What is AdventureForge?

AdventureForge is a shared planning space for group trips — hikes, climbing weekends, paddling trips, ski tours, expeditions. Instead of a group chat, three spreadsheets and a shared doc, everything for one trip lives on one adventure page that the whole group can see and help with.

How it works

The organiser creates an adventure — a name, dates, location and a cover photo. See Setting up an adventure.
They share it. Paste the adventure link into your group chat, or invite people by email. See Inviting people.
People join and RSVP. Each person says whether they're Going, Maybe or Can't go. See Joining from an invite or link.
Everyone plans together. People who are going can add to the itinerary, meals, transport, gear, tasks and costs. Everyone can talk in the discussion.
Take it with you. Download a trip pack PDF with the whole plan for when you're out of signal.

The organiser can switch off any section the trip doesn't need — see Adventure settings & sections.

Who's who

The organiser (shown in the app as the owner) created the adventure and controls its settings. Each adventure has one organiser.
Attendees are the people on the trip. Once they've said they're Going, they can edit the plan.
Emergency contacts are people back home who can see the plan but aren't on the trip.

The full breakdown is in Roles & permissions.
