How it works
Log off.
Go outside. Level up.
Limin turns the four years you already have into something you'll actually remember. No grinding at a desk: every point is earned by being somewhere.
STEP_01.EXESTEP_02.EXEActually go there
Walk over and check in. Limin verifies you're really in the zone with a GPS geofence. Your location is only checked when you tap, never tracked in the background.
STEP_03.EXE
Stack your rewards
Earn Zest, grow your streak, stamp your Places passport, unlock titles and themes, and climb your campus leaderboard toward the Royalty crown.

Zest you earn,

Unlockable themes
Your campus,
in your hands.
Every theme is a pixel-art panorama of a real place that pans behind the app as you swipe between tabs. Visit more of campus to unlock them, one Places milestone at a time. The last one is a secret.
Better together
Bring your people.
Co-op quests
Invite friends into a lobby, meet up at the spot, and complete it together for a bigger payout.
Campus events
Find what's happening tonight or host your own. Show up, check in, and get paid in Zest for it.
Session chat
Chat with your group while a quest or event is live. It disappears when the session's over.
Students only
Sign-up needs a verified campus email. Blocking, reporting, and real moderators keep it a good place to be.
