Community-Driven Halloween Map Relaunched by Nextdoor
The neighbourhood-focused app Nextdoor has revived its well-received 'Treat Map' feature just ahead of Halloween. This map allows community members to display their festive participation, giving trick-or-treaters the knowledge of which houses are joining in the celebrations.
In practical terms, residents mark their homes with a symbolic pumpkin pin to indicate their willingness to welcome local trick-or-treaters and hand out sweets.
Nextdoor's Role During Halloween
Nextdoor, a free-to-download application, presents an excellent platform for individuals to interact with their local community. This usefulness extends to Halloween, making the season more enjoyable and safer for everyone involved.
Community Enhancement
Sharing comments on this initiative, Laura Roche, UK Managing Director at Nextdoor, stated, "Whether you're out knocking on doors in your local community or inviting people to your own home, Halloween presents a fantastic opportunity to meet your neighbours in a fun and friendly way. Our 'Treat Map' helps users plan their trick or treat route in areas they know best as well as find homes that are open to meeting their neighbours."
Recommendations for a Safe Halloween
Nextdoor suggests some effective tips for ensuring a trouble-free Halloween celebration:
- Plan the trick or treat route in advance, using the 'Treat Map' and stick to familiar, well-lit areas
- Opt for costumes with reflective fabric or tape and always carry a source of light
- Trick-or-treat in groups for added safety
- Respect property owners by not approaching homes without visible Halloween decor
