved templates.
